What a great title! As I explain in my video, today’s card has a color combination inspired by a bird we saw during a recent visit to the Dallas World Aquarium, my friend Elly and I watched the bird and recognized each of the colors in terms of the Stampin’ UP! color families.
Well I just had to have a go – so here is the result
Continue readingThe leaves have finally dropped from the trees in our garden, I have to say this year they fell a lot later than usual and we had some magnificent colors because of this. Like the leaves, some of our products are about to go away, one of them is the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set – so I thought I would give it one more outing, with a simple but very impressive coloring technique. (Gosh – I sound a little poetic today!)

I have said on many occasions that I struggle with cards for the fellas in my life…….. so imagine my delight when Stampin’ UP! introduced a new kit at our recent demonstrator get together called OnStage! The kit contains everything you need to make 8 cards, including envelopes, ink spot, clear block, embellishments, adhesives and an exclusive stamp set. Today I am sharing one of the two cards I made with the Timeless Greetings Kit ( I already posted one off before I could take a picture of it 🙂 )
If you are looking for a great Christmas gift for a friend or family member then this is one for you.

The video explains how to create this technique as well as how to color up ribbon to match our color scheme ~ enjoy

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 readingA few weeks ago I shared a fancy fold card featuring the Sending Smiles Stamp Set with a combination of Mango Melody and Pear Pizzazz card and ink (see links below). I think I said at the time how much it appealed to me …. so much so I have used both again today but in a quick and easy card
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 readingGreetings are great for your cards, we can use punches and dies that cut labels, but how about a die that will ‘fussy cut’ your greeting? That is exactly what the Sentiment Silhouette Dies will do when paired with the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set!
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.
