Yep, Hey Chick & Delicate Details. It’s …
Today is my mom’s 78th birthday and this is the card I made for her. Unfortunately she’s in the hospital right now so I wanted to make something cheerful yet soft. She loves lace and what better stamp to use than the Delicate Details from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I wanted something dainty so I added some lace trim and one of the Falling In Love …
Today’s card features Hey Chick & Any Occasion, two Sale-A-Bration stamps used to make this humorous thank you card. The ‘thank you’ from the Any Occasion set was stamped in Night of Navy, cut with scissors, then adhered with half of a Stampin’ Dimensional. The embossed circle was sponged with Tempting Turquoise whereas the Pear Pizzazz banner was not. Do you see the difference in …
There are 3 weeks until Sale-A-Bration ends. That also means that as Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end, items are available while supplies last. One of the items that already sold out is the Card Tin, but there are still some great items available. Today I want to share several of those items that I used for this card – Delicate Details, Designer Tee and …
How would you feel if you received a birthday card with the ‘Happy Birthday, Gorgeous’ sentiment? It probably would make you feel good, wouldn’t it? The sentiment and image is from the Beautiful You stamp set. I embossed strips of Sweet Sugarplum card stock with the large polka dot embossing folder and then applied clear Wink of Stella. Of course, I used the Stitched Shapes …
I like when you can build on top of another stamp like I did with this card. First I stamped the Hardwood image and then I stamped with the Fresh Fruit set to create this pretty birthday card. The sentiment is from the set Cool Treats. Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to create with this set yet. It sits on my desk calling me – actually screaming …
Today’s card is a quick and easy card which does not require too many supplies. I combined two Sale-A-Bration stamps – So Very Much and Delicate Details to make this clean and simple card. The ‘Thank You’ is big enough that you don’t need anything else. The card was cut at 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/8. This way you can see the doily …
I know Valentine’s Day is over, but I still have some cards I haven’t posted yet so I thought I would share another one with you. I used several stamps to create this card but the main focus was done with Mediterranean Moments and So In Love. There are two techniques I used on this card – the first being that I made an opening of …
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’re doing something special with someone you love – whether it be your spouse, a child, a friend or someone who simply needs to be shown some love. Today’s card is one that I made for my grandson who’s turning 2 at the end of this week. I love this Baby Bear set – it looks so realistic and you can …
I don’t know what the weather’s been like where you live, but here in NJ we’ve experienced Spring, Fall and Winter all in one week. Although it hasn’t been a bad winter, I’m ready for some spring weather and no more colds. However, it’s great weather for staying home and creating cards for Valentine’s Day. Today’s card features the host set Lots of Love and …
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 …
This happy stamper Custom Tee was easy to make with the T-Shirt Builder Framelits. The background was easily done with the Tie Dyed stamp which you can also use on the t-shirt for a tie dyed look. This sentiment caught my eye immediately. After all, who’s not happy when they’re stamping and creating? Did you know that the T-Shirt Builder Framelits coordinates with the FREE …
Can you believe January is almost over?! That means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so I thought I would share a card I made several months ago to celebrate the occasion. I created this card with the Painter’s Palette stamp set – different than all the other cards that I’ve made with this set. Click here and here to see other cards with the …
Today’s card features the stamp set Helping Me Grow and the Celebrations Duo Embossing Folder. I also used the Delicate Details Sale-A-Bration stamp set for the border. This new embossing folder is a little different from the others as it debosses the image versus raising the image. Watch this video to see how it works in combination with the Happy Celebrations stamp set. What do …
Today’s card is using the FREE Hey Chick stamp from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. When I first saw this set, I knew it would be on my list to get. I think it’s so cute especially the one with the hair. Think of the sentiments you can use to create funny cards with this set. To make this card, I combined a couple of stamp sets …
These 3″ x 3″ cards were made with the Sealed with Love suite – Sealed with Love stamp set, Love Note Framelits, Sending Love Designer Series Paper and Sending Love embellishments. These were one of the make and takes at a Stampin’ Up! event back in November before the Occasions catalog went live. Aren’t they cute? My favorite product from this suite is the Love Note Framelits. I …
Remember me? Sorry about the lack of posts. It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to post anything due to helping out family members who need my assistance. Here’s a card I recently made for my mom and dad who celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary earlier this month. The sentiment is from Best Birds, and the hearts and scroll from Sealed with …

The Holiday Catalog ended on January 3 and the Occasions Catalog started yesterday along with Sale-A-Bration! Today’s card features Tasty Trucks, one of the stamp sets from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. It’s a food truck which you …
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.
