Easy on Monday morning….(sung as Lionel Richie). Here’s a quick sketch for you all to have fun with. This can be taken is so many different directions – I can’t wait to see what you come up with -please share! Drop you photos in the comments or post on social media with the tag #cardnmumsketches….
Another card using the Nests of Winter Suite Collection. Here are the measurments: I call this technique the Reverse Spotlight. Have you made a card that has a black and white background and then you add color to a part of it – so it jumps out? This is sort of the reverse. I took…
Here is another card I made with the Nests of Winter Suite Collection. Here are measurements of the paper that I used: I used two fun techniques. One I learned from Jessica Cruz de Urrutia. After cutting out the frame piece on this Mossy Meadow panel, you rotate the negative piece (the middle piece that…
We Stampin’ Up! demonstrators saw the Nests of Winter Suite Collection during the Creativity Now event in June (I love sneak peeks!) We made a few projects using these products and it was a lot of fun. This suite became available to everyone when the new mini catalog launched at the beginning of September –…
On Wednesday, I used a technique called the ‘tile’ technique. Today, I am almost literally making tiles out of a square of embossed Old Olive card stock. I took a 3” x 3” piece and ran it through the Painted Trees Embossing Folder. I then carefully cut this piece into 9 one-inch squares. I placed…

I have always wanted to try this technique – and like so many techniques that catch my eye, I ignored it for a while. I gave it a try using the stamp sets from the Season of Elegance Suite Collection; Peaceful Evergreens (a gorgeous set of images) and Peaceful Season (sentiments to help celebrate the…
Who doesn’t love a shaker card? I haven’t met anyone that has admitted it – haha! I made this card using the Snowy Scenes Suite Collection. The dies from this set will help you cut out shapes to make snow globes – and they coordinate great with the DSP from the Suite. I started this…
Rectangles, patterns, circles, and banners – a quick layout that you can use to whip up a card. Here is one that I made using the Playful Ghosts stamp set.
Here is another project I made using the Snowy Scenes Suite Collection. I really like Poppy Parade and Petal Pink together. Here are the measurements of the paper: I adhered the larger paper panels slightly askew on the card base. I then cut out some shapes from Basic White and Poppy Parade using the Countryside…
