Circle Circus Card

I’m having so much fun playing with the new Circle Circus stamp set! It’s so fun to stamp the circles, punch them out, and create all kinds of fun cards and projects! For this card, I used bashful clue, certainly celery and basic gray. I added a little bling with a brad from the silver…

Soft Summer

What a pretty image the new stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog, Soft Summer creates. This is one of the sample cards from the mini catalog.   I love the two-step stamping that makes it easy to create a watercolor effect.  I used a blender pen and some ink from the riding hood red…

True Friend Card

As soon as I saw the butterfly in Simple Friendship in the new catalog,  I knew I had to get it!  I love the butterfly!  I also had to get all the new Sizzix texture plates.  It’s hard to tell from this picture, but I used the swirl texture on the baja breeze.  It adds…

Urban Garden Cards

Sweet Stems

This is one of the cards that we made at my New Catalog Open House.  I saw it in Stampin’ Success, Stampin’ Up!’s newsletter.  It is 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.  I love the new emosslits dies that emboss and cut out the images.  They are so fun!  I also used the new eyelet border…

Ribbon Threading

This is one of the projects by Jessica we did at our meeting last week that I promised to show you.  It is super cute and easy to create the ribbon flower.  You start by punching a hole in the middle and at the end of each petal.  You thread the ribbon through the center…

Valentine’s Day Card

This is a card I made with the Love You Much Bundle.  I really like being able to pull the colors from the Designer Series Paper so I don’t have to try to figure out what colors to put together.  I used pink pirouette, riding hood red, very vanilla, and close to cocoa as the…

Gobble, Gobble

Are you getting ready for Thanksgiving? This year, we’re going out of town to visit my parents. We’re looking forward to spending time with them. Meanwhile, I saw this cute turkey card and thought it would be fun to make. I made the turkey using punches! Isn’t that fun? I used the 1 3/8 circle…
