I tried to capture a little bit of summer on this card – it is one of the choices in my Card Buffet this month. I used the Starburst die on a circle of Daffodil Delight cardstock along with a punched 1 1/2″ circle of Peekaboo Peach. The Sunshine Sayings … Continue reading

Affectionately Yours
I went with my first thought on this sketch and used a favorite new paper collection. I love the patterns and the colors in Affectionately Yours – especially the Night of Navy. That was the first Stampin’ Up! color I ever purchased, and still a huge favorite! I am happy … Continue reading
Floral Boutique
The Floral Boutique suite is fabulous! The hand-painted florals in Night of Navy and White are so classic; the stamp set is a lovely mix of images and greetings; and the dies? Wow! Here’s a closer look at the card I created with the designer paper and washi tape. This … Continue reading
Foxy Friends Reindeer
This is the “Christmas in July” card that we made in club this past weekend. Oh my goodness, what adorable animals you can make with “Foxy Friends”!! The inside card pulls up and out of the wrap. I used designer paper from the current “This Christmas” collection, but I did … Continue reading
Mini File Box for Tags

Foxy Friends
This suite of products is too cute! The stamp set is called “Foxy Friends” and there is a coordinating punch available. The trees in the set coordinate with the Perfect Pines Framelits that were introduced in last year’s Holiday Catalog. The designer paper is also from the “A Little Foxy” … Continue reading
Touches of Texture
I kept the layout and embellishments simple on this one, so that we could appreciate the two-step flower from “Touches of Texture”. I stamped the outline in Crushed Curry, with added Pumpkin Pie from my marker at the center of the flower. I used a light touch of So Saffron (stamped … Continue reading
Love & Affection
My plan for this card changed a bit as I created it. It is basically an inlaid die cutting project with two Night of Navy thinlit hearts under the Washi Tape heart. I had intended to stack the thinlit heart shapes directly on top of each other. In the end, … Continue reading
