Having a standard recipe for the layers of a card can be a good start in the design process, today’s card follows a recipe I use quite a lot. That is my starting point, then I choose my colors and stamp set (s).
I may have shared in the past……………….. I love punches, they are one of the first things I look for when a new catalog comes out so while the layout is straightforward I have gone a little overboard with my punches. 🙂
Continue readingWell – we have snow here in North Texas and they are forecasting the worse winter weather in over 30 years for this coming week.. EEEKKK!
So I have chosen a spring themed card to share today using the Daisy Lane Stamp Set with the coordinating Daisy and Medium Daisy Punches and the ever bright, cheerful Delightful Daisy card.
Continue readingI cannot remember a time in my life that I have been bored – there has always been something for me to do ranging from reading, weeding my flower beds, baking bread or cakes, sewing on a button, even clearing out a cupboard or drawer or crafting – I think all of these are ‘creative’ in some way so I have really loved the Crafting Forever Stamp set particularly the ‘Do Something Creative Every Day” greeting.
Today’s card uses just this stamp along with the Daisy and Medium Daisy Punches. The Crafting Forever Stamp set is about to retire along with the Gold Faceted Gems I used for the center of my daisy!
On Monday I introduced you to the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Punch Bundle and promised another card made with it, this time a fancy fold called a Slider Pop Up Card.
The decsion for my color choices was made when I chose to use the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper – which uses 5 of the different greens available in the Stampin’ UP! color families.
I truly value my lovely customers who shop for their Stampin’ UP! products with me. I have said it before and will continue to do so – they inspire me to create and share and are so enthusiastic at classes and workshops.
Every month I make a card for everyone who has shopped with me – leaving it blank so they can reuse it themselves – this is the card for my January ladies, using the Friendly Expressions Stamp Set,
Today I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink & Share blog hop again. You will have either arrived from Shirley Merker’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is Anything but a Card ~ I love to do 3D and Home Decor items and have been really looking forward to this one.
My project today is a decorated clipboard with a notepad and pen using the beautiful Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper, ribbon, sequins and glimmer paper!
I am not new to scrap booking or memory-keeping but I do find it hard to find the time to dedicate to it, so I am delighted to be taking part in the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop for its very first HOP!
You will have either arrived from Cheyrl Taylor’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is to use anything that is currently available from Stampin’ UP! ~ and I have designed a vintage theme and chosen to create a 12 x 12 page using Crumb Cake Card and Balmy Blue Card. I want to show you that your card making supplies can be used for creating scrapbook pages and customized embellishments, quickly and easily.
Yesterday I shared Stampin’ UP!’s Bonus Days ~ spend $50 in August to get a $5 coupon to redeem in September – so my thought was – what could you buy for around that amount and be able to create some pretty cards. A little stroll thru the catalog and there it was on page 123 – ‘You Can Make It’ ~ Daisy Delight Cards .
Stampin’ UP! have put together a group of supplies, notecards with envelopes, Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy Punch, 2 full size ink pads and a clear block ~ perfect for creating cards straight out of the box!
When the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog was launched in June there was a new product tucked away on Page 201 ~ Embossing Paste! It was on my first order and I was so excited when it arrived, however I was also excited about the other goodies that arrived in the same box! I set aside the pot of paste and to be honest it went from my mind – especially as Christmas themes started.
I was tidying my workbench (it happens….. rarely but it does happen!) and there was the pot of Embossing Paste waiting patiently for my attention. What fun I have had with this product, as I explored what could be done with it I thought a few video’s would be fun to share. Here is the second of my series where I will share how to Heat Emboss your Embossing Paste! Continue reading
I think I have said on other occasions how much I like autumn colors and the natural feel of burlap and wood and I am always drawn to anything in those colors!
I don’t spend a lot of time on Pinterest – I find that time just disappears when I start clicking around but a few weeks ago I was letting my fingers ‘do the walking’ and came across a wreath from a UK Stampin’ UP! demonstrator which just called my name and I could not resist casing it. As always I had to put my own little spin on it.
