I chose to use the Meant to Be Stamp set today, it has such pretty, decorative hearts allowing me to randomly stamp to create my card front.

Hello Cupcake ~ Sale-a-bration

Cupcakes are the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, they are becoming more popular than the traditional birthday cake.  I am sharing the card I made for our eldest grand-daughter’s birthday  so I have chosen shades of pink but it would work perfectly well with blues, purples, yellows or reds…………. whatever color theme works for you.

I made this card using one of the free Sale-a-bration stamp sets, Hello Cupcake    I think we all love to get something for FREE and from January 3rd thru March 31st Stampin’ UP! are offering some really beautiful products that you can get for FREE with each $50 you spend on Stampin’ UP! product….. read on for more information 🙂

Soft Sayings Card Kit

I usually share cards that I have created from scratch, but there are times I need a card quickly and no time to work thru a design, choose my colors and embellishments – so that is where an all inclusive card kit comes in so very handy.

The Soft Sayings Kit contains the supplies for 20 cards ~ 2 each of 10 designs, an exclusive stamp set, clear block for those stamps and an ink spot for stamping your cards.  I have made one of each size to share with you but will leave making up the others until I need them and choose the greeting to meet the need at the time.

This kit would also make a great gift for a friend or family member who would like some handmade cards to send but may not have the room to be able to create from scratch, and the kit come ready gift packaged in its own decorated box!

Embossing Lovely as A Tree ~ Video Tutorial

I am not really sure what to call this technique and I have seen it used in various places, but is produces such a pretty effect and is really quite easy to do, as I show in the video.

I chose to use the Lovely as a Tree Stamp Set along with the Woodland Embossing folder.  As this stamp set does not have any greetings I used one from the Eastern Beauty Stamp Set and created a thank you card, but it would work as a really great card for the fellas in our lives or maybe a Christmas card simply by changing the greeting.
