This card came together in a jiffy because my husband needed a card for a friend and colleague that was retiring! I used Smokey Slate card stock for the base and a piece of paper from the December Paper Pumpkin Kit for the layering piece. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set, Designer Tin …
This beautiful stamp set, Jar of Love is my all time favorite. Every single card comes out different in some way every single time ! 🙂 I used the Jar of Love Bundle (saving 10% when purchasing the bundle as opposed to buying the stamp set and framelits separately). And I decided to do …
Hi Friends, I just wanted to remind you to use the monthly host code when you place your order! It is located in the sidebar to the right. Just copy and paste it right onto your order. If you are not sure where to put it, check out the graphic below. By doing this, I …
I needed a birthday card in a hurry, so this was a nice easy design I came up with using the Falling in Love DSP. The stamp set is one of the free stamp sets that are available from the Sale-A-Bration catalog if you make a purchase of $50. It is called Avant Garden. This …
This was a quick and easy card that I practically stole right from the Occasions Catalog! But that’s okay and not against the law! Stampin’ Up! actually encourages people to use any or all of the finished card images for inspiration and continued creativity! 🙂 I used the Balloon Adventure Bundle for this one. This …

This card is not exactly the kind of card you want to make, but when someone asks for something special to send to someone who is hurting from a loss, you do it! This stamp set is called Thoughts and Prayers. I just love the simplicity of the tree image. This card really did not …
This post will highlight two cards that are pretty similar and that I made from the same stamp set. It’s called Penned and Painted. It makes the most beautiful flower images! For the bases on both cards I used Rich Razzleberry card stock and I layered a piece of the Falling in Love DSP for …
This card was super easy to make….once I got all the layers cut! 🙂 With this card, I used a triple layer technique to give the card some dimension and at the same time, it keeps the design cohesive from one layer to the next. Really simple – and I love the end design! Here …
Since I was on a roll with my last card that I made using a much larger size base, I decided to do one more – just for the fun of it! 🙂 So, I started with an 8 x 8 piece of Whisper White, layered on a piece of Marina Mist from the Subtles …
I decided to step out of the box a little today with a completely different sized card! I started with an 8 x 8 Whisper White card stock and scored it at 4″. It is definitely different….and I’m really happy with how it turned out! In case you are wondering…there is no problem making an …
