Giggle Greetings

Hi Stampin’ Friends Sorry I’ve been MIA the last couple of days but I’ve been really busy trying to get ready for convention.  Today’s card features the core-dinations card stock which you saw demonstrated on Sunday’s video. The card stock is awesome!  It’s sandable cardstock for an antiqued, distressed, color-popping look.  Outside layers are exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors—one side textured, one side smooth. Inside layer monochromatic color.   You can reveal… Read More »

So Shabby Chic!

Hi Stampin’ Friends I want to wish my granddaughter, Rachel, a very, very Happy 7th Birthday! On the way to Wal-Mart for groceries yesterday morning, we kept encountering dead armadillos on the road  AKA  Arkansas Speed Bumps or according to my husband a “Good Armadillo”!  The North American nine-banded armadillo tends to jump straight in the air when surprised, and consequently often collides with the undercarriage or fenders of passing vehicles. … Read More »

Amazing Friend

Hi Stampin’ Friends I changed the sentiment on my card – see original post here.  I like it so much more with the “correct” sentiment stamped in Gumball Green.  I used the Amazing Family Clear Mount Stamp Set.  This set is very vintage and on trend.  So versatile–and perfect for family birthday cards because it has the words mother, father, brother and sister.  . Coordinates with the Amazing Accent Stampin’ Around… Read More »

Happy Day

Hi Stampin’ Friends Have you heard the saying “Dog Days of Summer”?  That usually happens in August around here but it’s that hot now!  Oh well, it’s a good excuse to stay indoors and work on my beloved cards! Since I had the Modern Medley DSP out, I decided to use it again today but give it a shabby chic look.  Check out the Masculine card I made yesterday with the… Read More »

Blooming with Kindness

Hi Stampin’ Friends I wanted to share the only picture I have that was taken during my birthday party.  It is of the 4 Rachel’s in our family.  It is not a good picture because my granddaughter would not get out of the pool and dry off to take the picture.  Oh well! Left to right (my niece, aunt, me and granddaughter) For today’s card, I decided to go shabby… Read More »

Happy Birthday to my best friend Becky

Hi Stampin' Friends It seems like such a long time since I've posted a card!  I made this card for my best friend Becky but couldn't share it before I gave it to her. The card show cases the Artisan Embellishments Kit which did not make it into the new catalog.  I will have to stock up on this kit because I love using it for my cards.  The leaves… Read More »
