Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
While I was making samples for my open house this past Friday, I created a card with a big jar (to post soon) and thought how cool it would be to make a small jar full of the M & M’s with the small circle image in the Jar of Love set. I took out the M&M bag I bought for the class to check …
Today I’m featuring two 3″ x 3″ cards using a hostess set from the Occasions catalog and one from the Annual Catalog – both retiring soon. The first stamp is Love You Sew. I made a spool shape card with the Envelope Punch Board following a tutorial I came across from Papercrafter45. The sentiments in this set are cute. I like everything about the card – the sentiment, …
Have you tried the new Whisper White Thick cardstock yet? Here’s what I think of it in comparison to the regular Whisper White cardstock. The thick cardstock is perfect for when you have a lot of embellishments on your card – it holds up very well. The regular Whisper White cardstock is good but does not stand up as well when you have lots of …
For weeks, the Butterfly Basics Stamp set and Butterfly Thinlits were not available due to the West Coast Dock strike and then there was a delay getting the container off the ship. As of today, they are now back in stock and can be ordered. It’s a great set to add to your collection. Stampin’ Up! appreciates your patience while these supplies were not available …
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).

Only 2 images and a couple of embellishments using the Petite Petal Punch, the flower from the …

The little banner is something you can get for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. See details here. Since there’s a dog in this card, I thought I would share with you a picture of my sister’s dog out …
I participated in a 3 x 3 card swap at convention and here’s the card I made. I absolutely LOVE the Wetlands Stamp set. Well I made it home, unpacked and put away all my goodies – now it’s time to rest a little and tomorrow it’s time to work a little and then play with my new sets a lot! IT’S ALMOST OVER . . . …
Need a thank you card right away? You can whip up this 3″ x 3″ card in no time at all. These are quick and easy thank you cards I made for my customers using the Daydream Medallions stamp set I got at the Stampin’ Up! Convention this year. I also used the Sassy Salutations stamp. Cardmaking does not have to be complicated with lots of layers or embellishments. Sometimes simple …
Here’s a quick but elegant 3×3 thank you card. I used From My Heart Stamp Set. It has many nice sayings with cool graphics and if you want to add an extra dimensional layer it’s easy with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies #125598. I embossed the image with Tangerine Tango embossing powder, added a small basic rhinestone in the middle of the heart, pierced the corners and it was done. …
