CARD: Friends & Flowers Bunny

Hi Stampers, One of my "Must Have" sets from the Spring catalog was the Friends & Flowers set. I love fish go the cute little punched out fishy caught my eye right away! But for our Stamp Camp last weekend I was working on Spring or Easter themed cards so I decided to create a card using the Bunny from the set. A lot of the stampers were going to add a Happy Easter greeting to this card - but I went with a Congratulations greeting from Balloon Celebrations - I think this is a great card for a Baby...

CARD: Love is In the Air

Hi Stampers, Last weekend was my monthly stamp camp. Two of the cards we created were inspired by a Global Design Project Sketch #gdp014. The first one uses the Bloomin' Love stamp set for the second one I changed up the size to a note card and we used the Saleabration set What I Love (which you can earn free with a $50.00 order) I also added a little bling to the center of the flower with Wink of Stella. I love using sketches as a jumping off point for creating a card - it's much better than staring at... Read more →

CARD: Flowering Fields

Hi Stampers, I needed a few Thank You cards and I was itching to play with the new Wink of Stella Glitter Brush so I made up a few of these cards using Grateful Bunch and the Sale-a-bration set Flowering Fields. It's hard to get a good picture of the pretty Wink of Stella - you can see in this close up that I applied it to the flower petals after coloring them - but it's much less "shiny" and much more glittery in person. I LOVE IT! (And for all my fellow Firefly fans out there you'll understand that... Read more →

CARD: Believe Reindeer

Hi Stampers, Did you see the pictured of the Christmas Card class over on my Facebook page?? If not go check 'em out. I know those of you who couldn't make it to this year's Christmas Card Class have been waiting to get a peek at the cards we made! This is one of the cards I designed for the class. I fell in LOVE with the deer image and wanted to create a very classic Rudolph type card in a not so classic color combo - what do you think of the Blue, Purple, and Sliver look? Of course...

CARD: Celebrate Hot Air Balloons

Hi Stampers, I've been away for far too long and I have missed sharing with my online stampin' friends!! The year so far has been a little crazy for me - and that means I have not had the time to share that I want! But I'm excited to be back and hopefully back to normal with my sharing!! Today I have a fun card we created at my last Stamp Camp. I love the versatility of the Celebrate Today stamp set! We created several different cards with this set at Stamp Camp - all of them had a different... Read more →

Holiday Helper: Country Card & Tags

Holiday Helper Series Project 8: Country Card & Tags Did you wake up Christmas morning and rush out to see what was under the tree? Did you and your family members take turns playing Santa and passing out the gifts to everyone? Did you peek at the gift tags to see who's name was on the "To" line? Tags are a crucial part of gift giving, but just because they're functional, doesn't mean that they can't be cute. You can adorn your packages with some handmade love this season with these festive gift tags and tag cards. For another option... Read more →

Holiday Helper: Visions of Santa Cards

Holiday Helper Series Project 7: Visions of Santa Cards The holidays are full of traditions, including stories and songs that we learned from childhood that just seem to stay with us. Maybe you remember being curled up and cozy while listening to T'was the Night Before Christmas and wondering if you'd hear Santa at your house on Christmas eve. And now you're the one reading to a captive audience of little ones on the nice list. Sometimes it's fun to put a little twist on tradition, so instead of dancing sugar plums, send some dancing Santas this year! These fun... Read more →
