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, […]
Paper Pumpkin, easy as pie
I’ve said many times how easy it is to create cards and projects using Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin kit. As I was cleaning up my craft room to get ready for my next project, I came across the Paper Pumpkin Layers of Gratitude kit from February 2015. It brought to mind many of the things […]
Ice Cream and sprinkles – what better way to celebrate a birthday?
Yesterday I shared 3 Birthday Bonanza triple-fold cards I made for my granddaughter and several nieces (see here). Today’s card is for my cousin’s wife. I cut a 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of the ice cream cones/candles DSP from the retired Birthday Bonanza DSP. Score the DSP along the 12″ side at: 4-1/4″ (this will […]
Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards

Swap thank you card from For the Love of Felt kit
As usual, I’m a little behind in playing with all my Stampin’ Up! goodies. In keeping with my 2021 resolutions, I pulled out my retired “For the Love of Felt” kit to create a swap card for one of my groups. The kit contains all the pieces I need to create 4 of several card […]
Oh dear, another dear pet loss card for FMS470 challenge
I’m sad that for two weeks in a row I’m posting my FMS card as a pet condolence card. I hope that this doesn’t become a common occurrence. One of my sister’s dear dog Lacy finally left this world for pet heaven. Lacy was always racing around and so excited to see me even up […]
Dragonflies in Flower & Field DSP gift card
I occasionally need a gift card holder card and I’m always looking for new ways to create them. I learned a new one from the “Creativate Winter 2021” online stamping retreat I attended. Very interesting card. It was part of a “Mystery Stamp” session. In the past, I’ve been successful in creating a card I […]
