A Homegrown Thank You

My daughter, Jacky, needed to make a thank you card for her Great Aunt. She searched and searched and found a similar card, but did not want to totally CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it.

Magazine Inspiration

I saw a similar card in a recent papercrafts magazine and wanted to try it Stampin' Up! style.

Another Catalog Case

I love to CASE (copy and share everything) the catalog and use what I have. Remember this card?

Crazy For Cupcakes

Crazy For Cupcakes is one of those little used sets in my collection. I used all the new In-Colors for inspiration.

Didn't Think You Needed The Filled With Love Bundle?

This card does not have to be just a Valentine's card. My mom is actually going to send it to her sister. Shhhh! Don't tell.

Only One Week Left.....

This is a catalog case, however, I changed up a few things on it.

There is only one week left for you to get a FREE package of Bitty Buttons when you order a Filled with Love bundle or to purchase the exclusive Love Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack.

When this promotion ends on January 24, the Filled with Love Stamp Set and Love Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack will no longer be available! This set is wonderful in that it can be used for a multitude of purposes. I am thinking, birthday, anniversary, just because...etc..

Love You Much!

Hi stamping friends! Thanks for stopping by today. Simple!

Mostly Vintage Stencil

Stencils are wonderful when you need a quick and simple card. However, you need to be careful not to move them too much. I use a little Dotto (repositionable adhesive) to keep it in place. Also, I used daubers and classic ink, but sponges will work too!

Snowstorm In New England

Today's inspiration from yesterday's snowstorm. We probably got a little more than 24 inches of snow when all was said and done.

Lots Of Hearts

I cased this card from the Sale A Bration catalog using hearts instead of flowers.

Stampin' Up's! stencils are versatile and easy to use. They can be used on any surface, not just walls.
