Time to ease into fall here in southern Texas with temperatures occasionally dipping into the ’60s. We are always behind most of the country with experiencing fall temperatures, but finally this week we are getting a “cold” front. That means highs in the ’70s, lows in the ’60s, glorious weather in my opinion. Hopefully, our […]
Stampin' Up! DSP
Another sketch, another Christmas card
I had a great time on Saturday – World Card Making Day (#wcmd2021) with a friend. We made Christmas & holiday cards all the while catching up with each other’s lives. It was fun, relaxing and productive. She left with 8 sets of cards (4 each) so that’s 32 cards!! Not bad for an afternoon […]
“Fantabulous” Fun Fold card
As the greeting on today’s cards says “Hope your day is Fantabulistic! Fabulous and Fantastic all in one!” It is one of the great stamps in the In Your Words host stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration catalog available through the end of this month. I thought this greeting deserved a fun-fold card to set it […]
Beauty of the Earth Woods slimline birthday card
A while back I learned that my slimline cards would fit into business-size envelopes, who knew! So I decided to make one of my September Sip ‘n Stamp night cards a slimline card. I wanted my group to see how easy it is to make these cards. We started with a 7-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece […]
Happy Birthday with Fall Trees and Wood planks
This birthday card was another of the ones I created for my Sip ‘n Stamp evening. I love the varied leaf colors with this Beauty of the Earth DSP sheet. I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and dry embossed the front with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. It’s hard to see in […]
Fall trees for a birthday
This is another birthday card using the Beauty of the Earth DSP. The sheet I chose is a forest of fall trees papers painted so that you can easily get 6 card fronts out of each 12″x12″ paper. If you cut it in half across the middle “white” section, then cut each of those pieces […]
Beauty of the Earth designer series paper
The Beauty of the Earth designer’s series paper is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many ways to use this for all kinds of cards, including fall, birthdays (works wonderfully for those guy cards we all need), Thanksgiving, or almost all year long. My birthday card “stash” is low so I designed birthday cards for my […]
Fall simplicity for FMS503 sketch
I love creating cards each week with the Freshly Made Sketches. Whenever I get stuck for an idea I go there for inspiration – works every time! I already had several cards planned in my head earlier in the week and was surprised to see this week’s sketch matched my idea cards. The design team […]
Brilliant Wings & Hand-Penned cards
Did you know a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope? Yesterday, I shared a kaleidoscope of butterflies cards created with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. Today I’m sharing more cards I made with the Brilliant Wings dies combined with the Hand-Penned Memories & More cards and envelopes. Lately, I’m using lots of these cards, including […]
