Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
I have a quick post for you. For today’s card I used the beautiful blooms from the Birthday Blooms stamp (retiring soon). Although I usually use all Stampin’ Up! products, I came across this sentiment from Sweet & Sassy that I loved. It’s a set with snippets from a few timeless hymns and the music and choir director in me just couldn’t resist! Isn’t it a …
Today’s card is simple and quick using the Lots of Lavender Sale-A-Bration stamp for the focal point. I have a couple of lavender plants in my garden and love the fragrance as I pass by or touch them. And don’t get me started with the lavender soap – love it. It all started when I visited a lavender farm several years ago in the San …
Today’s birthday card was made using the Flower Shop stamp and the new Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I hadn’t used this set for a while and I thought it was time to ink it up.

Today’s project was made with the Birthday Blooms stamp, Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper and Gift Bag Punch Board (one of this week’s discounted items!). The flower was stamped, colored and cut out (by hand) and adhered onto a Deco Label framelit die cut. Did you notice the glittery Pool Party ribbon? What do you think? Isn’t it lovely? I love it . . . although I may …
Today’s card features the Birthday Blooms set and Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper (DSP). One of the things that attracted me the most to this set was the font – it just seems like a cheerful one, doesn’t it? I colored the flower with a Blender Pen and put my scissors to work to cut the flower – a lot of twists and turns but well …

Here are 2 cards that I made a …
