ILCS49 – Grateful for You Card Design
Using this week’s card making template over at i Love Card Sketches I came up with another card design. I started with For All Things, a beautiful watercolor-inspired stamp set. Then I added a strip of patterned paper from the Typeset Specialty Designer Paper collection and a smaller strip from Neutrals Designer Paper Stack. The Basic Black […]

Simple Birthday Card for Niece
Today’s simple birthday card is for my niece. I’ve been sick for a while and was short on time, so I kept it to a simple and clean color scheme. I used Tangerine Tango for a bright and happy fall color. The birthday greeting came from the fabulous Happy Birthday Everyone Hostess set, which you […]
Simple Christmas Card Design
Today’s beautiful Christmas card design looks complicated but is super simple. This is what all the guests will be making at my stamp party today! Other than the greeting, this card is made completely — and exclusively! — using the Big Shot and the Woodland embossing folder. That’s right, even the stamping! All the ink went inside […]

Christmas Card Sunday: Merry Christmas Cards
For today’s Christmas Card Sunday project we’re looking at Merry Christmas cards using the adorable Snow Place stamp set (photopolymer – 139738) coming out in the Holiday Catalog September 1st.

Christmas Card Sunday: Peace on Earth
Today’s holiday card for Christmas Card Sunday blends old Stampin’ Up! stamps with current ones, and Christmas stamps with non-Christmas sets. I began with the world stamp from The Open Sea… certainly not a set you’d likely jump right to for your Christmas card ideas. But paired with the “Peace on Earth” greeting from the […]
Greeting Card Sentiments – ILCS40
When they’re big and bold, why not position your greeting card sentiments front and center and make them the focal point of your handmade card designs? I did just that on today’s card, using the motivational quote as the main element. I even embossed it to be sure it stood out strong! 🙂 The Circles […]
