I decided it was time to switch over to create a few Valentine’s Day cards before I continue on with birthday cards. The FMS271 sketch was perfect this Valentines Day card using the Falling in Love DSP. I looked through the papers and decided to use the hearts. I laid out my card, but somehow it just […]
Stampin' Up! Bundles
Balloon Adventures, shaking it up for you
This is my second post for the day, see my earlier post about my new “Bee” Rewards program here. This past week I made a lot of birthday cards and almost all used the Balloon Adventure stamp set – I love this set! Today’s card uses it again, but this time I also used the […]
Festive Balloon Adventures for MOJO479
Finally, my box of new Stampin’ Up! goodies arrived this week. I was late in ordering since December was a family month with little time to do anything else. No crafting, no creating new projects, no orders for the new stamps, papers and accessories (I did have severe withdrawals-LOL, but family is more important!). So this week I’ve […]
Pretty Pines for Christmas
Finally, a Christmas card made from something other than the Candy Cane Lane DSP! I started this card several weeks ago when I received my Pine Bough embossing folder. But as I started my layout, I realized I wanted to add some pine cones to it. So I had to order the Pretty Pines thinlits and […]
Candy Cane holiday tags
Yes, I love Christmas and I’m back to making more holiday items. And I love my new Candy Cane Lane DSP (on sale here)! I’ve used it on two different cards so far, see them here and here. And today I’m showing you how easy it is to make Christmas gift tags using the entire […]
Here’s to Cheer a 90th birthday!
My father will be turning 90 in February (WOW!) and I thought this week’s PPA322 template challenge would be a great template to create his card. I used masculine colors from the retired Sweater Weather DSP and the Here’s to Cheer stamp with the “there is much to celebrate” saying since it seemed so appropriate for his celebration. […]
Celebrate the Stars, 60th birthday – MOJO469
Yesterday I shared my MOJO469 card entry for this week. If you missed it, see it here. Then in a moment of creativity at 5 am in the morning (unheard of for me, a non-morning person) I created this 2nd entry card using the same template. When I first saw this week’s template, I thought it would take […]
Greetings from Santa for FMS257
I loved last week’s FMS template and the card I made, so I was really excited when I saw this week’s template. I knew exactly what I wanted to use for this challenge – the new Detailed Santa thinlit die! I’ve been waiting for just the right template to create this card! This card came together […]
Pyramid Pals for the Holidays!
I fell in love with the Pyramid Pals thinlits when they came out in the annual catalog, but they’ve been languishing on my craft table waiting for a spark of inspiration. I really wasn’t a fan of the animals it made (even though they are cute), but I just knew it would make some great gift packaging […]
