A Birthday Rose
I found this card on the web and CASE'd it for my stamp club gals a few months ago. You could have heard a pin drop while the participants were filling in the black outline with the various pieces of cardstock to create this gorgeous rose. There was a bit of...
Happy Birthday Colin Firth
Who knew that today is Colin Firth's birthday?!? I hope that he has a fantastic day celebrating. He has become such an inspirational actor, that I'm very excited to commemorate his special day (at least virtually). I actually had the stamp club gals make this card at...
Marquee Birthday
This card is actually a CASE of a card that was shared by Sara Douglass (CEO of Stampin' Up!) at the On Stage event back in April. This is a stamp set that was new with the big catalog release in June, and it is perfect for the paper piecing technique. Her sample...
Cable Knit Paper
As I shared the other day, the Holiday Catalog products are now available from Stampin' Up! and there are some gems to be had. I tried to be wiser with my money this time when I placed my pre-order, and focused on fewer products that I knew that I could use right...
Congrats Banner
I created this card a couple of months ago for a demonstrator swap to have samples from new stamp sets in the "new" big catalog. I also re-purposed this card for the card buffet that I held back in June. I love it when I can get more than one use out of a...

Holiday 2016 Catalog Launch
Today is the big day! The new Holiday catalog products are now available, and there are some truly amazing items in this gorgeous catalog. As a demonstrator I was able to pre-order some goodings during August and I have had fun playing with the items in the Petals...
Thoughtful Christmas
The other day I mentioned that I would be sharing another card featuring the Thoughtful Branches bundle - well, this is it. This is the second card that I created for the stamp club gals for our August meeting. It was a warm evening, but I think they appreciated...
Hydrangea card
When I saw all the samples online featuring a pretty hydrangea I couldn't wait to make one myself. Mid-late August is the time that we vacationed in Cape Cod for several years. So, I had to commemorate those trips by making a blue hydrangea which are in full bllom...
Swirly Bird Flowers
I created this card back in June for a demonstrator only new catalog swap. I actually used two new stamp sets for this card - the greeting is from Layering Love, and the rest of the stamps are from Swirly Bird. I used the masking technique on the flowers to create a...
