Beautiful Bouquet Cards
Today's cards feature the Beautiful Bouquet Bundle. I made a birthday card for my Mom's 86th birthday. She loves flowers. I made the card in the video as a Thank You card just to change it up a little.
After I completed the video, I decided that the lilies needed something so I found there was a stamp with the stamen (I think that's what they are) image. It really makes the flowers complete.
Check out the video below to see how I made these cards.

July's Paper Pumpkin Is Here
I'm loving this month's Paper Pumpkin and I can't wait to get some time to sit down and make the cards. Its great getting this little orange box in my mailbox each month.
Take a look at the video from Stampin' Up! with the details on this month's Paper Pumpkin.
Not Familiar with Paper Pumpkin? It's a surprise your mailbox every month. Because who doesn't love happy mail? Here are some highlights:
- Every kit comes with an exclusive stamp set to use over and over!
- You'll also get at least one Classic Stampin’ Spot with every kit. The colors don’t repeat in a 12-month period, so it’s easy to build a collection of colorful ink.
- Every new subscriber receives a clear block (size D) with their first kit to help them get started and to use throughout their subscription.
- It’s an incredible value! In addition to a stamp set an ink spot(s), the kits are packed with supplies many to make awesome projects like cards, home décor, gift packaging, and more. For example, our card kits (6+ per year) always include 8 cards—at least!
- It’s flexible! You can suspend (for a month) or cancel at anytime.
- Since all the prep work is done, the projects take a shorter time to complete, making it the perfect on-the-go craft. Headed out of town? Grab a kit to create during some downtime. It’s all contained in one little box, so it’s easy to take anywhere!
You can click on the Paper Pumpkin image on the right to subscribe or leave me a comment and I'll help you get started.
Happy 95th Birthday Dad!!!
This week is my Dad's 95th birthday and I made this card especially for him. I love the sentiment inside. Is says "the number of years the world has been a better place because of you". That's exactly how I feel about him, the world has been a better place because of him. I hope he enjoys his big birthday!!!!
I used the Number of Years Bundle and the Happy Birthday Thinlits to make this card. The Early Espresso and Pear Pizzaz go well together with the Coffee Break DSP to make a masculine card.

Zesty Lemons at the Farmer's Market
Today's card features the Lemon Zest and the Wood Words bundles to make this Farmer's Market card. I think they go together very well.
I used the Wood Textures DSP to cut the crate with the Wood Crate Framelits. The lemons and leaves were stamped with the Lemon Zest stamps and then cut out with the Lemon Builder Punch. Linen Thread wrapped around and tied in a bow put the finishing touches on.

Lemons, Limes & Oranges....How Refreshing!!!!
Today I'm featuring the Lemon Zest Stamp set. Isn't this a great card! Its so refreshing to see all that delicious citrus fruit.
I stamped the orange, lemon and lime slices and then cut them out with the Layering Circles Framelits. Then I cut the lemons and limes in half. The Daffodil Delight ribbon and Glimmering Enamel Dots finished off the card just perfectly.

If Life Gives You Lemons.....
This week I'm featuring the Lemon Zest Bundle.
Today's card has a fresh look with the bright lemons hanging off a branch.
I love the sentiment: If life gives you lemons....Squeeze it for all its worth?
I used Garden Green for the leaves and stamped directly on one leaf and then stamped again on the next leaf without re-inking. This gives you two different shades of the same color.
Here's the inside of the card.
Watch the video below to see how I used this bundle to make the card. I love having a punch to quickly cut out the images. I used the Seasonal Layers Thinlits to get the branch but you can just cut a branch yourself pretty easily if you don't have those thinlits.

Beautiful Tranquil Tulips, so many options
Today I want to show you how to use the Tranquil Tulips Host set. You can make some gorgeous tulips that have a watercolor look using this two-step stamp set.
Here are some sample cards that I made. Check out the video to see the other colors I tried. Its great to play with your stamps using different colors.
The tulips in this card were made with Calypso Coral and the stems are in Old Olive. I used the Layered Leaves embossing folder to emboss one layer and adhered it to an Old Olive card base.
These tulips were stamped in Real Red and Old Olive for the stems and leaves. It was adhered to a Real Red card base.
Last but not least, this tulip was stamped in Berry Burst and the leaves and stamp are in Lemon Lime Twist. I used some In-Color Berry Burst DSP to ad a strip behind the Layering Ovals with the stamped image. This was all adhered to a Whisper White layer and a Berry Burst card base.
Watch the video below to see the other colors I used to play around with the stamp set. What fun!!!!

At Home With You
I made this card with my log home in mind. We built a log home in Upstate New York and the entrance looks like this card, with the green door and the lights on either side.
There are a lot of pieces to make some beautiful scenes using the At Home With You bundle.
Both cards are similar but I changed up the color of the welcome mat and the floor. I also used the embossed Pinewood Planks on one and the debossed on the other.
Check out my video for all the details on how I made these cards.

Fun Background Using Lovely Inside & Out
Today I made a great background for a card using the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set. It was so easy to do and I love the way it came out.
I stamped the image in Powder Pink, Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig randomly on Whisper White cardstock to create the background. To get a lighter color, I stamped off first.

A Little Wild Meets Pocketful Of Sunshine
I love the way these two bundles worked together to make this fun card. I used the A Little Wild bundle with the Pocketful Of Sunshine bundle.
I stamped the animals from A Little Wild and cut them out with the coordinating framelits. I cut the back off because I only needed the front of each animal.
The pocket was stamped in Dapper Denim on a piece of Color Series DSP. Doesn't it look like a faded denim? I cut out the pocket with the coordinating framelits. The glimmer enamel dots add just the right touch.
Take a look at the video to see how I made this card. I added an extra strip on the bottom of one card because I felt the pocket was adhered a little too high and left too much white space.

Sweet Baby Girl Card
This A Little Wild stamp set is just so darn cute. I made this card for a sweet baby girl but you can switch out the colors and make it for a baby boy.

Fun Birthday Card using the Shadowing Technique
Today I made this great birthday card using the Shadowing Technique. It really makes the Happy Birthday sentiment POP!!!
I made this card for my future Son-In-Law. Its a good card for a guy. I used the Happy Birthday Thinlits and cut the sentiment twice and then offset them a little to give the shadow affect. The splatter stamp from the Timeless Textures stamp set gives the card a fun look.

Life is a beautiful thing, and oh so peaceful!
Don't you just love the color combination on these two cards?
The blue background looks like a stormy day. The card base is Night of Navy and the sentiment was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.
The green background is very peaceful. The card base is Basic Black and the sentiment was stamped in Archival Basic Black Archival Ink and then Clear Embossing Powder.
I made eight of these cards (four of each color) for a swap that I'm in with my team. They were so easy to make.
Check out the video below to see how I made them.
Here are the dimensions for the cards:
- Card Base (Night of Navy or Basic Black) - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 - scored at 4 1/4
- Layer of Lemon Lime Twist - 5 1/4 x 4
- Layer of Naturally Eclectic DSP - 5 x 3 3/4
- Scraps of Lemon Lime Twist for Adirondack chairs
Here is how I cut the DSP:
- Cut 3 strips of 3 3/4 (cut so blue is on top and green on bottom)
- Cut strip in half and then cut off blue end or green end (depending on which piece so you are left with a 5 x 3 3/4 layer. You want to keep as much white as possible.
I completed all eight swap cards. I hope everyone likes them when they receive them. I'm looking forward to receiving mine :)
