Simple stamping can be fun for everyone. Whether you’re brand new to papercrafting or you just want to stamp a greeting to add to a plate of cookies, we all need ideas for quick cards. I need to remind myself that sometimes “less is more.” Here’s several simple cards created by the Stampin’ Up! artists which […]

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 […]
Life is better with friends and family…
Especially during this extended period of social distancing we are experiencing with the COVID pandemic. Who would have believed we’d still be doing this almost 8 months later? I’ve been working on feel good cards to send out to friends I haven’t been able to get together with for a while. Today’s card was CASEd […]
Gone to the dogs with FMS453 sketch
Saturday evening we were supposed to spend the evening with dear friends at their Galveston Bay house for dinner. Friday night I texted to make sure all would be well with a possible hurricane heading into southeast coast of Texas. They said everything should be okay, but they’d let us know Saturday morning. Saturday morning […]
Beginner to avid crafter, which one are you?
I’ve shared multiple fall cards this week using the Love of Leaves and Gilded Autumn bundles in the new Stampin’ Up! mini (holiday) catalog. Today’s cards are designed for all levels of crafters. So what kind of paper crafter are you? Are you a Beginner and Casual Crafter? (or need a card in a hurry?) […]
FMS450-An alternate Kit in Color paper pumpkin card
I’m finally back to crafting after spending several weeks off social distancing with family. I gathered several months of my Paper Pumpkin kits together to begin designing alternative cards from each of them. In the midst of doing that, I saw the FMS450 template and decided to make this alternative card using the May, 2020 […]
