Is it Halloween or is it Thanksgiving?

This started out as a Halloween card and a spooky one at that. Half way through this card I had to run some errands and didn’t get back to it until the next day. I started to think how cute the pumpkins from Pretty Pumpkins Stamp Set would look in front of the trees from the Welcoming Woods Stamp Set. Has that happened to you? Where you change your mind… Read More »

Nature’s Harvest – a Fun Card to Make

Fun with the Nature’s Harvest Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I used to think cone flowers came in only pink but I’ve learned since that they come in yellow, pink and purple. For today’s card, I’m making it yellow cone flowers because it reminds me of fall. I paired it with Cajun Craze and So Succulent, two of my favorite colors for Autumn. Card Measurements: Base card: Soft Succulent Cardstock 8… Read More »

Pretty Pumpkins in Blue

For today’s card, I decided to create a card using the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle. The stamp set features pumpkins, vines, and leaves images that are designed to be stamped and layered. The vines are mirror images so you can stamp a long or short line of pumpkins and bookend them with the vines.  The die set includes open dies for solid pumpkins and textured and intricate pumpkins. What I did:… Read More »

Sailing Home

It’s Monday and time for a masculine card. Masculine cards are so easy and fun with the new Sailing Home Bundle from Stampin’ Up! I’d say that this is my favorite masculine stamp set – I think because my husband and I were sailors when we lived in California. We loved sailing out to the Channel Islands whether it was a quick 2 day trip or a week of fun!… Read More »

Happy Birthday Tanner

It’s Monday and that means it’ time for a masculine card. For today’s post, I’m using a digital image and it’s for my grandson, Tanner’s, birthday. He’s going to be 27 years old – I can’t believe how fast time flies. And, of course, I had to get into my favorite stash of paper for masculine cards! The DSP I used for the background is called Plaid Tidings 6″ x… Read More »

It’s Masculine Monday and time for a manly card! For today’s project I decided to case from the catalog using the new Etched in Nature Stamp Set. This was given to all participants in the On-Tour live event this month.
