I finally began creating cards with my new Dandy Garden suite stamps and DSP from the new Mini Catalog. I ordered this suite for the virtual Stampin’ Up! OnStage at home virtual event I attended. It’s been fun creating these cards with this suite. This card uses a Mossy Meadow card base and one of […]
Stampin' Up! Bundles
Whale of a Time with curvy waves
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 […]
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 […]
Enjoy the little things in life…like cool weather!
Yes, it’s been glorious here in Houston with incredibly cool temperatures (for us, that is)! Today I’m back to another fall cards before I start on my Christmas cards. The card was part of a zoom stamp meeting challenge on the “Stamping Family” group I belong to. Confession on my part, I had to watch […]
A card that doubles as gift card holder? YES
Buying gifts during this time is a little more difficult than usual. And not knowing what someone needs during these strange times calls for a gift card. But why use a plain holder when you can easily make a unique and festive card that’s also a gift card holder?! #RondaWade demonstrated this gift holder idea […]
Falling for FMS #454 – which card do you like the best?
I love my two fall stamp sets, Gather Together and Beautiful Autumn, along with the matching dies and Gilded Autumn DSP. I’m having so much fun with them, I haven’t stopped to order my Christmas and holiday stuff…will do soon! This week’s FMS454 sketch was an easy one for me. The question for me was […]
Fall (and tropical storm!) hit Texas with cooler temperatures!
It looks like my making fall cards is paying off…we are finally got a “cool” front, along with a tropical storm, not a hurricane-YEA. For those of you up north…this means early summer weather – LOL. For us in Texas, we are looking at the 60’s for several days! Yea!! Another fall card today to […]
Just CASE it…what does that mean?
Several of my recent cards have been CASEd cards. Whatever does that means? When I first started paper crafting a number of years ago, I had to ask also. To CASE (Copy and Share Everything) is something nearly every experienced papercrafter does (or should be doing!) on a regular basis. You see a card in […]
