Paper crafting happiness!
I have a friend that loves to request cards from me for his wife. Honestly, his memory impresses me – I have a whole craft room of supplies that I am always playing in and I’m often in there the night before an occasion creating a card because…I forgot….). For this year’s Valentine card, IContinue reading “Rainbow Valentine’s Wiper Card”

I think my favorite part of the Sweet Talk suite collection is the Designer Series Paper – it has traditional ‘Valentine’s’ colors AND fun pops of other colors you wouldn’t expect. I made the DSP the focal point of this card. To start, I scored a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Thick BasicContinue reading “Sweet Talk Valentine’s Card”
Stampin’ Up! will be releasing a new product collection – the All Together collection. It consists of a stamp set, coordinating dies, a 6″ x 6″ pack of Designer Series Paper, and skin tone Stampin’ Blends. I’ve included the images of the products below. I love the Stampin’ Blends in the new colors – andContinue reading “All Together Collection – Sneak Peek”
Stampin’ Up! has refreshed their Clearance Rack and announced their “Last Chance” list (items from the July-December Mini Catalog that will not be carrying over into the new Annual catalog). Here are a few of my favorite offerings from the Clearance Rack (you can click on the Clearance Rack image below to see everything onContinue reading “Savings in December”
Let’s take it nice and easy for this Friday! A layer of DSP and a layer of cardstock and a snowflake cut in half – your card is done. I used some of the retired Sale-A-Bration paper for this card, but any Real Red containing DSP will do – I’ve included some examples available inContinue reading “Holly Jolly Wishes Card”
Something I almost always overlook in Stampin’ Up! catalogs are the Memories & More card packs. Why? I don’t scrapbook and for some reason, I have it stuck in my head that you can only use the contents for making scrapbook pages. Well, I’m here to tell you (and hopefully myself) that this simply isn’tContinue reading “Gingerbread and Peppermint Memories & More Card Pack”
Where did October go?!?!? I found myself with a very big to-do list this past weekend – a spooky to-do list. I had to make treat holders for co-worker’s children; cards (greeting and the bingo variety) for my oldest son’s class, and the dozen or so cards needed for my family and friends. Fortunately, IContinue reading “Halloween Galore”
I had an awesome opportunity this weekend to attend a retreat run by demonstrator Michelle Halleen. It was a great day – full of crafting, information, and fun. It’s been quite a while since such a number of us have been able to gather like this. With retreats and gathering almost inevitably comes the chanceContinue reading “More Bay Window Birthdays”
Another card with the Painted Christmas suite – look at those detailed pine cones and needles! To make this card, you’ll need: Thick Basic White cardbase: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ along the long side Evening Evergreen card stock: 4″ x 5 1/4″ Soft Succulent card stock: 4″ x 5 1/4″Continue reading “Christmas to Remember Card”
October is fully here so I have to get a jump on my Halloween cards (I’ve been spending all my time, it seems, using the great holiday products from the new mini catalog.) Because these pumpkins, ghosts, skull, and kitty cats are just too cute – I had to distress the paper a little bitContinue reading “Hey Boo! Cute Halloween Card”
