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 […]
Stampin' Up! dies
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 […]

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 […]
Kid’s Birthday Bonanza Triple-fold cards
I learned another way to use Stampin’ Up! wonderful DSP, rather than hoard them. Instead of the standard cardstock card base, use your favorite DSP! All you need is a piece of 5-1/2″ x 12″ piece of your favorite DSP, a few scraps of matching cardstock colors and a stamp set. You can also use […]
More For the Love of Felt flower cards
I had a lot of fun designing my swap card using the retired For the Love of Felt kit. I still had lots of leftover pieces and card bases, so back to the creation process. I made three more cards with the other card bases. This first one I used the entire card base from […]
