Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Today’s card was made with several stamp sets – Moon Baby for the inside sentiment, bunny and teddy bear, Hardwood for the crib and dresser, and 3 retired stamps – Zoo Babies for the zebra and giraffe, Baby We’ve Grown for “Sweet Baby”, and A Slice of Life for the pjs. I made this card for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower wanting to create the crib …
I like when you can build on top of another stamp like I did with this card. First I stamped the Hardwood image and then I stamped with the Fresh Fruit set to create this pretty birthday card. The sentiment is from the set Cool Treats. Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to create with this set yet. It sits on my desk calling me – actually screaming …

The chalkboard paper and chalk ink is perfect for an easel type card. Instead of a stand alone easel, I chose to attach it to a standard size card base. I used the Square Framelits to cut the middle. Here’s the inside of the easel. I stamped flowers from the Painted Petals stamp set on the Pink Pirouette cardstock. Did you know you can get …
Here’s another gift card holder using the Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer stamp. I kept the colors the same as the one in yesterday’s post. I used the framelits that coordinate with the stamp to die cut “Joy” onto a Gold Foil Sheet. This is the inside – when you open it up, it slides up and reveals the gift card. It measures 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ and …

As Thanksgiving approaches here in the United States, it’s time to reflect and give thanks for all God has given us. Send out a card to those special people in your life or give it to your host or hostess on Thanksgiving …
Here’s a card we made recently at my Friendship Card Class. I combined the Kinda Eclectic, Choose Happiness and Hardwood stamp sets to create this card – 3 favorite sets of mine. This card has a Blushing Bride card stock for the base and then the Whisper White card stock is folded in half – a little different than the usual card base fold. I …
Here’s another card using the Hardwood Background stamp that I made for my sister who celebrated her birthday last week. I believe she really liked it! May is a popular month in my family with birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother’s Day – many cards to make! I stamped the card stock with Crumb Cake ink on a 5-1/2″ x 12″ Very Vanilla card stock and scored at …
The Hardwood Stamp is a must have in your stamp supplies. It makes a great background and even a fence. I stamped the inside edge using the vine from the Simply Sketched stamp set. I wanted the vine to be seen so I cut off about 1/2″ from the right side. For the leaves, I used the Little Leaves sizzlit die – retiring at the …
This is my last gift card holder with a couple of sneak previews from the new catalog that starts on January 3, 2014.

The tags were made with another new item in the catalog – the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. You can make your …
