Holy Heat Wave!
Hello friends. Today's card was inspired by this crazy heat wave that we are experiencing out here in the pacific northwest. Supposed to get into triple digits today and tomorrow. Sheesh...that's HOT. This card was created using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and the coordinating punch called the Ice Cream Cone Builder punch. This punch makes it so easy to create these adorable treats for your card. The design for this card was CASE'd (CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything) straight from the annual catalog - with a couple modifications that I made. If you'd like the recipe [...]
Hey! What’s Cookin’?
Hello folks. Today's card showcases the What's Cookin' stamp set which is oh so cute! This stamp and die bundle is available now in the annual catalog for $45.75. (You save 10% when you buy the bundle.) The stamps are red rubber and they are what we call "distinktive" stamps, which is an innovative stamp style that allows you to create images with great detail and depth by simply inking and stamping once! If you haven't experienced stamping with our distinktive stamp sets you are missing out. In making this card, I started with a plain white card base. The [...]
Nuts About Squirrels – So Cute!
Hello friends. The Nuts about Squirrels stamp set is what I used for today's card. This set is available now in the new mini catalog that just launched on Aug 3rd.

So, it's a perfect time to stock up on your holiday items and enjoy free products! This set does not come with dies, but the squirrels and leaves are actually pretty fast to fussy cut. And, if you're not [...]
July Paper Pumpkin – The Adventure Begins
Hello! Time to show off the July paper pumpkin kit and my alternative card designs. This is perfect for the summer and to share with your camping friends. Here is a slide show of the 8 different cards I made using this month's paper pumpkin kit. I also made a short video to show you the cards, but I did not really do a full tutorial for how I made each card...that would have been a VERY long video! So, instead I just explained what I did with each card. Hopefully that helps. Please don't hesitate to email me [...]
Bloom Where you are Planted
Hello everyone! Today I finally found some time to play with a new bundle/suite that I ordered a few weeks ago from Stampin' Up called Bloom Where you are Planted. First of all, I'm a total flower and plant person. I have several potted plants inside my home and I also love to grow my own vegetables...as long as I can keep the rabbits away! So, when I saw this suite, I knew I had to have it. Secondly, it also makes great masculine cards which I can never seem to have enough of. So, let me introduce you [...]
The Party Puffins are here!
Oh my goodness you guys...these little puffins are just the cutest. I LOVE this stamp set. I coordinated the stamps with the Pattern Party designer series paper and it's a perfect combination. Fun bright colors really set off the bold black ink from the birds. This stamp set is just $20 in the new catalog. I consider this one a must have and it has quickly become my go-to set for when I need a quick and easy birthday card design. You can order this set today in my online store. When you host a party with me or [...]
