Stampin' Up Window Sheets


Stampin' Up Window Sheets make for wonderful cards and boxes. This card was created using a medium window sheet. I have used the heavy window sheets to make boxes. Stazon or craft ink can be used to stamp on the sheet so the image will not smear. Recently I made several clear boxes and filled them with tags. I simply tied a bow on the top and they turned out very elegant looking. Snowflakes were stamped in the craft white ink on this card. Enjoy!

Got Merry?

Fun holiday gifts and treats are a cinch with the new stamp set Got Treats (available in both clear mount and wood mount) and the new Mini Milk Carton die cut! This little milk carton was so easy to make. I filled it with Hershey's miniatures and added a clip and a bow tied with old olive ribbon. Enjoy! All products are available in the big catalog.

Merry & Bright Christmas Tag


Here's a Christmas tag I copied from the new December issue of Stampin' Success. It was fun to make. Stamp sets used are Bright Christmas and Paisley Prints (both can be found in the Holiday mini and are available in both clear mount and wood mount). I also used the two tags Bigz die, Polka Dot embossing folder and extra large scallop circle punch. Topped it off with a new sparkle brad. All supplies are from Stampin' Up and can be found in the big catalog. Colors used were real red and pear pizzazz. Enjoy!

Wellness Wishes


I am on a roll this afternoon of making cards. I had several I needed to send out and since it is such a dreary rainy day, I can't think of anything better to do. This is a card I made for my husband's uncle, who just underwent surgery. We hope to visit him soon. I used the Wellness Wishes stamp set. I got this set for free last year during Sale-A-Bration. During Sale-A-Bration a person can earn free stamp sets for every $50 they spend. I am hopeful this set will be available again this year. So, watch out for the new, upcoming Sale-A-Bration brochure. I will post as soon as I can in January. This set can be found in the big catalog and is available now. It contains three sentiments for those who are sick. Makes great get well soon cards. Enjoy!

Because I Care


This is card I made this afternoon for a friend who is undergoing cancer treatments. The sentiment Because I Care were exactly the words I was looking for. This is a Hostess Level 1 stamp set. By hosting a workshop or joining our monthly technique club (which starts in January) you can earn this set for free. It is a beautiful awesome set. This card honestly took me less than 5 minutes to make. I also used the top note die to cut out the shape. For the flower, I dipped the top half in Lavender Lace ink which is now retired and bottom half in Wild Wasabi ink and then stamped! So easy and quick. This card says it all. Enjoy!

Always Elegant Anniverary


Always Elegant is one of those beautiful elegant and yet fun stamp sets. It is very economical and is available in clear mount 120477 and wood mount 116976. Is used it to make an anniversary card for my brother and sister-in-law. I used a blender pen with the chalks to color in some tiny spots. The Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (115370) was used for the sentiment. I used the scallop trim border (118402) for the corners. I used Elegant Soiree DSP (117163) which is one of my new favorite paper packs. For finishing touches, I added white ribbon and spritzed my card with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (118772). A couple of pearls completed the card. Enjoy!
