I attended the “Creativate Winter 2021” online stamp retreat last weekend with a few of my favorite Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. This is their third one, and my second participation. It’s held all day Saturday on Facebook live which makes for a long, but very creative day! I come away with so many creative ideas and techniques […]

Poinsettia Petals – a holiday card for beginner to avid crafters
We are having such wonderful cool weather for Texas that it makes me think of the upcoming holidays. These three cards made with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set make great holiday cards. When creating a holiday Christmas card, consider the time you have to make it, how many cards you need, and the supplies you have on […]
Turning the FMS#438 template for more cards
Last Friday I posted my FMS#438 challenge card (see it here). I changed the template’s orientation and created 2 more cards so I could show how you can use a template and create many looks. Here’s the first card I posted last Friday that followed the template. For my second card I rotated the template […]
Spring flowers a bloom

This first card uses the FMS270, which I loved, set see my previous card here. I thought it would work perfectly with my […]

This time I used the Birthday Bouquet DSP with it’s beautiful soft colors for my card. One side is the beautiful camilla […]

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 […]
Washi tape everything and everywhere!
Another thing I tend to have a lot of – my washi tape collection. Yes, collection since I think I have every set of washi tape that Stampin’ Up! has ever had – LOL! I’m trying to find alternative ways to use a lot of it up since I can only make so many cards with […]
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 […]
