Daisy Garden is a pretty background stamp. Whether you like to color or not, you can use it to create a beautiful bouquet.

Life Is A Beautiful Ride
I like combining several stamps and creating a scene and so that’s what I did for this card. I stamped the car, couple & sentiment from Beautiful Ride, the tree from Sheltering Tree and the stars from Balloon Celebration. Actually, when I stamped the stars with VersaMark to emboss with white embossing powder, I thought I had selected the closed stars but instead they were the open …
Birthday Blooms
Today’s card features the Birthday Blooms set and Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (DSP). One of the things that attracted me the most to this set was the font – it just seems like a cheerful one, doesn’t it? I colored the flower with a Blender Pen and put my scissors to work to cut the flower – a lot of twists and turns but well …
From the Herd – Just Sayin’
Time does fly, doesn’t it? My son and nephew were born 2 weeks apart and turned 30 this month – it’s hard to believe! Here’s the card I made for my nephew using the stamp sets From the Herd, Just Sayin’ and Back to Basics Alphabet including the Word Bubble Framelits. I think the look on the animals’ faces are great–too good to pass up. These stamps …
Time to Celebrate
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great day yesterday. I had a wonderful Easter Sunday going to church and then celebrating with family. Isn’t it great to gather with family and create special memories? Love them! For this card, I combined a couple of stamps together – Time to Celebrate (an Occasions Catalog hostess set), Perfect Pennants (for the sentiment) and Gorgeous Grunge (for the …
Moon Lake Birthday
This image from the Moon Lake stamp set with the tree and canoe has such a calming affect, doesn’t it? I wish I was there right now instead of surrounded by snow and ice. I’m tired of this weather!! I want spring, flowers and warmth! Of course, with that comes gardening work outside which means less crafting . . . hmm. . . I’m torn. …
Get Your Santa On Gift Card Holders
I made several of the same type of gift card holders as the one in this post, and here. I just changed the image. For these two cards I used the Get Your Santa On stamp set. I embossed the Basic Black cardstock with the stars embossing folder and then sponged it with White craft ink for the chalk-like look. I colored this one with the …
Bloom With Hope Birthday
The minute I saw the Bloom With Hope hostess stamp, I fell in love with it and knew I had to get it! This was the stamp that I preordered before the catalog went live – a perk that as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I get (and you can, too – find out here!) I love the 5 sentiments that go with it and the …
Peaceful Petals Bookmark Card
The Peaceful Petals Stamp Set is a great set in the Occasions catalog that is going away on June 1st. I used this set last night at my technique club meeting to make this beautiful detached bookmark card using the Stampin’ Trimmer with the Rotary Addition and the Perforating Cutting Blade. I also used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on the bookmark (another great tool!). Not …
Peaceful Petals On Film – A Mother’s Day Card
I love the On Film Framelits – they’re so much fun. You can use them to focus on an image or simply put a favorite picture of yours. I colored the flowers from the Peaceful Petals Stamp Set with my blender pens. The top flower is one of my favorites from this set found in the Occasions catalog (good through June 1). And what can I say …
Two By Two Baby Card and Sneak Peak
When I saw the Two by Two stamp in the 2012-13 Annual Catalog I knew I had to get it… it’s so cute – I love it!! It’s a wonderful set to use for a baby card and that’s exactly what I used it for this past weekend. Click here to see another baby card I made using the Little Additions Stamp set which …
Trust God In The Secret Garden
Hello Friends . . . I love the elegance and softness that vellum brings to a card. I used vellum on the Secret Garden flowers to which I had embossed with black embossing powder and then colored with blender pens. I cut them out with the Secret Garden Framelits – 1,2,3 and done! I added the Elegant Lines embossing folder (which is retiring soon – …
Didn’t Have Time For Valentine’s Day Cards?

All the Valentine’s Day stamps and supplies are out so why not take advantage of that? Here are two easy cards to make that are similar yet different. I really like the flair in the Love You Much stamp …
Googly Eye Monster
I cased this card from a kid theme swap I received at convention, unfortunately, either there was no name attached or the label fell off so I can’t give credit to that person. I made a couple of changes but kept the color scheme and design which I thought was great. I gave this card to my nephew who shares the same birthday I do. Although he’s …
Cooling Off With the Birds!
Summer has arrived with a bang! Here in New Jersey we felt it right away with yesterday’s 97 degree weather but today’s forecast is a cooler one . . . at 94 degrees! So I asked myself which stamp would make me feel cooler? For the Birds got my vote using bright summer colors. Here we have two birds having fun in their birdbath. …
Elements of Style Meets Center Step Card
Today’s card is one I made for my niece whose birthday is tomorrow. I’m so proud of all her accomplishments and how she has overcome obstacles in her life! Because she’s special she deserves a special kind of card so I thought a center step card would be just right! I used the beautiful Elements of Style stamp, my ink pads and blender pen for coloring. Wondering how I made …
