03.04.18… Today has been a dark, snowy, rainy day where I live (oh…and did I mention the hail, too!), so I thought I create something bright, fun, and cheery!  And…what a better product bundle to use than the Fruit Basket Bundle (includes the Fruit Basket stamp set and the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack at a 10% discount) from thelatest Occasions catalog!  With the ever-so-handy Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack (used to perfectly punch out your stamped fruit images) and the coordinating Tutti-Frutti 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Pack…..you’ll be in lemon heaven!

03.04.18… I love the new Fruit Basket Stamp Set and the coordinating Tutti-Fruitti 6×6 Designer Series Paper Stack.  This stamp set has such cute little fruit stamps, but also some great little sentiment stamps that you can use throughout theyear!

02.24.18… A Good Day is the name of the sweetest little stamp set in the newest Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog.  I decided to use it to create some sweet and simple 3″ x 3″ cards…..just right for a gift enclosure, thank you card, or just because!

I stamped the images in Basic Gray, and chose to “stamp off” once before stamping each image on Whisper White cardstock.  I liked the softer touch that it gave Continue reading “a good day…” →

02.19.18… I’ve created several cards using the new Lots of Lavender stamp set, which you can earn for FREE (with a purchase of $50 or more) during  Sale-A-Bration.  This time however, I thought I’d give my Lots of Lavender card a new twist, and use a shade of pink (Blushing Bride, to be exact)  instead of  lavender or purple.
