Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a great day celebrating with friends and family. We had a nice time at my daughter’s home with 22 people. I did most of the cooking of main dishes and I must say, I am EXHAUSTED!! Thank goodness, I can stay home and relax while I put up my Christmas decorations – something I do every year the day after …

Today’s cards are 2 Christmas swaps I received at Onstage Secaucus. The first card was made with the Wonder of Christmas. The second card made with Peaceful Pines was made by Judy Hyde. At last month’s class, we made this card using the Wonder of Christmas. Whether you decide to color the angel or not, it makes a nice Christmas card. Since I was going to use my …
Today’s Christmas card features Painter’s Palette and 4 other stamp sets. We made this card at my Christmas in July card class before the holiday catalog was live. Many times a little thinking out of the box allows you to take a stamp that wasn’t intended for Christmas and create a Christmas card like this one. Here are the details for this card: the swirls …
Merry Mice is such a cute set and I had fun creating this card with this trio of mice. As I’ve mentioned before I love making square cards. The only drawback to a square card is that you pay a little extra postage for it, unless you make a smaller square card than a 5″ x 5″. My card today is a 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ …
The Merriest Wishes Shaker Card is a simple yet elegant card, don’t you think? Just in case you overlooked this stamp set along with the Merry Tags Framelits, you can find it on page 21 of the Holiday Catalog. The Merriest Wishes sentiment is stamped in Soft Sky and Cherry Cobbler ink, but that was totally unintentional although I like the the way it turned …
Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you’re finding time to stamp today. Today’s card features the Time of Year Host stamp. You can make quick and easy cards because the Thinking of You sentiment is the main focus. After stamping Thinking of You, stamp the occasion and die cut with the Bunch of Banners Framelits popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For my 1st card, I used …

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Weather Together and Umbrella Weather Framelits is one of my favorites. Before I started to create this card, I was envisioning one of the impressionistic paintings about Paris and the umbrellas in the park and so I wanted lots of color for my card. Card Details Here are the details . . . I started out with …
Today’s card features a sneak preview of the Love You Lots hostess set from the new catalog. It has some adorable images and sentiments. I sponged all five of the 2016-2018 In Colors and made this into a faux layer card. Nice colors, right? And aren’t these hedgehogs cute? More sneak previews to come. Thanks for stopping by. . . hope you have a great …
I like combining several stamps and creating a scene and so that’s what I did for this card. I stamped the car, couple & sentiment from Beautiful Ride, the tree from Sheltering Tree and the stars from Balloon Celebration. Actually, when I stamped the stars with VersaMark to emboss with white embossing powder, I thought I had selected the closed stars but instead they were the open …
Happy Easter! What a special day this is! It’s a day where I celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and what that means in my life. Because of his death and resurrection, I have hope and life! I am eternally grateful to God for the unconditional love He has shown me. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes …
The What I Love Sale-A-Bration stamp is so pretty. It’s called a 2-step stamp but actually it’s stamped 3 times. The flower images comes with a small arrow. Each time you stamp one of the flower images, place the arrow in the same direction and this will ensure that the placement of each of the flower parts will be exact, although with this flower if …

Cozy Christmas – made by Rebecca Santos Sparkly Seasons & Snow Place Winter Wishes Wonderland (money holder) – Made by April Baily Waltrip Check out the retiring list here. Stamps will continue to be produced through December 28 but accessories (paper, …
Need a quick and easy Christmas card? Create one with the Jingle All the Way stamp and Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies. This black and white card is beautiful as is but if you want to jazz it up a bit, add glitter to the bottom of the card for snow or on the starry sky and you’ll have yourself a nice simple and sparkly card. …
I recently had my tag class using the Oh, What Fun Project Tag Kit. We had lots of fun making them. They look even better in person than in the catalog. I took one of the tags and made it into this quick and easy card. The kit comes with enough supplies to make 30 tags so I was okay using one of them for …
Today’s card is one that you can whip up pretty quickly with the Festival of Trees stamp set and coordinating tree punch. Just cut two Always Artichoke cardstock panels and one Cherry Cobbler. Stamp on all 3 the garland inked with VersaMark. Stamp your trees with Always Artichoke and the ornaments on the middle tree with Cherry Cobbler. The tree stand is stamped with Always …
Isn’t this dove beautiful embossed in gold? This is one of the cards we did for my Christmas Card class earlier this month. The Dove of Peace stamp comes with the sentiment right below it but I decided that I wanted to separate it from the dove and give the sentiment its own wood block that way I can always use it separate from the …
Here’s another favorite stamp of mine from the Annual Catalog – Sheltering Tree. I love this stamp and how you can create all the seasons of the year. This card would make a great Christmas card by changing the sentiment – don’t you think? Here’s another card with a fall scene. You can also use some of the images to create something completely different. Click here …
