Sympathy card

One of my co workers Sandy just asked me what my card site was and I had to admit to her that I hadn't posted anything since Christmas! Now I have to thank her for motivating me to post a card I recently made.

Unfortunately my sister in law lost her mother recently and I wanted to make her a nice sympathy card.

I used Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and ink to make it.  The flower bunch comes from a retired stamp set but you could use any pretty flower arrangement for this type of card.The sentiment is from our petite pairs stamp set that has sentiments for many occasions.

I finished it up with a piece of our 5/8 Organza ribbon which is my go to ribbon for cards.

I hope this card inspires you like Sandy helped inspire me!  To check out my online store just click on the button to the right.  Happy Stampin!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

I wanted to post a card today.  This is the one I sent out to family.

I used two different Stampin' Up embossing folders and the ornament punch.  I used washi tape to make the ornament.  The sentiment was an old one I had that I love.

I hope all my followers have a wonderful holiday season!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

This card is made with the Stampin' Up Best of Halloween

Stamp set.  I made the background paper by blending different colors

together and then stamping with black ink.  It was a lot of fun making the background 

paper because each piece is colored a little different from the other.  The sunburst

pattern is a great way to highlight your focal design in the circle.  I had a lot of fun making this 

card and you could use this design for any occasion.

This design is being entered in to this week's Paper Plunge challenge.  Check out all the entries

Sending Good Thoughts

Don't you love the bright colors in this card?  Coastal Cabana is the lovely blue/turquoise color.
You can see I used the polka dot embossing folder for some texture and the ever
popular banner die to cut out the stamped saying.  I hope this bright cheerful card inspires some creativity in you today!  Remember, you can shop 24/7 at my Stampin' Up store or just look through any of the catalogs to the right to get some great ideas!  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Stampin'!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This card I cased from Brandyscards.com.  It uses the Stampin' Up Truly Grateful stamp set to make your own designer paper for the background.  The colors include baked brown sugar, so saffron, and cajun craze.  I used the burlap ribbon to layer over the background paper and added the Happy Thanksgiving stamp from the Tags 4 U stamp set.  With the help of the matching label bracket punch, I was able to punch out the tag and add it on to a few layers to stand out over the burlap ribbon.  Someone told me the front looked like a Pilgrims belt!  I laughed and said it wasn't planned that way but what a great idea!   You can pick up any of these great Stampin' Up supplies by hitting my button on the top right and it will take you to my store!

Watercolor Thank You Card

I love this Thank you stamp from Stampin' Up!

It is called the Watercolor Thank You stamp.

I used the new DSP paper in the new in-color Blackberry. 

 One of my new fav colors.

The flowers are from the new stamp set 'Beautiful Bunch' and 

they have a matching punch which I just love!  It is soooo easy to stamp the

flowers in your favorite colors and then punch them out.  You can buy them as a

bundle and save 15%.  Just click on the button to the right and you can shop at my
