Bloomin’ Beautiful…finally

Well, on the last day to be able to order this beautiful set (since the Mini Catalog ends today), I made a card with it!  The ribbon I used is also in the Mini catalog, and will retire as well.  It’s hard to see, but the “Bloom” definition stamp was stamped twice on the Chocolate [...]

A no-stamp card

Believe it or not, there is no stamping at all done on this card!  This card uses the rub-ons that were offered during Sale-a-Bration this year.  I feel badly, because I made it so long ago, I cannot find where I saw this card, but I do believe I CASEd the layout of one I saw somewhere.  If you [...]

June’s Terrific Tuesday Challenge

For this month’s challenge, Cindy asked us to is to be inspired by fashion.  We got to pick out our own inspiration piece and I knew right away that I wanted to use my new shirt. 

So, here’s my card:
I like how this turned out, except that ideally I wanted to do a one-layer card [...]

Baby Boy card

Ok, so I saw this cool card the other day and had to use the layout on my own card I needed to make for one of my Stamp Club members, who just had her baby!
I just received the Nursery Necessities stamp set & Nursery Letters wheel and so I used them on this card.  I used the coluzzle [...]

A Graduation gift/inspiration holder

I made this graduation gift holder for my cousin.  I wanted a different kind of money holder and thought this idea would work well.  I decided to tuck a bill into each pocket, along with different quotes suitable for a graduating senior.  I really like how it turned out!

I used the retired “Outlaw” DS paper from [...]

A masculine “Thank You”

I needed a masculine card, which is hard to do for me.  So I used a bird image instead of something like a flower.  I used my new Basic Grey paper that I picked up at the CK Convention.
This bird is from the Always set.  I first stamped his feet only on the lighter patterned paper.  [...]

3 punched flowers card

I remember seeing a card using this idea but for the life if me cannot find it now.  I thought it was so cute that someone used the Boho Blossoms punch to punch out 3 white flowers and put different colored eyelets in each middle.  If someone knows where I saw this, please let me know [...]

Spring Solitude Fabulous

I saw a similar card on the Stampin’ Up! website and since I love the Spring Solitude set I patterned this card after it a bit.  I am still in the “non-hoarding” mode so used my Jersey Ribbon Originals and Flower Fusion felt flowers. 
I stamped the same 3-flowered stamp from the main image in VersaMark [...]

Wonderful You Scallop Note

I just love these little scallop notes!  They make it so easy to whip up a gift card in a matter of minutes, just like the Fresh Cuts & Love Notes (which are both on special in June – see sidebar below).
I found the template for this adorable bird by Kim Hughes (LOVE her images!) in [...]
