  • From Scraps to Cards

    Do you keep your scraps of patten papers? Do they sit in a container waiting for the right idea?  Well, let me share with you what I did.  I got tired of seeing my small container overflowing with scraps, so I set my sites on turning those scraps into cards.  I dumbed the scrap pile…

  • Card For A New Friend

    I created this card for a man that I meant at our art center where we see various musical performances.  He sits next to me, 94 years old and is still quite sharp.  He seems a little grumpy, but we chatted, and I asked him just that and he responded with a smile.  I knew…

  • Quick Sympathy Card

    Today I created two sympathy cards which are the hardest to do.  One is for a dear friend of mine whose mom passed away and the other for one of our neighbors who lived in The Villages. I used the Ink and Tiled stamp set from Stampin' Up! on Lost Lagoon as a base and…

  • The Start of Hanukkah

    Today is the beginning of Hanukkah starting this evening and running for 8 days.  I created this card for a friend and a neighbor for their celebration of their Jewish faith.  I hope you enjoy this card and please share. Stampin' Up! created this stamp set which was released in November.  Here is a link…

    I love this stamp set and enjoyed creating this card.  And the best part is this stamp set is carrying over into the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Here is a link to the list of products I used to create this card as well as my online store.  

  • Positive Thoughts for beginners

    This card was also designed with the beginner stamper in mind.  This design is easy, plus we get to do a little fussy cutting, which by the way, is using your paper snips to cut out designs.  In this case three flowers!

  • Won’t You Join me for S.I.P.

    Watch as I create two identical cards using Stamps, Ink, & Paper to showcase how colors can make one card look different than the other.

  • Butterflies and Spring

    Do you love when spring arrives? So do the butterflies? Here is a card inspired by a few butterflies in my backyard.  It's a Good Luck card and I thought the Butterflies would be appropriate.  The card is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 using Coastal Cabana CS and ink along with…

  • Thank You Cards

    Do you have a need to sometimes make larger cards?  I did as my husband asked me to make larger than normal cards for an upcoming trip to Switzerland with 18 MBA students.  They will be visiting business for 5 days and needed a Thank You card which could hold 18 signatures and remarks from…
