Surely not! I have a lot of Stampin’ Up! dies and I often ponder that question – should I keep them all? Whenever Stampin’ Up! retires my die sets, I look through them. But all things considered, I almost always decide to keep them anyway. Meanwhile, what are my favorite die sets I’m using right […]
Stampin' Up! dies
Gorgeous Fall cards with Aspen Tree dies
I found the Aspen Tree dies in the July-December Mini catalog after looking through the catalog a number of times. I absolutely love the beautiful cards I can make with the dies and a variety of Stampin’ Up! DSP! I’m still making cards but I want to share some of my gorgeous Fall cards. I […]

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 […]
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!

I thought this greeting deserved a fun-fold card to set it […]
