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
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
Just in CAS you think that you’ve seen this Cottage Wreath before…
You have!!! I have shamelessly CAS’d this pretty card from Amy Koenders from Stamp with Amy! I just loved the card because of its color scheme as well as the wreath design. But she also inspired me to use the Gingham Cottage DSP, which I honestly was not a fan of. (They can’t all be READ MORE
Are you thinking about making some card sets for gifts this year?

Unpainted Poppies
I was so happy to see that the Stampin’ Up! Painted Poppies stamp and Poppy Moment dies were not retired for the May 2022 Annual Catalog. These are beautiful staples in the investment collection for us card makers! For today’s card, I used the Poppy Moments Dies to create a Mossy Meadow and Basic White READ MORE
Remember the Pepsi Challenge? Well, how about the foiling challenge?
Do you remember the Pepsi Challenge decades ago? They would blindfold participants and offer them samples of both Pepsi and Coke to see if they could tell them apart. Well, I repeat this challenge with lots of things in my life – the McDonalds/Burger King Chocolate milkshake challenge, the “which house to buy now” challenge READ MORE
