Today’s card was inspired by one of the designs in March’s Paper Pumpkin kit which has a lovely vintage theme going on. So I have chosen to use Fresh Fig and Crumb Cake with the Graceful Garden Stamp set and lots of sponging.
One of the greetings in the stamp set says ‘for you’ I think this is such a simple message that can be used for just about any occasion, birthday, thank you, anniversay, sympathy……. and so on.
Continuing with the ‘Flip-over’ calendar using the Tolsby picture frame from IKEA. that I made for my small, but precious team of Stampin’ UP! demonstrators Christmas gift .
After I finished each of the months I realized that the design could equally be used as a card front, so each can do double duty!
If you missed the first months you can find January thru March here and April through June here

We have a brand new Occasions catalog but we can still get the Painted Harvest Stamp Set and that really cute Cat Punch, both of which I used to create this card. I used the one of the greetings from the stamp set but it would make a perfect birthday card for a child I think. This card also uses a couple of products from my stash that get overlooked, the Starburst Punch and the Wood Texture DSP Stack.

I just love hedgehogs – they remind me of my childhood when we would find them in the garden and put out bread soaked in milk! Well, we all now know that this is NOT good for them at all and a little dog or cat food would have been far more suitable!
Another thing I love at the moment is the Painted Harvest Stamp set – it is so versatile it even makes hedgehogs! Continue reading
Sympathy cards are the one type of card that we would really not have to make but they are probably the ones that bring the most comfort to the recipient ~ they know someone is thinking of them at a difficult time in their life.
The Thoughts and Prayers stamp set is a one to have in your stash, not only is it suitable for bereavement it also has some lovely sentiments for get well and thinking of you…. and what can I say about the two images – one the most elegant tree and the other a lovely ‘swooshy’ flowery branch – which I have used on an anniversary card before.

Have been a little bit quiet over the last few days, I had a Christmas/Holiday card Stamp Camp on Friday and Saturday – I spent most of Thursday preparing for it which included tying a bunch of ribbon bows!…. and completely forgot to write something for my blog.

Tax season is over, I’m back at my work bench and normal service is about to resume!!!!!
I apologize for not posting very much in the last 5 – 6 weeks, been very busy helping the nation file their taxes ( did not actually get ours filed until late on the night of the 14th ~ bit too close for my liking, prefer to get them done by mid-March!)
But while I have not had time to post I have had some time to make and have some things to share with you over the coming days………………
You cannot always get notice of the need for a card, so having some ‘cards to hand’ is always a good thing. We had a bereavement in my husband’s family, as we live so far away, we will not be able to attend the services but at least we can let them know we are thinking of them.
Last July’s stamp set of the month was Flowering Flourishes and I made a series of cards which did not have any sentiment so could be used for most any occasion.
