How would you feel if you designed a stamp and it was chosen among many to be produced and sold through Stampin’ Up!? I know I would be jumping up and down with excitement!

Did you do a double take on yesterday’s post? I posted the same card back on October 2 and forgot I had already posted it! Does that mean I’m just too busy and I’m forgetting things? Sure hope not!

This was a quick card to make using the Flower Shop stamp set. I wanted a soft looking card for an elderly lady who is at a rehab so I decided to use one of my paper doilies and flowers. I like the softness the Pistachio Pudding and Soft Sky combo creates. The unique thing about this card is that I also punched a flower …

I know it’s officially the fall season, but I’m still in summer mode so let me share with you a summer theme card. First of all, I love the bold print of the Cherish the Moments stamp – (one of the stamps from the Baby Prints stamp set) – it makes such a great focal point. I stamped two of the images from By the Tide stamp set as a background …
One of my all-time favorite things to do is watch the sunset whenever I can. I just love them! So when my family and I vacationed in Hawaii last month, I made sure I didn’t miss it. Hawaiian sunsets are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The picture above is one that my daughter took right from the balcony of our hotel room. The one below is one that I took …
In today’s card I used the Emerging Colors technique which is a variation of the embossing resist technique. See another variation in this post. Do you see the colors coming through the Besty’s Blossoms image? Can you guess which stamp I used for the colors that show through the blossom? Gorgeous Grunge – one of my favorites! It is so versatile!! So did you guess right? I also …
When I first got the Daydream Medallions Stamp Set at the Stampin’ Up! convention last year, I wasn’t sure how I would use it and if I liked it. I started playing around with it and with a little inspiration from the display boards at convention I started to like the many possibilities it has. One of my favorite things I like about it is the combinations you can make with the …

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. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this year’s In Colors. Here I used Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana and Pistacio Pudding. I loved working with The Ruffled Stretch Trim – I used Glue …
I’ve heard many say that they have a hard time coming up with masculine cards. Images such as trees, cars, tools, etc. can be used, but did you know that giving your cards texture and using ‘manly’ colors also makes a great masculine card? Here’s a masculine card I made for my nephew who shares the same birth date as me. I was going to stamp a car from the Rev the Fun stamp …
