It was a rainy, rainy weekend. Oh drat, that meant I just had I “had” to stay inside and spend 2 days in my craft room – LOL. Yes, it was torture – NOT, because I had lots of creative time! I’ve had all kinds of card and box ideas that had been swirling in my mind […]
Stampin' Up! Bundles
Haunted Fireplaces and Halloween
Did you make any cards for World Card Day yesterday? Have you shared them here or elsewhere? Let us know so we can see your creations! I spent the last two days creating with all my new Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog goodies! I got my second shipment on Thursday with 6 more bundles in this order (minus 2 […]
Ah, cooler temperatures!
My post is late this morning since I’ve been enjoying the wonderful 60 degree weather when I woke up! It’s “fall” in southern Texas, at least for a few days. So I decided it was time to share some more of my Fall creations that my classes will be doing this month. First up is a […]
Snowflakes and Nights of Navy for a wintery scene, but it’s still warm outside
Today’s Christmas card uses Night of Navy, Whisper White and Silver to make this wintery scene. I keep hoping for cooler temperatures – not freezing, remember I’m a Texas girl at heart, but 50-60’s would be nice. Even 70’s are sounding good right about now! This card was created with the dotted Christmas tree stamp […]
Trees in the snow, but thank goodness not in Houston!
I know, I’ve been talking about cooler temperatures, but I don’t want snow! That’s why I live in Texas, usually no snow! I’m back to traditional Christmas colors of red and green for this Christmas card. This card uses the Perfect Pines framelits dies to cut 2 different size trees. I used 2 of the other dies […]
Halloween Boo to You
Yesterday I posted my first Fall card of the season. And right in the middle of fall we celebrate…Halloween. Even though I don’t tend to make many Halloween cards, this design was just calling to me! The Happy Scenes bundle helped me quickly create the spooky scene. I found some retired paper with the black birds in my […]
Season change – Fall time is officially here
I’ve been showing you my Christmas card creations from last weekend, but I thought it was time to come back to the current season – Fall! And what better way to highlight beautiful fall colors than to use the new Happy Scenes stamp set with the coordinating Hearth & Home thinlets dies. Even better, you can order them as […]
It’s Fall? Not according to my thermometer!
Where did last week go? It can’t be Tuesday and it definitely can’t be fall already!!??!! I hope our Texas temperatures catch on quickly that they are supposed to be dropping. In the 90’s just isn’t conducive to feeling the “fall” weather! I thought I’d help the weatherman along and create some Christmas cards in hopes the […]
Handmade for the Holidays – lots of choices
This year’s holiday catalog has 17, yes 17 bundles that include a stamp set with either a coordinating punch or framelit dies (and saves you 15%)! Where to start, where to start…oh so many options. So far my favorite is actually 2 – the Festive Fireplace bundle and Happy Scenes bundle! So many ways to use them, they are […]
