Diaper Card

I know it has been a while since I posted but life has been busy around here! Will try to do better.

A friend wanted a diaper card and so I made this using a Hallmark sample with my Silhouette. I used retired Stampin' Up Designer Paper and the diaper pin punch, retired as well... But it makes a great baby shower inviation card.

I thought I would throw in a picture of a diaper cake I made recently for a friend of mine!


And last but not least my DIL sent me a Pinterest post of a Christmas sleigh and this is my attempt! (which my grandson has already eaten!)


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Until next time!

Inspired and CASE'd by a Michelle Zindorf creation. Don't you just love it! This card uses the new DSP Sweater Weather in the Holiday Mini 132184 and the new Expressions Thinlits - 132171. I also made a matching envelope using the Envelope Liner Framelits 132172 (not pictured).

Need some inspiration?  Check out what the design team created HERE

Looking forward to seeing your work; come play along!  Thanks for looking.

Washi Christmas

The new Washi tape from Stampin' Up is really catching on! I used the Season of Style 132155 to make this easy & quick Christmas card on a Very Vanilla base! The sentiment is from More Merry Messages (a carry-over 126402) and the card is accented with a Baker's Twine Bow! Hope you like it.


Yep, the ornament punch is retired which was one of my favorites! And the embossing folder too but any one will do! The scan does not do the card justice.

Until next time!

All-in-One Christmas Card

Well Ladies here is your all-in-one quick and easy Christmas card!

I used Remembering Christmas (131763) and our new InColor Baked Brown Sugar for this card. This set is only 13.95 for the clear one (super BUY) and it is great for COMPLETELY making the card. The inside reads 'Remembering you at Christmas and wishing you the best in the new year' which is of course included in the set.



I added 3 Soft Suede candy dots for accent and the printed paper is from the InColor 130136 Paper Stack. The matching envelope just adds to its charm! Envelope Liner Thinlit and Very Vanilla Envelopes! OK now I have to run and get BUSY for my SAS on Saturday and Punchie Thursday!

PS: Makes a great Masculine card!

Until next time!

Thinlits Card Dies!

I would like to introduce our new Thinlit Dies!  Mine are on the way but I don’t have them yet so I thought I’d share a short video clip Stampin’ Up! made to show how the new Thinlit Dies work.


I can’t wait to give these a try, can you?  I see a fun Funky Fold Class coming in the future with these dies!
If there is something you would like to see on the schedule, this would be a great time to contact me!


Thank you for stopping by to visit today!

Until next time!

Time flies...

WOW Where does the time go! Life seems to be catching up with me and I have less & less time to spend on my stamping.

I made this card using the new (improved) World Background Stamp from SU now available for ordering. Gumball green is the base with an Island Indigo mat. I used Baker's twine and a silver button for accent along with the punches from the NEW Chevron Border Punch. The pennant is from this month's Paper Pumpkin!

Until next time!
