Is it starting to feel like spring where you live? The daffodils are blooming away in our yard here in southern PA, but we're just waiting, expecting a March snow to come since we've had a very mild winter. We're happy to enjoy the pretty flowers while we wait, though! My card today doesn't have daffodils, but it has Pansies which still make me think of warmer days! We used the Pansy Patch stamp set for this card. This set has been around for a little while so you have probably seen it before, but just in case, check it out. Continue reading
Hand-Penned Petals Congrats Card
I'm woefully behind with blog posts again, aren't I? Time just slips through your fingers sometimes, doesn't it? I'll keep it short and sweet today, but I did want to get something posted. Continue reading
Greatest Journey & Enjoy the Jounrey
Yesterday I shared some cards using the Greatest Journey stamp set and Enjoy the Journey DSP. Did you get the feeling those items would only work for "guy cards"? It's easy to get in that mindset, but don't get stuck there! Although I feel like the dies lend themselves toward more masculine images, the stamp set really isn't masculine. Check it out. Continue reading
Beautifully Happy & Dandy Designs DSP
I have two different Sale-A-Bration freebies to share with you today! I used both on a card that has been very well liked by those who have made it! I think it is easy for some to overlook both of these freebies, simply because they each require a $100 purchase and it's easy to pay more attention to the $50 freebies. Check these out: Continue reading
Scenic Garden Hostess Stamp Set
Linda C. hosted a great party last week and she will be receiving the Scenic Garden stamp set for free with her order and all her other hostess rewards! Yay! Don't you love free?! The Scenic Garden is free for those who host a party (or place a customer order) of at least $300 this month during Sale-A-Bration! Have you seen the set? Continue reading
Enjoy the Journey DSP for Free!
Did you know Stampin' Up! added some additional free Sale-A-Bration items? One of those items is the Enjoy the Journey 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper which you can choose for free with a $50 purchase. Now that is something to celebrate! I'm already on pack two of that designer paper because it's so great! I think this is the best pack of DSP Stampin' Up! has ever put out when it comes to making guy cards! Check it out. Continue reading
On the Ocean Handmade Card
To be honest, I'm not quite sure why the One the Ocean stamp set caught my eye, but it did. May it was the water stamp, I do like the swirls in that particular stamp! Maybe it was the water and boat dies that coordinate with the set. Who knows! In any case, I did buy the bundle and I have had opportunity to create one card with it so far which I thought I would share it with you. I created this card as an example of a new fancy fold I was sharing with my Technique Club earlier in the month. Continue reading
Nested Friends Thank You
For some reason the bird stamp sets always seem to catch my attention. I'm not sure why. I'm not a bird watcher and I can't name birds other than a few basic kinds, but I do seem to like decorating with them and making cards with them. All that to say, of course the Nested Friends stamp set caught my attention in the mini catalog. I particularly like the fact that there are dies to cut out a nice nest! Here is a card we made with the Nested Friends stamp set in the Fancy Folds Class recently. Continue reading
Hoot Hoot You’re so Cute!
Have you noticed the Adorable Owls which are free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration? Those little guys are pretty cute, aren't they? I need to spend some more time with them. Things like taxes have been taking up some of my creative time lately. Blah! I did make this one card which is quite simple and easy to make. Continue reading
Greatest Journey Suite from Stampin’ Up!
The Greatest Journey stamp set is a fun one, but when you add in the coordinating dies it gets so much better! The stamp set didn't particularly strike my fancy at first until I saw the dies. The dies add so many more options to this set! You can check out the entire Greatest Journey Suite on pages 58-59 of the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. I've just posted a picture of the stamp set and dies below for you. Continue reading
Playing in the Rain Bunny Card
The Playing in the Rain stamp set, and really the entire Rain or Shine Suite, caught my eye from the first time I looked through the mini catalog. The bunny, fox, and turtle are super cute! Here's a simple card with the bunny for you today. Continue reading
Taco Fiesta Handmade Card
I haven't posted a project in forever, I know. Rather than making excuses, let me get right to showing you something new! I have two cards to share with you which were made with the new Taco Fiesta stamp set which can be found on page 48 of the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. What a cute set! Have you noticed it? Honestly it can be easy to overlook the sets that don't have an entire suite of coordinating products like the dies and Designer Series Paper, but don't overlook this one, especially if you like tacos! (I happen to be huge fan of Mexican food myself!) Continue reading
