    When Life Gives You Lemons, Make a Card!

    Today I had to share with you this fun card I received as a swap card at OnStage.  One of the things I love to do at Stampin’ Up events is swap.  You get such great ideas, especially with stamp sets and accessories you might not have yet.  I’m still trying to decide if I…

  • Sending Best Fishes with the Jar of Love Stamp Set

    I’m back and sharing another card that we made at last week’s card class.  This was another one where I had fun using some of my Holiday catalog purchases for a NON-Holiday card.  Can you spot a few of them? It was also a chance for me to play more with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. …

  • Fun with Balloons Birthday Card using Balloon Celebrations

    One of the things I love to do with my team is participate in a card swap each time a new catalog comes out.  With this awesome Occasions catalog that Stampin’ Up released in January, I was especially excited to see what everyone would create.  For my card, I was inspired to use the Balloon…

  • Using up scraps with Perfectly Artistic Paper

    For the next few days, I’ll be featuring the Perfectly Artistic designer paper – one of the free with a $50 purchase options from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  See, I’ve been holding on to this paper since it came out, but something about knowing it was retiring in a few days (it is only available until…

  • Amazing Birthday Gold & Vellum Wow Card

    So, you see… I love cards with Vellum on them.  The slightly translucent cardstock adds a touch of elegance to pretty much anything you make with it.  Well, when they came out with Foiled Vellum, I thought it was super pretty, but sometimes I struggle with what to do with it.  So when I saw…

  • Butterfly Basics Bokeh CASE–a Pretty Purple Card!

  • Sharing Thanksgiving Memories with the Happiness Is Project Life Kit

  • Speedy Scrapbooking with Seasonally Scattered

    I realized this weekend that I haven’t done traditional scrapbooking in what feels like a long time.  And I really do miss it!  So, after I get all caught up with the samples for my next few events, I will be for sure doing more scrapping.  And I may just have to plan a cropping…
