Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Today’s 4″ x 4″ card was made with the Playful Pals Stamp set and the Pyramid Pals Thinlits. I have a confession to make that will probably shock you– I am not a dog lover (or any other animal for that matter). It’s not that I don’t like them, I just don’t have the time to take care of them and be tied down and I …
Have you tried the Sunburst Thinlits Die yet? It gives your projects a quick wow punch. When you run the die through the big shot, you will have a longer piece than you need for your card so you will have to trim it. I like it because you have the flexibility to change this die cut to any size or shape you want. It …
Today’s card was created with the Best Thoughts Stamp set and the sentiment from the Choose Happiness set. Notice the background behind the flower? It’s the new Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I absolutely love the look of the Brick Wall! The folder measures 6″ x 6″ which is larger than the other embossing folders. For this card I stamped the flower in Memento Ink and colored …
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 …
This was a quick card to make using the Flower Shop stamp set. I wanted a soft looking card for an elderly lady who is at a rehab so I decided to use one of my paper doilies and flowers. I like the softness the Pistachio Pudding and Soft Sky combo creates. The unique thing about this card is that I also punched a flower …
When I first got the Daydream Medallions Stamp Set at the Stampin’ Up! convention last year, I wasn’t sure how I would use it and if I liked it. I started playing around with it and with a little inspiration from the display boards at convention I started to like the many possibilities it has. One of my favorite things I like about it is the combinations you can make with the …
I want to share with you one of the cards we’re making at my technique club this month using the Reinker Spread technique – it’s cool and works like magic! My first club loved it and I know my second club will love it as well when we meet next week! I used the Secret Garden stamp set – loved this set! The best thing about it is that you …
I needed to make a special card for a sweet and special elderly couple who used to attend my church before they moved away and who are going through a rough time with the husband on hospice and the wife dealing with cancer. I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets, Just Believe for this card. I like the softness of the flowers. I colored the flower image …
I love flowers! They brighten your room and smell so nice. Each time you give flowers to someone you can convey a different message such as . . . Get well soon, I love you, Congratulations, I’m sorry and so many more. Fresh flowers are great and . . . Did you know you can make flowers out of paper, too? In last year’s Stampin’ Up! convention, …
