High Tide & Sailing Home – Your Light Shines
Happy Tuesday! When I decided to post this card using the High Tide and Sailing Home stamps, I forgot that I had posted a similar card four years ago! Since they have some differences, allow me to share it with you. I made this card early on during the pandemic when my church was collecting cards to send to healthcare workers. I thought it was …

Birthday Blooms
I have a quick post for you. For today’s card I used the beautiful blooms from the Birthday Blooms stamp (retiring soon). Although I usually use all Stampin’ Up! products, I came across this sentiment from Sweet & Sassy that I loved. It’s a set with snippets from a few timeless hymns and the music and choir director in me just couldn’t resist! Isn’t it a …

Blossoming Basket
I received this Sale-A-Bration Blossoming Basket Bundle yesterday and quickly created a card. I wanted to play around with the embossing folder – I love the basket weave look. The basket with flowers is also a nice set. Since I didn’t want to cover the embossing folder, I kept the card simple and fuzzy cut the basket. The basket image was colored with the Stampin’ …

High Tide
I’m always drawn to lighthouse stamps because I love visiting lighthouses. When I saw the High Tide stamp set in the Occasions catalog I knew that eventually it was going to wind up in my stamp collection. Everything you see on this card was stamped with images from the set which also has 4 nice sentiments. Isn’t High Tide a nice set for stamping your own peaceful …
Weather Together
On Saturday, I attended Onstage Local – a Stampin’ Up! event for demonstrators. Demonstrators all over the world gathered in different cities and countries and we had a good time. Among other things, we saw and played with new products, saw the new Occasions 2017 catalog and swapped cards with each other. A lot of the swapping happens while we’re waiting on line to go …
Weather Together The Shelter From The Storm
A simple task of backing up computer files and updating to Windows 10, unfortunately, took a lot longer than expected due to some issues with my back up. If you were wondering why you haven’t heard from me the past few days, that’s the reason. In light of everything that’s happening here and around the world this past week alone, I thought I would post …
Old & New – Pleasant Poppies & Touches of Texture
I don’t usually post cards with retired stamps, but I wanted to share with you this card that I recently sent a friend who’s going through a difficult time and needed encouragement. I knew I wanted to send this Scripture verse and so I looked through my binder and went in search of what flowers would go well with it. I chose Pleasant Poppies (retired) …
Timeless Texture . . .Fear Not
Today’s card features the Timeless Texture stamp as the background and Rose Wonder for the sentiment. I love all the texture and grunge stamps Stampin’ Up! offers in their catalog – Gorgeous Grunge (you already know it’s a favorite), Timeless Texture, and Touches of Texture. I combined all the images from the Timeless Texture stamp and used different color inks to create the background. I …
Pedal Pusher
Today’s card features the Pedal Pusher stamp from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Isn’t this a great sentiment for someone who needs encouragement? I colored the flowers with Stampin’ Write markers using Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie. I stamped and cut two baskets and popped one with a Stampin’ Dimensional to give it some depth. The background is Gorgeous Grunge (of course!) Wouldn’t this …
