Wishing You the Lovelest Day with Harvest Hello

Today’s card features a Double Dutch Door Fun Fold Card. Though I think it should be called a Triple Dutch door Fun Fold since there are 3 parts that open and close. For the card, I’m using Hello Harvest Bundle and the retired Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. I absolutely love the colors in this DSP. I typed out a sketch with score lines but closed out “Word” and… Read More »

Hello Harvest Stamp Set Slim Line Card

Fall into autumn with the Hello Harvest Stamp Set. The autumn images include a pumpkin, leaves, sunflowers, and flourishes. But that’s not all.

I was cleaning out the area where I store all my envelopes and I can across some retired Stampin’ Up! envelopes that measured 6 3/4″… Read More »

Stylish Sketches Stamp Set for a Friend

I’m using the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set for today’s project. You can get this free during Sale-a-bration (August-Dec 2022) with a qualifying order. These artistic stamp images look great as outlines, but you could also try coloring them with Stampin’ Blends for a more dramatic look. Well, I’ve had an exciting (certainly not boring) couple of weeks since I last posted. On Wednesday, 5 July, I went in for a… Read More »

My “go to” for casing is the Stampin’ Up! catalogs. Their pages are filled with beautiful samples and they are there for you to use as is or change it a little to make it your own.

Potted Geraniums and Why I Love Them!

What’s Happening this Month: Join the Fun Paper Pumpkin Pick of the Crop Last Chance – last day is 31 May 2022 Geraniums will always remind me of my grandmother. She loved geraniums and had them in the front yard and next to the driveway (other side of car).

Miss You by Peekaboo Farm Cuties!

I had so much fun making this card! I love the cute, adorable farm animals in the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. You can create so many cute cards – choose from a cow, pig, horse, and more! Though it does have a stone fence stamp in the set, I used the Picture This Die so that the cuties are peeking out! The images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink onto… Read More »

It also includes a duck and a chick that you can use individual or together. I also love the script font used for the sentiments in this set. If you would like to receive the free tutorial on this card and you… Read More »
