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.
a birthday thank you…
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!
make a wish…
04.07.18… It’s always nice to have extra birthday cards on hand, especially if you have younger children. When my kids were in elementary school (they are now 25 and 28 years old), it seemed like there was a birthday party every other weekend! You’ll want to make this card in multiples, and you’ll be ready to “grab-n-go” whenever those parties popup!
