Yes, it’s more butterflies to end this week. I used another of the many ones I cut last week for today’s card. Using up some of the last of my non-holiday side of Season of Cheer DSP for this spring card. I made it with the generic “for you” saying from the Sale-a-bration Happy Wishes […]
Thinking of You cards
Lessons learned on stamping Painted Harvest!
As I said yesterday, I was not entirely happy with how my Painted Harvest 2-step flowers were looking as I was playing with different color combinations. So I went to YouTube and found Patty Bennett’s tips (PattyStamps.com) on how to get a good Painted Harvest flower (don’t you just love the wonderful bloggers who share […]
Go wild becomes sympathy card…really?
When you hear “Go Wild” I’m sure you can think of all kinds of wild cards, but you wouldn’t think tasteful sympathy card, right? Well, I’m here today to show you how that assumption would be so wrong. The wonderful thing about Stampin’ Up!’s Go Wild DSP is that one side is wild animal prints, the other side is more sedate, […]
Pink Pirouette and the Go Wild DSP?
Sounds like an unlikely combination to me. When I think of pink pirouette, I think little girl’s pink tutus and dance costumes, not wild animal prints. At least that’s what I thought when I was thumbing through all the Go Wild DSP patterns to see what colors to pair them with for what type of card. You know I love […]

Thinking of you with May Flowers framelits dies
I was playing and designing cards with the May Flowers framelits dies this past weekend. The large main flower is stunning, especially when it’s overlaid on a dramatic color to highlight it. When I saw the PCC228 color challenge, a color combo I would not have ever thought about, I decided to give it a try. Cherry […]
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 […]
Beautiful Branches flower – pretty as a picture
Yesterday I shared my 2nd SGGW-WC card. It was my first fall card of the season, but if you remember I was having a difficult time making the DSP I selected fit the card? But when I flipped the paper, the other side was perfect. But I couldn’t let that beautiful yellow petals side go to waste. Since […]
