Today's post includes a card that was very easy and quick to make. I used the new Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. I love the colors in it, especially Elegant Eggplant. Today's card doesn't include that color because I wanted to keep it masculine and most men would not want a birthday card that had purple in it! I stamped Happy Birthday (using the stamp-a-ma-jig, of course) on Sahara Sand… Read More »
Today's card is clean and simple – the most popular type of card as determined by you (my readers!). See next post for survey results. We'll be making this card at next week's stamp camp so if you live in the area (Bella Vista, AR) and would like to attend, please e-mail me. The base card was made by running a 4 1/4" x 11" folded in half through the… Read More »
It's 90 degrees outside, I'm playing James Blunt "You're Beautiful" on my IPOD and I'm making Christmas Cards! Life does not get better than this! Today's card is for my Christmas in July class on 2 September 2009. This card is cased from the catalog (page 35). I changed a couple of things, i.e., ribbon is different and the sentiment is a different color than the trees. At the Christmas… Read More »
Today's post includes a card I made for my Stamp Camp scheduled for 26 August 2009 at my home in Bella Vista, AR. So if you live in the area and would like to attend, please contact me. To me, a sympathy card calls for clean and simple lines and that's what this one is. No embellishments, layers or multicolors. I cannot remember where I got the sketch but it… Read More »
I finally received my Medallion background stamp. I had been saving the Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper for that special stamp and decided to use the Medallion background stamp with it. I am not very happy with the way it is stamping. I can't get it dark enough nor a clear dark image and I was using basic black. I tried sanding the stamp, using the brayer to make sure the… Read More »
I'm working on a couple of projects that I can't talk about today – shhhhh – it's a surprise. Stay tune for more information around the end of the month. I decided to make a very simple but elegant card for today's post. I pulled out my poor neglected Simply Said stamp set and used the sentiment from it. I like this sentiment and if I decide to sell my… Read More »
I decided to make a simple card today. As you can see, it doesn't include any embellishments other than the three half pearls. Also, you can't see it here but I scored a line all around the card (about 1/2 inch from the edges). I inked up the image with Baja Breeze and then stamped it on Whisper White card stock. The half pearls (baby blue) are from my local scrapbook… Read More »
Today's post includes a simple card I made in less than ten minutes. The DSP is from Urban Oasis which is retiring 30 June. No stamping is involved and it only has one layer. The sentiment was computer generated. Though you can't see it, I ran Kraft craft card stock through the Top Note Die and adhered it to the inside. Thanks for visiting!

Stampin' Up!s printed window sheets offer beautiful designs that you can cut out and use on 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (my favorite size) card front. The package includes 4 designs on 2 sheets with the images in Whisper White. They make quick (and I mean quick!) simple but elegant cards. It took all of five minutes to make today's card. Just what you need when you find out you… Read More »
Today's card is for my grandson, Tanner. I cannot believe he is graduating from the eighth grade and will be in high school next year. Time flies by so fast! This is one of the stamp sets that will be retiring this year. If you have been wanting this set and have not gotten around to purchasing it, now is the time to do it! The paper I used for this… Read More »
