Fun & Fast Notes Thank You Card
After 5 fun days, my mom just left town last night. We spent pretty much every night crafting – trying new techniques, making projects, and making cards. So, I didn’t have much time to post to my blog (sorry!) but I did come away with a few neat things to show you! Over the next…
Getting Punchy
Last night I started playing with my word window punch some more and one of the ideas I had was to create a flower using punches. This quickly turned into a card challenge to myself to see if I could make an interesting card that was almost entirely based on punches instead of stamps. It…
Christmas cards from a stamp-a-stack class
This weekend I went to Bellingham, WA to visit my mom and attend her Christmas card stamp-a-stack. We made 3 cards each of four different designs using some of the new holiday stamps from Stampin’ Up! It ended up being a mother/daughter event with two other mother/daughter pairs plus a couple more ladies joining us. It was…

Coming soon – samples for the World Cardmaking Day event
So, I’ve been spending the day stamping and cardmaking in honor of World Cardmaking Day. I’m visiting with my mom today for her Christmas Stamp-a-Stack.

Another early Christmas card
Here is another Christmas card I put together trying to use just a few pieces. The layout is not too complex but I just love how it turned out. The hardest thing about this card was making the bell gold and still have the bell’s ribbon red. I didn’t have a gold marker, so I…

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…
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…
