A belated Valentine’s Day greeting
The Sweet Talk DSP is probably my all-time favorite Valentine’s Day DSP that Stampin’ Up! has created. I didn’t think I’d like it, but when I started playing with it to make cards, I fell in love! All my Valentine cards were made with this Sweet Talk DSP. So a belated Happy Valentine’s Day to […]

The Butterfly Brilliance Bundle is one of those sets and it really has my creative juices flowing. The bundle includes the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set, a large image-only stamp […]
Memories of Yesterday for FMS482
My cousin’s wife’s adult son died last week after battling heart problems most of his life. I know it’s been so hard for her and her grandsons, and I wanted to send her a sympathy card. As I was contemplating my card design, I saw this week’s FMS482 sketch. I thought it was such a […]

Ice Cream and sprinkles – what better way to celebrate a birthday?

I cut a 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of the ice cream cones/candles DSP from the retired Birthday Bonanza DSP. Score the DSP along the 12″ side at: 4-1/4″ (this will […]
Gilded Autumn, Beautiful day and lots of leaves!
I’m continuing my quest to make a bunch of fall cards. Take a look at my other cards here and here. I CASed today’s card from a 2014 Stampin’ Up stamp and die set that had the “feathers.” I don’t have a picture of the original card (buried somewhere so deep in my files I couldn’t find […]
Love of Leaves for fall cards
Yesterday I shared two of my fall crds using the Gilded Autumn and Love of Leaves bundles, see them here. Today’s cards use more of the gorgeous Gilded Autumn DSP and the Stitched Leaves dies again to make cutouts to let the DSP peek through. My first card uses the leftover piece from the Cajun Craze […]
