bloomin’ birthday…

Share What You Love - Happy Birthday by Tammy C. Wilson

05.26.18…I am having the best time ever with all of the amazing new colors and products from the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! catalog!  And…I could wait to use my new Petal Pink Cardstock to make this Spring-themed birthday card.  Oddly enough…today it’s 48 degrees outside, dark, rainy, and almost wintry.  Hey…I’m not complaining though, summer is literally just around the corner, and it’ll be 100+ degrees before you know it!

fabulous you…

Picture Perfect Birthday - Fabulous You by Tammy C. Wilson

05.20.18… It’s funny how you can have a stamp set for quite awhile, and you keep thinking to yourself ,” I need to use that stamp set soon!”… but you keep putting other stamps sets and projects ahead of it.

with gratitude…

Garden Impressions - With Gratitude by Tammy C. Wilson (2)

05.20.18…  As everyone knows, gratitude can be expressed in so many different ways. One of the ways I enjoy showing my gratitude (even for the smallest things) is sending a handmade card.  That being said, I couldn’t wait to open up my new Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper, and create this cheerful, sunny card!

Detailed with Love - Life is Sweeter by Tammy C. Wilson

05.12.18… I just received my box of pre-order items from the new 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  Was I super excited…kind of like it was Christmas morning?  Um…yeah! Are the new products absolutely amazing?  You betcha!  Did I waste any time before I started using all  of my brand new, amazing goodies?  That would be a “No”!

Share What You Love - Celebrate the Good Stuff by Tammy C. Wilson

05.06.18… I always enjoy celebrating the “good stuff”, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary,  wedding,  graduation, or just because! A handmade card is such a wonderful way to show that special someone that the “good stuff” is special to you as well!

good friends…

Background Bits - Friend by Tammy C. Wilson

05.06.18… Whether you have that one extra special bestie (…or several) in your life, it’s always nice to show your appreciation for  them, whenever you can.  I love creating individual cards for each of my friends, that not only express my appreciation of our friendship, but their personality as well.  That being said, this card is one ofthose special creations.  I not only used a color combo that I knew would suit my friend just perfectly, but I also used a mix of patterns, shapes and textures that reflect her taste as well.

Fruit Basket - You are the Sweetest by Tammy C. Wilson

04.29.18… The Fruit Basket stamp set is such a favorite of mine!  I’ve used it to create some of “the sweetest” cards and projects.  If you “‘pear” this stamp set with the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper and the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack (as I did with this card) you can’t go wrong!

lovely inspiration…

20180422_122000-1

04.22.18… On my last post, I used a small strip of dandelion-patterned paper from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper Pack.  Well…..that little strip of paper inspired me to create a few more cards using that same paper, along with some daisy-patterned paper (..also from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper Pack) thrown into the mix.

a birthday thank you…

All Things Thanks - Birthday Thank You by Tammy C. Wilson

04.22.18… I’ve always thought that it’s so convenient to have extra birthday cards on hand.  However….I think it’s even more important to have thank you cards made ahead of time as well.  How many times have you received a gift from a friend, and then thought…..I really don’t need to send them a thank you card, because I’ve already told them “thanks”.  And besides…who doesn’t love to receive a handmade card…no matter what the occassion!
