Last Thursday I shared some of the cards I created with the retiring Flowers for Every Season Memories & More card pack and DSP. I bet you thought there were no more cards to be made from this set, but you’ll be incredibly surprised! There are 50 double-sided card in the card pack, so that’s […]

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 […]
Do you need more easy cards?
As things are returning to normal and many of you are returning to in-person work and events, does it seem like your crafting time has diminished? But do you still want to create cards, not buy them? One of the best solutions I can recommend is to use your Memories & More card packs! They […]
Understanding My Obsession With Memories & More cards
Yes, I’m willing to admit it, I’m obsessed with all of the Memories & More card packs that Stampin’ Up! has created over the last several years. It’s so much fun, and easy to create cards with them.

Tulips for Easter
When I was growing up my mom, aunt and grandmother all had tulips in their spring gardens. We knew it was finally spring with mostly warmer weather (although growing up in Omaha we were known to get snow even in May!) when the tulips started blooming. When I realized Easter was just around the corner, […]
Waiting for my March Paper Pumpkin box
I typically receive my monthly Paper Pumpkin box a good 10-14 business days after the 10th of the month…sigh. So this weekend, as I’m waiting for March’s Paper Pumpkin box, I pulled out my February “Bouquet of Hope” paper pumpkin kit. I looked at the directions and example cards and headed out on my own […]
Ice Cream and sprinkles – what better way to celebrate a birthday?
Yesterday I shared 3 Birthday Bonanza triple-fold cards I made for my granddaughter and several nieces (see here). Today’s card is for my cousin’s wife. 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 […]
