Your Presents – Stampin’ Up!

One of the cards we made at convention.  We used the colors Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush.  I want to make the card more like Christmas so I changed the color to Cherry Cobbler and used Gold Glimmer Paper instead of the Silver Glimmer Paper. The stamp set is called Your Presents and it’s so versatile.  You can also use it for birthdays or any occasion that calls for a… Read More »

Top Note Snowmen – Stampin’ Up!

Bringing back an old favorite die – the Top Note Bigz Die.  Sometimes we have so many tools that we neglect the older ones.   At least, in my case, this is true. I dusted it off and decided to use it for my money holders this year.  I have 3 teenage grandchildren in California and I know that they love getting money much more than a present from me. The… Read More »

Christmas Bauble Stampin’ Up!

Have you ever had one of those days when you just can’t make a card?  For me, today was the day!  I was experimenting with a watercolor background (night sky with purples, navy,  and red) and I just couldn’t get it right!   It’s a good thing I had several cards ready to be posted on my blog. The stamp set is called Christmas Bauble.  I combined it with the Ornamental… Read More »

Stampin’ Up! Ornament Pine

This is one of the cards the ladies at the Holiday Island Class will be making tomorrow.  Since they are all beginners, I thought I would keep it sweet and simple.   I cased the card from page 27 of the Holiday Catalog.  The stamp set is called Ornamental Pine. Change the color of the base card from Soft Sky to Bermuda Bay because I felt the baker’s twine contrasted a… Read More »

Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Pine

I love the Ornamental Pine Stamp Set for it’s simple design. I’m still using the Color Sprtizer Tool even though it’s retired.   It’s one of my favorite tools to use and so much easier than filing a Stampin Sprizer and filling it with water and color ink (for me anyway!). If you have any questions about any of the cards I make, please give me a shout – I would… Read More »
