I love everything about this card – the Blended Bloom flower colored with the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities and the great backdrop created with one of the images from the Chalk Lines photopolymer stamp. After I colored the flower I cut around it and popped it with Stampin’ Dimensionals – love it. However, I don’t know about you, but although I like the look of images cut out …
Time does fly by – doesn’t it? This summer has been a bit of a whirlwind, visiting different areas of the country and going to a music conference . . . all good, but having fun just means you need to catch up on some work. Then you throw in a little bit of not feeling well for a week with strong headaches and before …
I know it’s been several days since I’ve posted anything here – I got back from vacation last week and I’ve been trying to catch up on things. As soon as I got back home, I went to my studio to whip up 10 cards that I needed for this past week alone . . . 4 birthdays – for my mother-in-law, my 3 nieces; …
Today’s card incorporates the bubble wrap technique with a twist. I’ve done the bubble wrap technique before where you ink up the bubble wrap you get in your packages with any color you like and stamp onto the card stock–the result looks like this. Today’s next step, which I got the idea from Dawn Griffith, takes it to another level. It uses the emboss resist technique …

Only 2 images and a couple of embellishments using the Petite Petal Punch, the flower from the …
Today’s card is an interactive one using the Circle Card Thinlits and Timeless Talk stamp that I made back in May but hadn’t posted it yet. I wanted to make a card with a LP record for my dad who loves to play music. Some of you may be saying, what is that?! Okay let me explain . . . some time ago, way back in the …
This file folder card was created with the new Tap, Tap, Tap stamp set and I used the Envelope Punch Board to make the tabs.

Here are the Stamping Supplies for this project . . . click here to shop at my online store. …
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 …
Here’s a cool technique you may not have heard of before – the Velveteen Technique. Stamp your base image with White Craft ink, then using medium and neutral color inks, stamp your image and as you do, you will see the white ink come through for a nice effect. In this card, I used the Flowering Flourishes stamp as my base, so if you look …
The new Work of Art stamp set is one set you can let your creative side go wild. You can use it in so many different ways to bring out the Picasso in you! This is a quick and easy 3 x 3 card that I made using the 2014-2016 In Colors again. I added some sequins and a strand from the burlap ribbon. Did you …

Captain America, XMen, Spiderman, Thor and all those kind of hero movies are some of my son’s favorites to watch (me, too!) so I decided to make him a Captain America card for his birthday. It’s a very simple card to make especially when using the Circle Collection Framelits. I used the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th circle (from largest to smallest). The star is …
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 …
Here’s a cute image from the stamp set For the Birds that fits perfectly in this Shadow Box Frame. I used the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper that was available during Sale-A-Bration.

I’m ready for warm weather and these flowers from the Summer Silhouettes stamp remind me that it’s just around the corner – they make me happy. I stamped the butterfly on vellum, colored it on the back with markers and sponged the bottom of the card with Daffodil Delight ink. Here’s another card using the Papillon Potpourri and the Field Flowers stamp set that will …

Just stamp randomly and then adhere the hexagon thinlit on top, sponge, and add a sentiment and you’re done! I needed to make this quick card while I was in my world of craziness a few weeks ago. Here are 2 cards that I made a …
