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 […]

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 […]
Today is World Card Making Day!
What are you doing for World Card Making Day? I have several friends coming over to make some cards! Can’t wait for them to get here this afternoon. I have lots of fun cards planned, especially a head start on Christmas cards. Have a great day today, stamping and making cards! Meanwhile, don’t forget to […]
Feels Like Home, dear friend
Today I’m using another of the stamp sets that I wasn’t 100% sure about getting it. As many of you know I am not a coloring type of person. I’ve put the blender pens on my want list many times only to move them to the next month’s list because I’m not very good with […]
What can you do with Textures & Frames?
Initially, I wasn’t sure what I do with the stamp set, just that I wanted it to add accents to my cards. But I was amazed at the various cards I was able to create with the Textures & Frames stamp set. My cards came together quickly once I decided which ink colors to use […]
Christmas “Paws” card
I’m starting my Christmas cards early this year! The last few years I’ve had great intentions, but somehow December rolls around and I haven’t started making them! Since we still aren’t traveling I don’t have much to do other than make cards! LOL. I have over 20 cards designed so far. Maybe it’s time to […]
“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 […]
