I cased this from the Annual Catalog (page 240). I just changed it up a little to make it my own. I used Elegant Eggplant Card Stock instead of Crumb Cake Card stock and changed a couple of the dies used on the card. I also added gold sequins from the Sequin Trim Ribbon. This set is perfect for coloring with the blendabilities. For today’s card, I used the Wisteria… Read More »
Today’s post uses the Choose Happiness Stamp Set and the Notable Ornament Stamp Brush Set. When I first started stamping and making cards, I made vintage, shabby chic type of cards and then somehow I got away from it. Don’t know why since it’s my favorite type of card! What is your favorite card to make? I also noticed that Stampin’ Up! is going away from the vintage look and… Read More »
This past Saturday, I had a private class at Anna’s house (customer). She lives in Holiday Island, Arkansas. It’s a beautiful retirement community north of Eureka Springs, AR. Though the group was small, it was so much fun and the ladies enjoyed themselves. For me, it is so exciting to show someone who has never stamped how easy it is to make a beautiful handmade card. Because they were beginners,… Read More »

I’ve always loved the floral sets and I have a lot of them but this one has so many different images to it that you could use for both a feminine and masculine… Read More »
I am not calling this a gorgeous Sunburst Sayings card because I think it’s beautiful. I am calling it by this name because I combined the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set with the Sunburst Sayings Stamp Set! It’s sort of a quirky, grungy, eclectic type of card with a little bling! So what do you think – do you like it? The bling comes from the Gold Sequin Trim and… Read More »

There is story behind today’s card! When I was looking for seeds to plant flowers (like the ones across the street from our house – see picture above) around our mailbox, I thought I had picked up the seed packet for Black Eye Susans. I inadvertently picked up the Sunflower Seed Packet. My husband planted them thinking I wanted Sunflowers. Didn’t realize I had the wrong ones until they started… Read More »
This is the reason I make cards! When I make cards for my kids, grandkids and close friends, I always personalize it which means I may buy outside Stampin’ Up! for that perfect image. In this case, I found a digital image of a DJ (my grandson Tanner’s hobby) and made a card for his birthday. You can view it here. I received a text from my grandson below thanking… Read More »
