Hello all. Hope you like my latest card creation featuring the Regal Winter 12×12 Designer Series Paper. Such beautiful paper! Card layout is one I have done many times, and I like it because you get two cards from one 4×5-1/4 piece of DSP. Use any patterned paper from you stash and match it to a stamp set of your choice.
Hello stampin friends. I have started preparing cards for my annual Christmas Stamp-a-Stack being held on November 9th. I think the Decorative Tree Bundle is so lovely, and the foil really makes the card pop. In my ongoing effort to use up what I have the video features green foil. Several years ago for Christmas Stampin Up sold green and red foil. I still have a couple sheets left so that is what is used in the video. The picture below shows the card in gold foil. We will be doing one red and one green at the Stamp-a-Stack.

Not sure I’m ready to think about Christmas yet, but all the stores are totally stocked with Christmas items. Would be nice if we could celebrate Thanksgiving first. Hope you like the card. Blessings!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Crist Jesus”
Here we go again with another Terrific Tuesday card. I am calling this one a double flap card, but not sure that adequately describes the card. Best thing about the extra flap is using and showing almost a whole sheet of the beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6×6 Designer Serie Paper. I will say it was a bit difficult to capture the card in my photos. But it is what it is.

Really like the way this card turned out. My inspiration came from a swap card I received, and am sorry I didn’t write down her name. Hope you like it as much as I do. Blessings!
Hi friends! This week’s card is a blast from the past featuring a stamp set from 2019/2020. Back on Your Feet is a set I have kept, and used many times. It will always be a part of my stash. I chose to make a “get well” card; but with the greeting I put on the front, it could be an encouragement or thinking of you card.

Hello everyone! Got the video posted on Tuesday, but yesterday was doctor/physical therapy day so had no time to blog. The featured card for this week is our first Christmas card of 2024. This will probably be the card I send out this year. A bit of die cutting and some heat embossing involved, but it’s really pretty simple.

Happy September everyone! Doesn’t seem possible summer is over. It is so true the older you get the faster time flies Today I am doing a masculine card which is something I never have enough of. Featured bundle is Adventurous Sky which is all about airplanes. I used very generic greetings so card can be for any occasion or a just because card. Hope you like it.

Good morning everyone! At least it is morning for me as I am writing this on Wednesday, August 14th. Can’t believe this month is half over already. I am a day late writing this post, but I did get the video uploaded yesterday. My husband had his second surgery in four months on Monday the 12th so that day was spent at the hospital. He had rotator/bicep shoulder repair and it went well. However with any surgery there are pain and practical issues to be worked out. It’s hard to get him dressed with one arm in a big old sling. Thankfully surgery was on the left shoulder, and he is right handed. He can do lots of things, but some require my help. Enough babbling – let’s get to the card. The focal point on the front is actually from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. I love it when the Stampin Up Dies cut out some of the images of the Designer Series Paper. Makes the card go pretty quickly.

I love the tile look of the paper on the front. Used a generic greeting so card could be used for any type of occasion. We will be doing this card at class this week. Stampin Up is running a 15% off sale on all their Designer Series Paper featured in the 24-25 Annual Catalog, and this is one of those papers. If you would like to order, just click on the paper thumbnail below; and you will be taken directly to my online store. There are lots of other beautiful papers on sale also.

Hello everyone! Here’s this weeks Terrific Tuesday card. It can be super simple or you can step it up to make it a bit more fancy. Time required to make is minimal in both cases. Also features butterflies which I love. Thanks to Pootles Papercraft from the UK for inspiration.

Another terrific Tuesday card. My stash always runs low on Masculine Birthday cards so today we are making one to help replenish my stash. This card goes together so quickly, and it’s a great way to use of some of your Designer Series Paper scraps.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Can’t believe another week has flown by, and it’s time for our Terrific Tuesday card. Our card is very similar to last week’s, but using a different fold technique. We are doing an angled fold this time. Same Designer Series Paper but different pattern. These cards are so quick to make, and can be for any occasion using any stamp set you have on hand.

Love this card, and have made many variations. Just changed the Designer Series Paper and sentiment.

Blessings to you all. See you next week. Stay out of the heat especially this weekend.
