  • Heart Pressed and Filled with Love

    Today I thought I’d share with you one my first cards using the new Heart Pressed letterpress plate.  Most of the other letterpress dies are big, bold patterns that often are the focal point, so it was fun to play with a more subtle pattern. I used the Heart Pressed die as a textured patterned…

  • Birthday Butterflies and a Get Well Card

    Alright, so last time I shared with you the Love card we made at my card night.  So, today I wanted to share the other two cards we made that night.  Both are inspired by cards I found in an old Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  Of course they turned out pretty different, and…

  • Glittery Filled with Love Card

    Last night was another fun card night with the gals of my meetup group.  We made three cards and I thought I would share today one of the cards we did.  I knew I wanted to showcase the Filled with Love set and the Bitty Buttons you can get free with the bundle and so…

  • Trying Out The Latest Embossing Folder–Framed Tulips!

    I’ve seen the different ways some folks have rigged their embossing folders to allow for texture around the edge of their card with a spotlight in the center.  It usually looks really cool and so I was excited to see a new embossing folder in the Occasion mini that takes all the work out of…

  • New Card for a New Mini

    Friday night was my preview party for the new occasion mini.  I had samples of projects made using the new stamps and accessories from the Occasion mini as well as treats, a door prize, and this make and take card.  It gave everyone a chance to play with some of the new designer series papers,…

  • The Occasion Mini is here

    Have you had a chance to check out the Occasion Mini catalog yet?  This year I think they’ve done a great job of offering a wide range of stamps and accessories – from vintage to modern, masculine to sewing notions, plus NEW PUNCHES!!  I love punches, especially when they match stamp sets, so it was…

  • Forest Friends Shoebox Swap

    Sorry for getting behind on my blog posting!  I started working on some Christmas presents that involved printing photos from this past year…which got me started pulling photos off of my camera, video camera, cell phone, husband’s cell phone, etc…and then I needed to organize those photos…you get the idea. But the nice thing about…

  • A Big Button Petal Pizzazz

    This month’s make & take project had me focused on using the Big Designer Buttons from the holiday mini.  I didn’t know what else I wanted to do with a card, but I knew I wanted to use my buttons. So, after digging through my stamp sets, I ended up finding my Petal Pizazz set…

  • Would You Guess This Was a Birthday Card?

    Usually having stamps come in a set is a good thing because you know you have a variety of images and words that will coordinate and can give you a number of design options or even project options to work with.  However, in this case, I learned that it can also influence you, the stamper,…

  • A CASE’d Hello from Conventions Past

    Today I thought I’d share a card that is a direct CASE of a card we made at Convention in 2009.  I was asked yesterday if I came up with my project designs on my own or find them from somewhere else.  The answer is both.  And often I look at projects I’ve created in…

  • Happy Hannukah Card

    I know I’m running a couple days behind since Hannukah started on the 1st, but I created this card on the first… does that count?    I made this card using scraps and one of my favorite retired sets – Hebrew Holidays. It is also hard to see, but I used Crystal Effects on the…
