I have shared how I have a tendency to hoard my Designer Series Paper and how I have set a personal goal to use it more often! Today’s card using the beautiful Ornate Garden Specialty Paper in all its glory, taking center stage.
I selected a couple of the colors from the decorative paper for my card base and layers and let the paper do the rest, the only stamping is the greeting!

Continue readingI have made no secret of the fact I just LOVE the Gilded Leafing Embellishment, I am on my second pot of it and this is the 4th technique I have shared with you to inspire you to purchase some and try it for yourself – it is fun to use and gives a fantastic finish that will just WOW whoever gets this card.
I have chosen to use the Oval Occasions Bundle for me greeting with the Oval Occasions Stamp Set and coordinating Double Oval Punch. If you scroll on down you will see 2 different color versions just to inspire you a little further 🙂
Continue readingI chose to use Bumble Bee design from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper for todays card, pulling out 2 of the colors for my card, Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight. To showcase the double-sidedness of the paper I used both sides of the same sheet.
Bumble Bees are attracted to flowers so I built up the flowers and leaves using the Lacy Petal Dies, giving me a really pretty and feminine card.
Continue readingI just wanted to share this cute card I made for my great-nephew’s 10th birthday last month, I used the Darling Donkey’s Stamp Set from Sale-a-bration, sadly this set is no longer available but a great alternative would be the Zany Zebras Stamp Set.
I used the ‘tone-on-tone stampin’ technique for my background and broke out my watercolor pencils to color my cheeky lil’ donkey, he looks so cute just sitting there 🙂
Continue readingWhen the Stampin’ UP! Jan – June 2021 Mini Catalog came out in December there was a new product – Gilded Leafing Embellishment, a beautiful pot containing delicate and wispy pieces of a gold colored foil – which was bright and sparkly and I just love bright and sparkly!
I am working on a series of posts and videos sharing various designs and techniques for using this wonderful product – today shows a piece of gilded card which has been dry embossed …… stunning!
Continue readingI made this card earlier this year, I just love this little guy and chose colors I thought would appeal to the littlies in our lives. It uses a two-step stampin’ technique and to ensure I lined everything up properly I used my Stamparatus.
I think if you change out the greeting it would make a fantastic new baby card or even an anniversary card – the possibilities are endless.
Continue readingAfter the last few weeks of Christmas themed projects it is time for a complete change! I think a lot of folks who have December birthday’s can get a bit overlooked so I think it is time to give you an idea for one. It speaks to me of being more of a masculine card using the Seaside Notions Stamp Set along with Pretty Peacock and Pool Party Card.
Continue readingToday I am letting the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) do all the hard work on this masculine card. I have shared with you before that I do find it a challenge to make card for the fellas so this pack of paper with its huge variety of textured patterns is perfect for these
This is a quick and easy card, using my paper trimmer and a couple of punches, along with the Here’s A Card Stamp Set.
Continue readingSo we did a card for the guys on Saturday – today we turn to a pretty floral one for the lassies in our lives! This is a great card to make as all the hard work is done with the pretty ‘Flower for all Seasons Designer Series Paper.
While I have used a birthday greeting, change it out to create a thank you, thinking of you or best wishes card – it will work for any of these!
