Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
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 …
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 …
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 …
Hi Friends! Another quick project – this time let’s do some packaging. Have you seen the bags and boxes in the catalog? They make for some great gift packaging. I used the Chevron bags to wrap up the cards I posted yesterday as a gift for a recent workshop hostess. I used two new stamps – Kinda Eclectic for the butterflies and the hostess stamp, Let …

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 …

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 …
I love the On Film Framelits – they’re so much fun. You can use them to focus on an image or simply put a favorite picture of yours. I colored the flowers from the Peaceful Petals Stamp Set with my blender pens. The top flower is one of my favorites from this set found in the Occasions catalog (good through June 1). And what can I say …
I wanted to make a special card for my daughter’s bridal shower and I knew I wanted a dress so I used the Dress Form Pop N Cuts and Dress Up Framelits for the inside. I also cut a window sheet with the Ovals Framelits for the mirror. Originally I wanted to add a picture of her and her fiance on the ‘table’ but ran out of time! The …
It’s winter time . . . so let it snow! This cute little Center Step Snowman Card Frame was made at my December stamping club. Isn’t he adorable? Check out the Frosted Finishes Embellishment on the hat? Aren’t they gorgeous? (available through January 2, 2014). With the exception of the hat and easel, I cased this snowman from Miriam Cassell’s project at Wrapping Up the Holidays at U …
This has truly been a very busy week . . . directing my choir concert, gathering with friends, wrapping gifts, making gift cards, etc. etc. so, unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to post any of my projects. Let me share with you one of the gift cards I made using the Festive Flurry stamp and Festive Flurry Framelits. I made three of these and loved they way they came out. I even …
Here’s a luminary that would look nice with your Christmas décor. Looks great lit with a flameless tealight but it also looks great if it’s not lit. I embossed the vellum with the Petals A Plenty Embossing Folder and used the Labels Framelit Dies for the opening on all 4 sides. I stamped the Smoky Slate card stock with the branch from the Lovely As A Tree …
I love the way this card turned out using Gorgeous Grunge which has become one of my ‘turn to’ for great effects, Perfect Blend – a fun stamp set and my Stampin’ Daubers for the polka dot effect.
