Oh ……. I just love this card, and it will work for birthday, good luck, thank you, congratulation, get well as well as a ‘just because’ card.
That greeting is from the Kindest Expressions Stamp Set – which has 4 great greetings in a nice big scripty font, perfect for the focal point of the card.
Continue readingYou never know where inspiration will come from – todays’ color combo comes from a classic car I saw in a recent July 4th parade. The car had been beautifully restored and as soon as it drove by I said Petal Pink, Basic Black and Very Vanilla!!! I came straight home and created this card 🙂
Continue readingI have been having a bit of a love affair with vintage style projects over the last 6 months or so and I have shared a few. I think what I like most about this style is that I can use such a lot of easy techniques to achieve the effect I am looking for – and if I get some ink in the wrong place….. it doesn’t matter 🙂
Continue reading‘Hello‘ is such a happy word, it is the start of something new – a conversation, new friend or a new discovery. My card today will work for just any occasion ~ even to send ‘ just because’! I have chosen some bright ‘tropical’ colors to compliment the Tropical Hideaway Background Stamp and added a cute flower to finish it off.
Continue readingAnother success for my personal decorative paper challenge – I love the Stampin’ UP! paper packs – it is practically the first thing I look at when a new catalog comes out – when it arrives I oooo and aaahhh over it then ‘save’ it for the perfect project to come along, which is a long way to say that I hoard it!!!!!!!
My challenge to myself is to use the paper – so today’s card uses a big piece of it!!!!
Continue readingA little change of pace and subject today I broke out the Friends are like Seashells Stamp Set for today’s card ~ it is a gender neutral set and great for a whole host of occasions. I have made this as a thinking of you card, (today would have been my dear Pop’s 93rd birthday and he is in my thoughts) which is a great sentiment if you want to send a ‘just because’ card or it will work for sympathy or for someone who is unwell and you want to give them a little lift to their day.
Continue readingToday I bring you a card where decorative paper takes center stage, some ‘tone-on-tone’ stamping and a little ribbon! 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.
Continue readingAs a Stampin’ UP! demo I get my hands on new products about4 – 6 weeks ahead of their public release, I also get to attend events, virtual and in person, where Stampin’ UP! shares ideas and designs. So it was in June when I was able to get my hands on the Splendid Day Suite of products and was able to make several samples which I have shared in the last few weeks. (link below if you missed them)
Continue readingA few days ago I shared a scrapbook page layout where the theme was Shapes – Check it out here. I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I have taken some of the elements on the page to create this thinking of you card. It very much reminds me of the ‘patchwork’ quilting I used to do many years ago 🙂
Continue readingIn an earlier post I introduced the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set with coordinating Natural Prints Dies. As I was sharing the dies I made a comment about the beautiful wreath die and how I would be making use of it in very short order. So today’s card does just that using one of the new specialty papers – Distressed Gold – which is absolutely stunning.
