If you feel like I have already written about this card design, I have! I love that Stampin’ Up! will include border prints at least once in almost every catalog set of Designer Series Papers. I wrote this design up on November 9, 2022 with the Rustic Harvest border print. And now, the Dainty Flowers READ MORE

Dainty Flowers for a Treasured Friend
Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration is going on now – or at least as of the time this post was published. I seldom just love everything in the Sale-a-bration flyer – or even the new mini catalogs. But both of these are exceptions to my usual rule! Don’t get me wrong: I come to love a lot READ MORE
Be my Valentine with a Pretty Medallion
Although it is hard to believe that I have transitioned away from Christmas and on to Valentine’s Day, voila!! I cannot believe it either… But here is the confession…this is a lucky accident that turned into a process. I first saw this card idea on June Dunn Pinterest post and it was just beautiful.

Say Happy New Year with a Twist and Pop!
I have always loved these fancy fold cards and recipients really seem to get a kick out of them too! My family and I spent the Christmas holiday in Las Vegas enjoying all the shows and the beautiful resorts – and celebrated my son’s 30th birthday! I made one of these cards for his birthday READ MORE
A Cute Thank You Note from a Christmas Scottie
I love to have themed thank you notes when it is about a particular season – and Christmas gift thank you are generally needed in good supply. However, most people are going to get their notes probably longer after the season than I might like. So, I often feel that a traditional Christmas theme is READ MORE
Sometimes enough is enough with the traditional Christmas colors!
There was a time when I decorated in forest green and Christmas red. We had a pre-1750 farmhouse in Rhode Island and my husband created the look of a raised panel wall on the loft. It was gorgeous! Because of the vintage and the “churchy” look, I used the two Christmas colors for the overall READ MORE
In a dog-eat-dog world, there’s nothing like having a Christmas Scottie!
All of us have a style that emerges as we pick out stamps and dies for our collection. I have found that I have a hundred versions of various flowers…and that realization as I was organizing one day made me realize that I needed to branch out. My friend, Ro, is a critter person – READ MORE
The most elegant, soft colors can deliver the Brightest Glow
I have loved the Texture Chic DSP since the mini catalog first came out. It has so many possibilities – including a Christmas card, believe it or not! I love the soft greens and pinks together. But even this design could be adapted for a winter wedding or a winter birthday or another occasion that READ MORE
Let’s make gift card holders that really fit!!
I don’t know about you – but I suspect that I will be running through the pharmacy or the market to pick up last-minute gift cards as I dash around getting ready for the holiday. Have you noticed that all the gift card holders are made for nothing BUT the credit card-sized ones? There is READ MORE
Origami Christmas Tree Cards using ANY of the Christmas Designer Series Papers!
I always try to have a carry-around-able project for those times that I just cannot do another decluttering project or grade any more student papers and discussions. Sometimes it is just nice to do “nothing” – but “nothing” makes my hands nervous… So, I try to have little projects that I convince myself relate to READ MORE
