Today is a very snowy day up here in New Hampshire. It is a great day for a hot cup of tea and a fun card to do. But it never fails that I have a little bit of time to play with paper (as my son calls my cardmaking hobby) and zero inspiration. I READ MORE

Know someone who should know what a blessing they are in your life?
Yup. Me too…there are so many who are blessings for sure – and then the 3 or 4 who are particular blessings to me. That was the thought that I had when I opened the box from Stampin’ Up! and found the Blessings of Home bundle waiting for me. This new bundle is just beautiful READ MORE
Stenciling backgrounds with Stampin’ Up! decorative masks
I was downstairs one night without any of my usual supplies – and casual company (my kids). We were watching TV, but my hands needed to be doing something. I did have some stencils and ink and brushes – and washi tape. So, it sounded like a good time to play with some backgrounds. My READ MORE
A Simply Succulent Lacy Windowpane Card
What a pretty take on a lacy window! This is a beautiful mosaic card that would adapt to any occasion – birthday, anniversary, thinking of you – or even a sympathy card. Who would have guessed that the lacy Stampin’ Up! Potted Succulent cover die could be a stained glass window look? The best part READ MORE
Blackberry Beauty Mosaic Card
The new Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper is a beautiful suite of papers that are double-sided and rich in color and foiling.

A Dazzling Leaf Card – With Gratitude
I love gold and white – as the last post probably told you. But add a maple leaf design with gold foil – or Stampin’ Up! Be Dazzling designer series paper – and it really catches my eye. I think that this design would be a great thank you note – obviously. But I’m also READ MORE

Wouldn’t these cards be a great gift? (part 3 of 3)
If you like the note card that we made earlier in the week, think about how nice several of them would be as a gift for friends, family members, teachers, coworkers, neighbors. I have even used them for fund raising activities benefiting my kids’ schools and for one of our local long-term care facilities! (Their READ MORE
Want to step our note cards up? (part 2 of 3)
There are two things that can add some lovely details to your card and make it a bit more elegant. First, take a piece of DSP that will match the Polished Pink cardstock. I used one of the sheets from the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2023 In Color 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the READ MORE
