  • 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.  We made 4 different card styles (3 each) and they were pretty cute.  I also made a couple samples for the World Cardmaking Day open house tomorrow.  I’ll be posting…

  • 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…

  • Early holiday greetings

    Next month I will be starting my Christmas card stack classes where you can add a personal touch to your holiday greetings by making your own christmas cards.  In anticipation of this class, I’ve started trying out some different christmas designs.  This was a very quick and simple card that gave me a chance to…

  • 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…
