Flower Patch day 4
Welcome to day 4 of the "Flower Patch" blast! This card is a bit more involved because of the cutting for the layers of the flower. I used the coordinating Framelit to cut out the bottom layer, and used scissors to fussy cut the other two layers on the...
Flower Patch day 3
Welcome to the third day in the week-long blast focused on the Flower Patch stamp set. This card helped me to fall in love with Blackberry Bliss which is one of the newest In Colors. It is such a deep, rich color and it is just gorgeous paired with Mossy Meadow here....
Flower Patch day 2
Welcome to day 2 of my Flower Patch series. This card doesn't even have a single flower on it - what's up with that?!? This card was probably about as challenging to put together as the one that I shared on Monday. The only thing that made this one a teensy...
Flower Patch day 1
I decided to focus all of my posts this week on a single stamp set. I'm hoping that this will help show the versatility of the set and perhaps provide some inspiration along the way. Frankly, this was a tip that I found on a site with suggestions for crafting...
Wishing for the sea
I created this card the other evening so I could participate in a sketch challenge this week. The challenge is for a Stampin' Up! demonstrator group that I belong to, and I'm very happy that I was able to meet the deadline. I typically don't have my act...

I recently purchased the Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks and I've been itching to give them a try. The card to the left is what I came up with for my first attempt. I used a really old color challenge from my favorite site for the color scheme on this card. I...
July 15th Excitement
There are so many things to share with you today that I'm not quite sure where to start! This beautiful stamp set will be featured in the Holiday Mini catalog that is coming out at the end of August. Stampin' Up! has released this set early so you can get a...
The fence in the back yard
I have seen several cards posted on the internet that use the Hardwood stamp to create a fence as a backdrop for a scene. One example had each of the "slats" cut apart and sponged on the edges before they were put back on (with a small gap) to create the fence. I...
Get Well Flowers
I recently took an inventory of the cards that I have on hand for sending on the spur of the moment. I discovered that I have plenty of birthday cards, but a very sad shortage of "get well" and "sympathy" cards. So, don't be surprised if you...
Supporting USA Soccer
I know that the United States is out of the World Cup, but they came to mind when I was thinking about this card. The sentiment says "You've got courage, you've got strength, you've got ME." The team certainly doesn't need any of my...
