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 […]
Stampin' Up! dies
“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 […]
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 […]
Fall simplicity for FMS503 sketch
I love creating cards each week with the Freshly Made Sketches. Whenever I get stuck for an idea I go there for inspiration – works every time! I already had several cards planned in my head earlier in the week and was surprised to see this week’s sketch matched my idea cards. The design team […]
Brilliant Wings & Hand-Penned cards
Did you know a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope? Yesterday, I shared a kaleidoscope of butterflies cards created with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. Today I’m sharing more cards I made with the Brilliant Wings dies combined with the Hand-Penned Memories & More cards and envelopes. Lately, I’m using lots of these cards, including […]
Butterfly Brilliance bundle
Every once in a while I come across a bundle that reminds me about all the cool things you can do with stamps and coordinating products. 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 […]
I’ve expanded my coloring experience!
Last week I talked about the cards I made and fell in love with coloring (see it here). I’ve gone all out with my coloring efforts on these Dragonfly Garden cards. I made several cards with the stamp set and dragonfly punch for an online Winter Creativate event with just the DSP and punch, not […]
I’m in love with coloring!
For those of you who know me well, that’s an earth-shattering statement. I’ve avoided the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets that needed to be colored because I never felt I could create the beautiful images that others were making. I did buy the new Stampin’ Up! watercolor pencils recently. I’m still hesitant, but I thought I’d […]
