Lovely Laurel Vellum ~ Stampin’ Up!

Leave a comment

I do love flowers – I grow them in my garden, in the past I have made them out of flowerpaste (gumpaste) and made them from paper.

I have to be very cautious about choosing stamp sets out of the catalog ~ my eyes are always drawn to the flower sets to the exclusion of others, great for me but not everyone has the same passion as me!  The other day I found out just how cautious I had been, when I wanted to create a card with some flowers on it – I could not find a stamp set on my shelf with a flower in it!!!

Wondering how to live a more creative life? Do these questions come to mind?:

  • I want a creative escape but I don’t have a lot of time.
  • I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to papercrafting, but I want to try it.
  • I love to create but I don’t always feel creative.
  • I need some fresh project ideas.
  • How can I craft when I don’t have all the “crafting stuff” I need?

The answer ~ Join Paper Pumpkin! First-time subscribers get June, July, and August kits at 25% off.

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up! just celebrated its 3rd birthday and I have been a subscriber since DAY 1.  Why, you ask, would I subscribe to a monthly kit when I have stamp sets,  tools and supplies  to create my own?  ……………. read on…….

It is a while since I last posted news on my blog.  Those of you who know me or have been following me for a while know that I work for one of the biggest retail tax preparation services in the US – and Jan 1st thru April 18th this year I have been helping the nation prepare and file their 2015 tax returns!!!

While I had time to write posts I did not have time to make anything to share with you on a regular basis – but now I am back with some cards and other paper projects to share……. I hope you enjoy them – feel free to comment.

I hope you enjoyed my week of  valentine projects, I certainly enjoyed sharing them with you – if you have a moment please leave me a comment ~ let me know you are out there !!!!!

Valentine’s Week # 6

Leave a comment

My 6th Valentine project is a card, and this time an unexpected stamp set ~ Sheltering Tree’ from the Occasions catalog.  This is a very versatile set and I shall be featuring it in some of my classes in the coming months.  The colors, once again, are traditional for valentine day but it would look equally as good in any of the other color combinations I have shared in the last few days.

I  hope you are enjoying these valentine projects – please leave me a comment!
