05.26.18…I’ve got to admit, I’ve been really good these last few weeks, as far as using up most of my extra pieces of Designer Series Paper…before it all retires at the end of this month.
bloomin’ birthday…
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…
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…
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!
life is sweeter…
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”!
celebrate the good stuff…
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…
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.
the sweetest little pears…
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!
share what you love…
05.22.18… “You’re the Best” is something that everyone loves to hear! And….. do you what else is “the best”? The brand NEW Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Catalog! That’s right, my friends…..it’s almost here! The NEW Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 catalog goes “live” on June 1, 2018, but wait…..there’s more! Stampin’ Up is offering an early release of the Share What You Love Suite, which run from May 1 – 31, 2018. You won’t want to miss it!
Once I received some of the products from the Share What You Love Suite, I couldn’t wait Continue reading “share what you love…”
lovely inspiration…
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.
