  • Some simple silhouettes

    For the first time, Stampin’ Up!  has offered a 15% discount on brand new stamps when they first came out.  One of the stamps on sale was Pocket Silhouettes and when I saw them, I thought they would be so versatile and I had to take advantage of the sale.  Since it was one of the…

  • Saving another card

    So, I had a card that I really wanted to case that used many of the same elements as my card below.  However, that card was pink and black and I’ve found that most of the examples I’ve been drawn to lately are pink and brown or black.  So, I thought that I would try…

  • Color blocked Birthday Card

    I have seen a number of really cool cards that use color blocking for their backgrounds.  I’ve been wanted to try to create one myself for a while but it wasn’t until I got concentrated card making time that I got to try it out.  These layouts are great for using up scraps and are super…

  • My Mother-in-law’s first card

    After arriving at my MIL’s house, one night we were talking about how I had become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.  She was curious about stamping and card making but didn’t know what to do, so I helped her design and put together her first card.  It is a simple card but looks nice in real…

  • I’m back!

    Sorry for the long lag in writing!  This whole cross-country move thing has been much more complicated than I thought!  🙂  My whole house has been packed up and in a truck for the last week, and my DH, myself, and our 3 cats have been staying at my MIL’s house until it was time…

  • My new goodies have arrived!

    My new order is in and boy am I excited.  Sadly, it showed up just before the packers and movers showed up at my house so I only really had time to mount my stamps and gawk at all the goodies before most of it went away.  However, I was smart and kept aside a…

  • An actual Get Well card

    After a very busy evening (yay!  sold our couch!) I forced myself to take some time for stamping.  I’ve wanted to every night and since I promised earlier, I figured I had to make it happen. 🙂  Tonight I tried to go for something that was a bit on the simpler side and at the same…

  • Sorry for the quiet

    Hi all, Just wanted to post a quick note to say sorry for the delay in posts.  Sorting our house in anticipation of our move has taken longer than I thought and has taken up my last few nights.  However, check back this evening…I promise to post new card ideas!

  • Retired stamp sets for sale

    I haven’t been able to do much stamping this weekend as my hubby and I have been sorting most of our house in preparation for our move to Portland.  While going through my office, I realized just how many retired stamp sets I have and decided that I ought to clear out some of the old to…

  • The get well card that wasn’t

    Last weekend my grandma had surgery on her foot and has been a lot less mobile and in a lot more pain than she expected.  I wanted to start sending her cards to try to cheer her up while she recovered and had a great idea for a card using the new Sock Monkey stamp…
