Today’s card using the ‘Celebrate Today’ Stamp Set has bright primary colors which I think would work very well for a younger member of the family.
It features window sheet and is based on a card by Connie Stewart of Simply Simple Stamping.

Today’s card using the ‘Celebrate Today’ Stamp Set has lovely, fresh blue and white ~ perfect for a fella, albeit perhaps a younger fella!
The card features a balloon but also has lots of stars, which was inspired by one of the stamps in the set.

The Celebrate Today Stamp Set was introduced in the 2015 Occasion catalog back in January – and it was included in the 2015 – 2016 Annual Catalog that came out in June. I was looking for inspiration for a birthday card and picked up the set….. just to see what ‘vibes’ it would give me………. although the set has a balloon theme it also has a bunch of greetings that would celebrate most life experience occasion…… birthday, baby, wedding and graduation.
While I made the birthday card – which I will share, I also thought it would be a great opportunity to create a week of cards using this set……. so here is #1……..

I just love to do home decor pieces from paper, ink and embellishments and framed art is probably my most favorite thing.
Last year some ladies and I got together to make one of these for another friend on the birth of her first child, a few weeks ago my friend, Jennifer and I made another for one of the other ladies in that little band of happy stampers. This fits a 9 x 9 frame from IKEA, I took the photo before putting it in the frame because of the reflection of the glass…… it looked so good when it was finally assembled.
If you have a special occasion you would like to commemorate – let me know, I will be happy to work with you to design/make a piece of frame art to treasure forever!

Earlier this week a dear friend celebrated a milestone birthday – since she is a card crafter as well it had to be a special card for her. I did a lot of research and found this design on Dawn Griffith’s website – she made wonderful video to explain how it works and I will put in a link a little further down the page.

Two new babies arrived this past week, one the son of some friends and the other the daughter of the folks who live a few houses away in our neighbourhood. This seems to have been a year for babies…… I cannot remember making so many cards in so short a time!

It was my dear Mum’s birthday at the beginning of August, her favorite colors have always been Navy Blue and Cream, so this was the starting point for the card I made for her. As she lives in the UK I needed to ensure that the card would be light enough to mail, without to much bulk from pearls or rhinestones. Those of you who know me also know I love bling on my my cards, this is where glimmer paper comes in very handy!!!

The cotton paper was introduced in the 2015 ~ 2016 Annual Catalog by Stampin’ Up! – it had a lot of really lovely new things – one of which was this cotton paper. I was not sure what to expect when I ordered it but it is always good to try something new……. right?

I made this card for my customers who have an August Birthday but I also needed a card for a friend who had recently lost a family member. Looking at the card design I realized I could make it work for both purposes. There is a little bit of stamping but it relies on the embellishments for impact.

Last week I was in Salt Lake City, Utah, at Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention which is open to demonstrators and is an opportunity for demonstrators from all over the US as well as other countries to get together with Corporate leaders to (amongst other things) recognise achievements, to hear and see new products and ideas.
Convention 2015 is called ‘Inspire, Create, Share’ and one one of the best parts is to swap card ideas with your fellow demonstrators……. here is my swap: Continue reading
