Starting on 9 June 2014, I will be featuring masculine cards every Monday. This type of card is the hardest type of card for me to make. And yet, most of the people (relatives) I send cards to are males (grandsons, sons-in-law, nephews, brothers) so go figure!This card is for my brother, Eddie who birthday this year falls on Father’s Day (15 June). I used the digital image from Counryside. … Read More »
My granddaughter, Cissy, loves owls so it was relatively easy to make her a card. Her bedroom colors are red, white and black and I decided to use those colors for her card. I find it very difficult to make cards for teenage girls because they are so picky! Which age group do you have a problem with for cards?I used Red Glimmer Paper to give the card a little “oomph!”… Read More »

I used our new… Read More »
I’m excited to share our newest photopolymer set, Endless Birthday Wishes (Item# 137553). It’s similar to the set we offered for the holidays last year called Endless Wishes. The concept is that you can build lots of different birthday greetings (and more) by combining the handwritten words with typed words and phrases. And with photopolymer stamps grouping words and phrases together is simple. I just ordered my today because I don’t… Read More »
Today’s card is for my daughter, Stephanie. I used the new colors Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss and the Gorgeous Grunge and Bring on the Cake Stamp Sets.

To make the butterflies and strip of Blackberry Bliss Card Stock pop, I used the… Read More »
I just recently bought a MacBook Pro (Happy Birthday to me!!!) – I’ve always been a pc user but wanted to make the switch to the Mac. All I can say is that it is a challenge to try and learn a new way of in entering data! But I’ve been wanting one for a long, long time and I was finally able to buy one for myself. … Read More »
For today’s card I used a non-SU stamp (gasp!!!). I selected this one for my friend Diana’s birthday. Yes, she does like the flowery ones I’ve sent in the past but when I saw this stamp on Pinterest, I fell in love with it. Diana, my other friend, Becky, and I have been close friends since high school and I thought this one would be perfect for her.I pulled the… Read More »
Today’s card is one I made for my grandson, David, who turned 15. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and do it as fast as possible because I started his card 30 minutes before we were due to pick up for his Birthday dinner! Talk about working under pressure – and I did it to myself. Do you procrastinate (like me?) or do you give yourself plenty… Read More »

I saw this card on Facebook and fell instantly in love with it. I changed it slightly but the original was made by Michelle Last (UK demo). I think it’s so soothing and calming. The Apothecary Art Stamp Set is one that I have not used in a long time and had forgotten how beautiful it is. If you noticed the pearls, they reflect the darker color (Island Indigo) and… Read More »
