I always say that you can never have enough thank you or birthday cards on hand…it seems like I always need one at the last minute! This month, I’m working on creating more thank you cards since my stash is low. And several of the cards I’ve made this past weekend can easily be converted to […]
Thank You cards
Give Thanks for Fall
I’m still creating cards for Thanksgiving and fall birthdays using my retired DSP. This wonderful fall plaid is from the Happy Haunting DSP. What? Yes, it’s from a Halloween paper set. If you turned the black dot side over you have entirely different theme with this fun plaid! That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up! double-sided […]
Baby Aggie on the way!
We were all so excited when one of my nieces announced they had an “Aggie” on the way. (Her and her husband are both Texas A&M grads, hence the cute announcement on their FB page). And when she announced her due date – November 25 – wow…it’s her and her mother, my sister’s birthdays! Wouldn’t that […]
Another simple card makes a big statement
After finishing all my gift box ideas, I’ve been playing with my new BigShot dies from Stampin’ Up! (since I finally got my big order!). This is another of those quick and easy cards that has been bouncing around my head just waiting for my Botanical Builder dies. A Whisper white card base, a piece […]
You’re the Best Friendly Wishes
Another challenge template for my “You’re the Best” card to thank someone for what they do. Hopping back another week, I looked up Connie Stewart’s SGGWW 7-22-16 challenge template. Using templates makes card design so much easier, all you have to do is pick your favorite papers and colors combinations. I love B&W with a pop […]
Swirly Scribbles and Artsy Geometrics
As I said Monday, I was really productive this past weekend! After finishing my 8-5-16 SGGWW challenge card (if you missed it, see it here), I went back a week to look at the 7-29-16 challenge. Oh, oh…another great template but this time for the Swirly Scribbles thinlet dies I just got. A couple of […]

And you can get it bundled with the matching thinlet dies (and save 10%), making your card creation possibilities endless. Just look at these three […]
More card ideas and no fuss!
I’ve been showcasing my Paper Pumpkin alternative cards to show you how easy it is to use the monthly Paper Pumpkin kits. But here’s another option to make a lot of cards, for a lot of occasions, really quick! It’s one of Stampin’ Up! All-Inclusive kits, this one is called “Oh Happy Day.” It makes 20 […]
A thank you challenge
So I’ve been working on alternatives for my February 2016 Hello Sunshine Paper Pumpkin kit. The airy peel and stick flower from this card left shadow pieces from the cutout. And I thought it was such a waste to just toss those, so I created this card. Now, I have to tell you it wasn’t […]
