Monthly cards to list of recipients
I bought three different kinds of Designers Series Paper, but I love Rings Of Love the best for Thanksgiving cards! It was one of the free papers included in this Autumn’s Sale-a-bration and I’m so glad that I snagged it! Just look at how lovely this page is! Whimsical, bright, every color you can hope…
This weekend while you’re looking through the catalog and wondering how to make some of the samples, I want you to have the Sample Recipes. Lots of pages, so you can CLICK HERE and save it to your hard drive, or print it out. All the way back on pages 68-69 there is a darling…
I talk about using DistINKtive Stamp Sets all the time and thought I would show a little Soft Seedlings Sneak Peek from the upcoming Holiday catalog from Stampin’ Up! This particular kind of stamp set is best as red rubber, thought there are others available. Soft Seedlings allows you to simply ink up and go….

Can you ever really have enough flower stamps? I think not! This is an interesting bundle coming in the new Annual Catalog next week. It’s actually a Suite, called Hues of Happiness. The stamp set (photopolymer) and die bundle is enough on its own, but wait till you see the Designer Series Paper and gems…
I rarely participate in sketches because I am not in the right place at the right time. In fact, I wasn’t able to photograph this card in time to participate AGAIN, but I enjoyed making it with my Coffee + a Card group last week. I used the opportunity to start using up the Designer…
Last week I scheduled time to make cards by the dozen, and I made it happen! Nothing in life got in the way, and I finished up by taking 11 of them to the post office right after their lunch closure! The Flowering Rain Boots bundle (yep! there are dies!) plus the Cloud punch made…
How do you make a Clean and Simple card? You find the color combination that looks pretty enough you don’t have to use Designer Series Paper, ribbon, rhinestones, or spend two hours making a fun fold card. Let’s make this easy like Sunday morning. Petal Pink Flirty Flamingo Blushing Bride Granny Apple Green I started…
