Happy Birthday

The card base is Pacific Point with two punched butterflies accented with tiny pearls. The label is the Pretty Label Punch with the matching stamp set.


Hope you like it. It makes a cheerful birthday card.

Until next time!

First try...

My friend and SU recruit, Karen, introduced me to Watercolor using Stampin Up re-inkers with some very interesting YouTube videos! So... this is my first attempt. I like the style BUT I think rather than the Aqua Painter, I'd like to try it with a brush and water.


Basic Grey is the card base and Smokey Slate the mat; watercolor paper for the image. I used three candy dots to enhance the card and Bright Wishes 143827 for the stamp and it is a perfect stamp to color.
Gotta run and try it again!

BTW I probably won't be posting this week. I have to work and we have kids two days!

Until next time!

Happy Retirement

Don't you just love the netting on this card. Sorry to say it is NOT Stampin Up but I still used it. My stampin friend had this die and it is so masculine.


Tranquil Tide is the base of this card. I think the name of the paper says it all! The stamp set is retired but I did use the Brusho to create an under water look. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time!

Tailored Tag

I love this new punch, Tailored Tag. I have seen quilts made with this similar design and this fit the bill.


The colors compliment each other - Lemon Lime Twist and Dapper Denim (retired). The leaf and sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases. I added the little heart for accent.

Thanks for coming by and comment welcome!

Until next time!

Another 6 x 6 card

Another great embossing folder my stampin' friend had so we cut one and had to make a card. The card is 6 x 6 and the message is Thanks A Latte! Love it.


Of course as you know, I love coffee so this is a perfect card for me. The paper is Stampin Up and the acrylic dots. Enjoy!

Until next time!

Large Door Card

I made this card 6 x 6 since the embossing folder is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. This is NOT a Stampin Up folder but really neat.


Wild colors! Fresh Fig is the door and the mat - Painted with Love Designer paper.

Anywho...I made a small wreath for this door. I think it should be bigger. It would be a great sympathy card, note card (lots of room to write), birthday card - and more.

Until next time!

Garden Girl

BTW - Happy Valentine's Day

This lovely 'Garden Girl' can be used for a get well card, thinking of you card, sympathy card, and of course, birthday; Easter too.





She is in the Annual Catalog on page 168. Too cute to pass up and a must-have! Love to color and am learning with each card.

The sentiment is from A Good Day from the mini-Occasions catalog! Thanks for coming by and comments welcome!

Until next time!

Happy Valentine

I made this for one of my Lineman friend. They have been a great comfort to me since my Owen died.

The stamp set is Watts of Occasions and covers more than Valentine holidays.

I hope they like it.

Until next time!

Ornate Door

First off this is NOT a Stampin' Up Die or Embossing Folder. One of my stampin buddies gave it to me and I wanted to try it out. I love the ornate door but need to play around with a bigger card.


The Folder is exactly 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 so I made this one quickly just to test it out. Will try a different one tomorrow. It is pretty but I think with some more time it will be 'great'!

STAY DRY!

Until next time!

I'll have to make an envelope since the card is 4 x 6.5 but really cute! Love it. Hope you do too.

Until next time!

Another Sale-A-Bration Set

Amazing You is a Sale A Bration set you can earn for FREE! The card base is Tangerine Tango matted using Tranquil Tide card stock.


I used the Pool Party Blends to color the little flower and added the Enamel Dots for accent. I also added a flower to the envelope for interest. This is also a great card to use your Stamparatus! You can line up your design easily and also using the grid lines make it straight!

Note: If you color on the envelope, slide a piece of paper inside because the Alcohol Blends bleed through the paper.

Until next time!

Little Gifts

I put these together for my ladies. I prefer a white Prisma Pencil to the Gel pens. Every Gel pen I have ever used dried up after one or two uses and you can sub using the Prisma Pencil.


I used a 12 x 2 piece of designer paper and the new Tailored Tag Punch which is not just for Father's Day!!!

Stop by again and comments welcome!

Until next time!
