From Olive Garden to So Tweet

It’s my coworker’s birthday and I was in charge of the gift.  When it came time to wrap it up, I realized I didn’t have an appropriate bag to put it in because it needed to be quite large and I didn’t feel like driving back to Target and spending over $5 for one.  So I used [...]

Stamp Club projects for April

We made 3 cards this month, 2 of which I’ll show here. I thought this cute Flower Pot card, which I’ve seen all over on different blogs and on Splitcoast, would be perfect for Mother’s Day.  I saw one card that used these die cut flowers and thought it was the perfect time to bring them out and [...]

I know, I’ve been gone for awhile

No, I haven’t gone on vacation (I wish!), or gotten sick (so glad!) like some of you may be thinking (waving to Barb!!).  But I’ll be back to posting tomorrow (that’s the plan) with tonight’s Stamp Club projects.  I am still busy prepping!
But, in the meantime, head on over to my friend Cori’s blog for some [...]

I got nothin’ (original) for ya in the way of a title

Here’s a card made into the shape of a house, because my friend just moved.  I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment for a new home, so I just used the “thinking of you”.  I just love the simplicity of these Trendy Trees!  I can’t get enough of them. 
I used the Texturz embossing plate on the [...]

Not to be outdone by the boys…

…here’s a baby girl card using the exact same layout as the last post.  In fact, I even used the same package of paper – the Walk in the Park DSP!  Since I didn’t have any Pink Pirouette textured card stock, I used my Texturz plate to make a polka dot texture on the front of the [...]

Loving that Walk in the Park paper!

Here’s a simple card using the gorgeous Walk in the Park paper from the Occasions Mini catalog – a scalloped square of several patterns make a pretty background for the letters spelling b.a.b.y.  Yes, the cutting out and applying small pieces of stampin’ dimentionals WAS a pain, but I really love cutting, so it’s right up [...]

Here comes Peter Cottontail…

…hopping down the bunny trail…trip.  Oh that just cracked my son up when I told him that one!  I have the 8″x8″ Cosmo Cricket paper pad and when I saw this I just had to throw it on a card.  Super easy and I used the new scallop oval punch (in the Occasions Mini) and large oval punch, to frame [...]

A wee bit of sewing

Each month I give my stamp club girls a challenge of some kind.  Sometimes I give them an item to use on a project, sometimes I have them do a certain technique or use a certain something on a project, and bring it to stamp club for a chance to win a small prize.  This month’s challenge [...]

A Great Friend

One of the first things I wanted from the Occasions Mini catalog is this stamp set, called Great Friend.  I just love every image/sentiment in there!  It’s so elegant and timeless.  I found this card layout on the SU! website and used some of the colors from the new Designer Series Paper, Walk in the [...]

Yes, another owl card

I had this little leftover piece of embossed dots paper and wanted to use it, so I paired it with this little owl from the Hostess Level 3 stamp set, Goody Goody Gumdrops.  I think he’s so cute!  I shamelessly CASEd Alli Miles’ card here – oh how I love her style!   I used the yummy Sweet [...]

“Cutie” baby card

I had this piece of white card stock, embossed with those awesome tiny dots sitting on my desk – begging to be used.  I wanted to do something different, so I decided to go with a scalloped card.  I needed several baby cards so thought I should get to work on those.  This is for [...]

Peek-a-boo…thinking of you

If you’ve followed my blog very much, you might know how infatuated I am with owl images.  I don’t want a real one, I just like images of owls – especially whimsical ones.  This little guy is another one of the Forest Friends in the stamp set from the Occasions Mini catalog.
I colored him with markers [...]
