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
Well, the Christmas bug has bitten me for sure…and this elegant card is so lovely and soft. I love the pale greens and beautiful gold elements together. There are some easy touches to this design too that offer texture and depth as well. The paper cuts are fairly simple too: Pcs Measurements Description Stampin’ Up 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
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
A hello greeting that is Full of Love
I love layered cards. I particularly love crisp colors on crisp layers – and we have a bunch of potentials with our current In Colors. Today’s card tries to take advantage of those full combinations with this Full of Love card and, yes, well…it is a little summery. But who doesn’t need a brightly colored READ MORE
A Canopy of Soft Seedlings
I just cannot get enough of the Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings stamp set. This is not a bundle – just a stamp set. But it is a wonderful image on its own, without a coordinating die set. And this card takes very few materials – so it is a great candidate for a new stamper! READ MORE
