Happy Birthday with Fall Trees and Wood planks
This birthday card was another of the ones I created for my Sip ‘n Stamp evening. I love the varied leaf colors with this Beauty of the Earth DSP sheet. I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and dry embossed the front with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. It’s hard to see in […]
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.

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 […]
