Valentine for a friend
We made this card at the January stamp club meeting. One of the members requested Valentine cards for that meeting, and I was happy to oblige. This card is nice and quick to put together, but it certainly doesn't look like you skimped on the effort at all. I love...
Fun Fold Hello
This pretty card features products that are in the main catalog and a super-cool Thinlet die that Stampin' Up! released in August, after the catalog came out. This one was created using the Label Card Thinlet die, and there is also a Circle Card Thinlet die. The...
It’s time to Sale-A-Brate in 2014
This annual Stampin' Up event started yesterday, and it is the BEST time in the catalog year! Every year, as we settle into the reality of a long cold winter (especially here in VT), Stampin' Up! makes special, limited time only products available to those of...
Peaceful Christmas Wishes
I admit that I adore the tri-shutter card design; the cards take a bit longer to create, but I'm always delighted with the results. This year I had to create a few special, religious cards, and this stamp set was absolutely perfect. What better wish for someone...

Punch Board Gift Card Holder
I am absolutely in love with the Envelope Punch Board! For those of you who don't know, it is a new product that Stampin' Up! released back in October. This cool new tool is so incredibly easy to use and it is pretty inexpensive, too. Every time that I...
Embossed Christmas x 2
This is yet another card that I created for the December stamp-a-stack. This one features the two types of embossing, and they are both gorgeous. The background is dry embossed with a beautiful embossing folder from the Holiday Mini catalog and the greeting is heat...
Peaceful Dove
I always love the sentiment "Peace on Earth" for holiday cards, it is really what we are called to strive for, isn't it. This card features a stamp set that came out in the Holiday catalog, and I really hope that it comes back again for next Christmas....
Another Christmas Star
Banners are the hot trend this year, and I've seen lots of card designs using them. I have seen so many sketches for cards using a trio of banners in the upper left corner that I used that element to design my own pretty simple card. I created this card as a...
Happy Christmas Star
This is the second (simpler) card that I created for the October Stamp-A-Stack. The only stamping was the star and the greeting, the rest was pretty darned quick assembly. I have thoroughly enjoyed using the star stamp as a focal point image for several holiday cards...
