Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
Today’s Double Z Fold card is one I made for my niece’s baby shower, using several stamp sets to create it. I first came across this fold from Jan B. and knew I wanted to make a baby card using this fun fold. I wanted my main focus on Baby Bear so I stamped him on the far right so he would be seen when the …
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Weather Together and Umbrella Weather Framelits is one of my favorites. Before I started to create this card, I was envisioning one of the impressionistic paintings about Paris and the umbrellas in the park and so I wanted lots of color for my card. Card Details Here are the details . . . I started out with …
World of Dreams is the featured stamp in today’s card and is one that’s on the retiring list. Just as yesterday’s card, I made these 2 cards last year but hadn’t posted them. For the card above, I used the Window Framelits which retired last year and used the masking technique. I also used the Decorative Hearts stencil (on the current retiring list). This stamp …
I like combining several stamps and creating a scene and so that’s what I did for this card. I stamped the car, couple & sentiment from Beautiful Ride, the tree from Sheltering Tree and the stars from Balloon Celebration. Actually, when I stamped the stars with VersaMark to emboss with white embossing powder, I thought I had selected the closed stars but instead they were the open …
Remember yesterday’s post on Sheltering Tree? In today’s card, I used it to create a background for the Hexagon Hive Thinlit. Today’s featured stamp is Gift from the Garden. I love gardening so when I saw this stamp in the Annual Catalog I knew I had to get it. The stamp set makes great note cards. It has several fun images which allows you to …
Here’s another favorite stamp of mine from the Annual Catalog – Sheltering Tree. I love this stamp and how you can create all the seasons of the year. This card would make a great Christmas card by changing the sentiment – don’t you think? Here’s another card with a fall scene. You can also use some of the images to create something completely different. Click here …
Let’s celebrate retirement with the Sheltering Tree, the Guy Greetings car, and the Gorgeous Grunge stamps to make this scene. I retired last month from my part time position as office administrator at my church after 18 years working in that capacity. It was good working there, but retirement is so much better!! Every night, I keep thinking I need to get ready for work …
FREE SHIPPING ENDS TODAY!!! NO MINIMUM! DON’T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY! For today’s card, I used 3 different stamp sets – Serene Silhouettes (image), Painted Petals (sentiment) and Sheltering Tree (bottom). As I was looking at the image from the Sheltering Tree – the one that you use for the leaves, I thought it would make a great stone wall for my flowers. I used the …
Love is Kindness is one of the stamps I fell in love when I saw the Occasions Catalog. The original stamp has a sentiment about love to the left of the image but I decided to remove it before I mounted it to the wood in order to use it for any occasion. For this card, I colored the tulips with Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and …

The Sheltering Tree is one of my favorite stamp sets in the occasion catalog. I love making cards with a scene and this set lends itself to that. What I love about this set is the watercolor effect and that you can easily change the seasons with a change of color and a couple of images from the set. A definite must-have. This card is …
