Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
It’s not too early to start making Christmas cards. Just think . . . if you start now in a couple of weeks you can have all your cards ready to mail out. To get you started on ideas, here’s a card we made at my recent Christmas card class using the Wondrous Wreath stamp and Wonderful Wreath framelits. We used the square framelits to frame the wreath …
Here’s a card using the For All Things stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. As much as I tried to adjust the colors as I got this card ready for posting, I couldn’t get the larger banner and acorns the right shade of what the Blackberry Bliss ink really is – this card gives it a different shade of purple. This is a very …

It was a little cool yesterday so I thought I would share a card I made for my niece’s shower using the same fall colors I used for her wedding invites. For this card, I embossed 3/4 of the card with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder after I stamped it with the leaf from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set. I then sponged it with Cajun Craze …
Here’s a card made with the Envelope Punch Board to create a file folder card. The larger banners were die cut with the banner framelits and and the smaller banners were punched with the banner punch (now on sale this week!) I used 5 different stamp sets to create this card and used the banner image from the Choose Happiness stamp set (now on sale until …
Today is World Card Making Day where crafters around the world create handmade cards. What are you doing today to celebrate this fun day? Here’s a card I would like to share with you using the Choose Happiness stamp set – one of my favorite stamp sets in the new catalog! The first thing that caught my attention was the sweet sentiment and the wood banner …
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 …
Here’s another sympathy card. Unfortunatley, I needed to make many of these this summer. I used the Lovely as A Tree stamp as the focal point. Once again, I used my good old companion, the Big Shot. I embossed the Very Vanilla card stock with the woodgrain embossing folder and used my Circles Collection Framelits to mount my tree. Perfect masculine card! Before I embossed …
Hi There! Here are a couple of sympathy cards using the Bloom With Hope hostess stamp set. I sponged the one on the left with Wisteria Wonder and So Saffron inks and added rhinestones in the center of the flowers. The one on the right I sponged with Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sky and punched a small circle with Basic Black card stock and added …
Today’s birthday card uses the Dotty Angles stamp. Doesn’t it make a great celebration card? I also used it on the ice cream portion – looks like chocolate chips, doesn’t it? The cone was embossed with the new Tiny Triangles Embossing Folder. Any kid would love receiving this card – my niece absolutely LOVED her ice cream cone card! Don’t forget to take advantage …
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; …
Here’s a card we made recently at my Friendship Card Class. I combined the Kinda Eclectic, Choose Happiness and Hardwood stamp sets to create this card – 3 favorite sets of mine. This card has a Blushing Bride card stock for the base and then the Whisper White card stock is folded in half – a little different than the usual card base fold. I …
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 …
Today’s card is a 3″ x 3″ thank you using the new Dotty Angles Photopolymer stamp. There are 2 stamps in this set (see the other one below). Not only are they great for cards but also for decorating gift packaging. This is a quick and easy card. 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 …
Here are some quick, simple & easy yet elegant set of cards using the stamp sets Work of Art, Bloom With Hope and Gifts of Kindness. Two of the greetings – Thinking of You & Thank You came from the Gifts of Kindness set. Happy Birthday & With Sympathy came from Bloom with Hope. I went white on white card stock and let my ink …
Here’s a card using the For Your County stamp set to thank all the men and women who have fought and are fighting to keep our country safe!

I cut strips of Real Red card stock and laid it over the white …
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 …
