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 …
Moon Lake is a great stamp for masculine cards. For this birthday card, I cut the Island Indigo card base at 5-1/2″ x 8″, scored it at 2-3/4″ and embossed the front of it. I placed the 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White cardstock inside right on top of card base and embossed half of it to leave room for the inside sentiment. I used …
The Celebrate Today stamp set is a very festive stamp with balloons, streamers, banners – all you need to make a great birthday card. To save time on cutting – I would definitely recommend getting the matching Balloon framelits – it die cuts the balloons, banner, streamer and ribbon–after all, who wants to cut with scissors when you can save time with the framelits?! Check …
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, although I have projects to share, I haven’t had the time to post. I was busy preparing for my daughter’s baby shower that took place this past weekend. Her due date is in a couple of weeks! Here’s a card using products from the Occasions Catalog. I used the Painted Petals and the Butterfly Basics stamp sets and …
I received my Stampin’ Up! shipment a couple of days ago and absolutely LOVE, LOVE (think hearts floating all around me) my new stamps and accessories!!

I started playing with some of my new stamps and will have something …
Here’s a clean and simple birthday card using the Gifts of Kindness and Chevron background stamp. I sponged only part of the background stamp with a sponge dauber for a softer look.

Here are 3 more gift card holders . . . I used the image from the Ornamental Pine stamp set for the first one and the faux diamond dust technique. How to Get a Beautiful Glittery Effect: Stamp your image Cover your entire cardstock with the stamped image with VersaMark ink Pour Heat & Stick Powder to cover entire cardstock; shake off excess Using heat tool …
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 …
HAPPY HANUKKAH! MERRY CHRISTMAS! to all my friends out there! Hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends! (a little late . . .I know) As much as I tried to stay ahead in my preparations, something else always popped up. Did you feel this way, too? Anyway, all got done, except being able to edit my pictures and post. So I will …
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 …
Do you give out gift cards? If so, then here’s a great gift card holder made with the Envelope Punch Board. I give out quite a few gift cards to family and friends so I’ve been busy making a few, but still have more to make. To make this matchbook gift card holder I cut the card stock at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at …
Here’s another Gift Card Holder, this time using the adorable White Christmas Stamp which I also made a matching tag (see here). I love snowmen, unfortunately, they go hand in hand with the cold weather which I don’t like so I’m just going to stick with my stuffed, glass and stamped snowmen. I can display them in the summer and they won’t melt and I …

Gift cards come in all sizes – so why not combine a card to place your gift card and at the same time have room to write a message inside.
