I love to pair a big greeting with a designer paper background. Throw in a few accents, and you really can’t do any more because, quite frankly, you are out of space! The big greeting and pretty background do all of the work for you. I particularly like this big … Continue reading
Not a critter to be seen here, but this present is from the “Cozy Critters” host set in the Holiday Catalog. Made in Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum and Bermuda Bay, it doesn’t exactly look like a holiday item either – it can be made to suit any occasion. I used … Continue reading
This color combination has been on my “must CASE” list since early in the summer, when I received the card below in a swap. The colors are Pear Pizzaz, Crushed Curry, and Watermelon Wonder. This card was made by Amy Combs, and both use “Sunshine Sayings” and the coordinating thinlits. … Continue reading
We have a soft color challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary, and I made a card for a special one-year-old. I do love our Foxy Friend in any shade of orange! The greeting is from Sunshine Sayings, and the designer paper is from the Fruit Stand collection. … Continue reading

The 2016-2018 In Colors are just fabulous! Love them! I am showcasing the florals here – Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, and Sweet Sugarplum. Some of the new greetings are pretty awesome, too. The birthday greeting is a single stamp “Stylized Birthday” and that great thank you is from “Thankful Thoughts”. … Continue reading
CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything. I often look to our catalogs for ideas, especially when I need many cards for class at once. This is one of the cards I chose for this week’s Card Buffet, and it is almost an exact copy of the card on page … Continue reading
I love the sailboat in the “Swirly Bird” stamp set, and I am especially loving it in nautical red and blue combinations with our new In Color, Dapper Denim. The embossing folder I used is also new. It is called Seaside. The greeting is from “Thoughtful Banners”, punched with another … Continue reading
