    Clean & Simple

    I made today's card using Clean and Simple Card Sketch FTL #56.  As you can see I didn't exactly stick to the original sketch. Here's the sketch: But I did keep it clean and simple.  I am beginning to love this type of card because they are so easy and quick to make.  For the flower…

    Happy Everything

    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…

  • Thoughts and Prayers

    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…

    Scenic Season

    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…

    Thinking of you

    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….

  • Medallion

    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…

  • Simply Said

    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…

  • Thoughts and Prayers

    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…

  • Clearly Thanks

    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…
