Yesterday I shared my Timeless Tulips Easter cards. Another spring flower my mom had in her garden was Daisies. So out came my Daisy Lane stamp set and the Daisy and Medium Daisy punches to create more spring and Easter cards (I have a lot of family around the country that I want to send […]

Tulips for Easter
When I was growing up my mom, aunt and grandmother all had tulips in their spring gardens. We knew it was finally spring with mostly warmer weather (although growing up in Omaha we were known to get snow even in May!) when the tulips started blooming. When I realized Easter was just around the corner, […]
Waiting for my March Paper Pumpkin box
I typically receive my monthly Paper Pumpkin box a good 10-14 business days after the 10th of the month…sigh. So this weekend, as I’m waiting for March’s Paper Pumpkin box, I pulled out my February “Bouquet of Hope” paper pumpkin kit. I looked at the directions and example cards and headed out on my own […]
Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards
I learned another way to use Stampin’ Up! wonderful DSP, rather than hoard them. Instead of the standard cardstock card base, use your favorite DSP! All you need is a piece of 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of your favorite DSP, a few scraps of matching cardstock colors and a stamp set. You can also use […]

Dandy Garden Happy birthday cards
Another set of cards using the Dandy Garden suite. This time I focused just on quick and simple birthday cards since I need a lot of them for January and February birthdays. This card, on a Basic White card base, used another of the 4″ x 6″ Memories & More cards and a piece of […]
Whale of a Time with curvy waves
With creative curves and wonderful waves, the Quite Curvy Stamp Set and coordinating Curvy Dies add texture and dimension to any paper project! And combined with my Whale of a Time DSP, I made these two great “underwater” cards! On my first card I used the curvy “bubbles” die. NOTE: be sure to look carefully […]
Celebrate Every Special Moment – with a handmade card
While I love having a stash of stamp sets and other supplies for specific seasons and special occasions (way too many according to my husband, he avoids looking in my craft room for just that reason – LOL!), I like to keep a selection of versatile options on hand for simple and convenient crafting. With […]
