The Olive Branch Stamp Set is one I have had in my collection for a while now – I had some ideas for it but nothing would really gel! Then I decided it would be perfect for sharing some simple coloring techniques so have two cards for todays’ post.
Continue readingEach month I take part in a Scrapbook hop, I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages. October’s hop had an Autumn Colors theme (check it out here) so today’s card is full of autumn theme and rich, rustic colors – with a little bling to make my heart happy.
Continue readingToday’s card has a bunch of techniques ~ heat embossing, dry embossing, die cutting, along with the Double Flap fancy fold. When it was finished I realized is an ultra feminine card with a bit of a vintage feel going on as well – that wasn’t the plan but that is how it turned out. The Abigail Rose decorative paper and Cottage Rose Stamp set seems to lend itself to the shabby chic/ vintage style so when I chose to use it with these colors perhaps it was a subconscious choice!!!
Continue readingI struggle with making card for the fellas in my life – do you have the same problem? In the current annual catalog is a suite of products that can help solve this – the He’s The Man Suite is all about ‘guy type’ things, images, colors and interests – from Bar B Que’ing to Camping to Cars. So today I am focusing on that suite with help from Stampin’ UP! and a couple of my own creations!

Continue readingToday’s card is one I made for my youngest niece on her 20th birthday recently. It features the Designer Tags Dies as well as some heat and cold embossing.
I chose this greeting from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set because I figured it could be used for many different occasions, Best Wishes… for a happy birthday, Best Wishes… for a speeding recovery, Best Wishes …. for your future ~ you get the idea!!
Continue readingHere I go again with my decorative paper! (DSP) this time I am showcasing the Lovely in Linen Designer Series Paper.
I wanted to use the Basic Borders Dies to make a bit of a statement with the Lovely in Linen paper, just as a bit of a change from using just a strip.
Continue readingOver the last few weeks I have been sharing cards made with the Lovely Layers Vellum Pack, today I share the 5th and final design which I have showcased the Natural Prints Dies. As I explained in my first design I am pairing each one with a 2022 – 2024 In-Color – today features Sweet Sorbet.
Continue readingToday I have a bit of a shabby chic/vintage feel to my card, I have used the Split Card Texture Dies to create a stencil then broke out the Blending Brushes and got to work with some Soft Suede Ink. I did not set out to create shabby chic, but the colors then using Distress Gold Specialty Paper kinda turned it into one! Go with the flow I say!

I have used the Cottage Rose Stamp set to make this into a ‘Get Well’ card, although I think the layout and colors would work equally as well for a birthday, thank you or a ‘just because’ kind of card.
