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
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
Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly DSP!!
I love red and white cards almost as much as I like tone-on-tone cards! And when Stampin’ Up! comes up with a Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack like Boughs of Holly, the cards are virtually done for you…at least that’s what you will find with this one! The paper cuts are easy and so is READ MORE
Every tree should be Decorated with Happiness

So Grateful for these beautiful Soft Seedlings
As I promised, this card is a direct result of the inspiration from the Cottage Wreath card that I CAS’d from Amy Koenders a few days ago! Now that I have transitioned to autumn, I keep repeating those beautiful leaf images from the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings on so many of the cards that I READ MORE
A Rustic Harvest Easel Display…
It seems like Stampin’ Up! is always offering at least one “border print” in each season’s Designer Series Paper collection. For this fall’s Rustic Harvest, there is a beautiful confluence of chrysanthemums that are printed on a black background. (Is that like a “bevy of beauties”?) They are gorgeous – and they make a beautiful READ MORE
Poinsettias Peeking out in a Split Diagonal Christmas Card
As I have said in the past, I love playing with all the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Designer Series papers – and we have some gorgeous Christmas and other winter holiday papers this year from last year’s carryover as well as the current Mini Catalog – July – December 2022. This card design is quick and READ MORE
Are you thinking about making some card sets for gifts this year?
When my kids were young – and even now – I want to create gifts for some of my special friends. There is a call for thank you notes – especially in professional settings. It is great to have a beautiful card in your top desk drawer that you can write a quick note after READ MORE
A Whirl of Leaf Fall
I love tone-on-tone cards, although I usually tend toward the blues and grays. Instead, I decided to be inspired by Mary Fish at Stampin’ Pretty with her blog post of a few months ago. (I was absolutely NOT ready for fall at that point…) This pretty card uses Stampin’ Up! Forever Fern as well as READ MORE
