I'm so mad I could kick myself! Okay, maybe not that mad (LOL). I ordered the Movers and Shapers die and the Fancy Favor box die and forgot to order the extended cutting pads and extended crease pad. Oh well, they will be ordered with my September order (which is ready to go!). I decided to use one of the most beautiful stamp images from Stampin' Up! – the single… Read More »
I made today's card using Clean and Simple Card Sketch FTL #56. As you can see I didn't exactly stick to the original sketch. Here's the sketch: But I did keep it clean and simple. I am beginning to love this type of card because they are so easy and quick to make. For the flower and scrolls, I used the Lovely Flower Rub-on's from the Lovely Flowers Bundle, Hostess Level… Read More »

Today's card is called Arte Oriental. The English name of the stamp set is Asian Artistry but when I ordered it from Stampin' Up! during the preview I inadvertently order the Spanish version. And since I had used the images several times before I noticed my mistake, I could not return it. The photograph of the card is a little different than my usual. I usually try and take the… Read More »

Today's card came about because of two things: (1) needed to come up with cards for this month's stamp camp which will consist of sympathy cards. We all need them but are not usually in a mood to make them when we really need them! and (2) I decided to join in on the late night stampers challenge #31 which is to make a monochromatic card. When I think… Read More »
Hey what a neat saying from the titles of two stamp sets. I usually put the title of the stamp set as the title of the post and I like this! It's a philosophy we should all live by. I just can't stay away from the new in-colors. They are beautiful, bold and bright and I love them anyway (LOL)!. This card was inspired by one I saw several months… Read More »
I am very excited to feature the stamp set Peace Within from the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. This set will definitely be one of your favorites because it can lend itself to any occasion. I've purposely left off any type of sentiment so that I can tailor to fit as I need it. This card uses the new In-colors Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo. The Designer Series… Read More »
