Goodness – what a title! I wanted to catch your imagination so that you would check out today’s card! It is one of my favorite fun folds – it is quick and easy to make but has a WOW factor when the recipient takes it out of the envelope.
Continue readingTypically I would be using Stars and Stripes for my July 4th themed card, however I have shifted over to my favorite florals with the Inked and Tiled Stamp Set – partly because one of the stamps looks a bit like a firework starburst; and partly because this has become one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog……….. so far!
Continue readingSometimes we need a sympathy card, we hope it is not too often but nevertheless those days do arrive. Today I have an easy card to put together – a little dry embossing, a little stamping, some peaceful butterflies and a heartfelt message.
Continue readingDuring a recent class one of my ladies showed me a picture of a quilt block card on her phone and requested we could do one. I used a recent You Tube live to work thru some ideas, creating a card featuring the Log Cabin quilt block…………… oh and there is a video 🙂
Continue readingYou are probably aware that when a new SU annual catalog is launched we get 5 new ‘in-colors’ that are with us for two years. This years colors are rich, earthy tones and today’s card features two of them.
I showcased this new stamp set and coordinating dies ~ Timeless Arrangement ~ a few days ago, I knew then I would l be using a lots as it has some pretty floral images and a boatload of greetings in lovely fonts – my kinda stamp set!!!

This is one of the techniques I shared with my monthly class at the end of March, although most the products I used have now retired 😦 – the technique will work for any papers, stamps and dies that you have in your stash!
