Timeless Elegance: The Best Things
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I know the weather here in the Pacific Northwest has been spectacular! And it isn’t even summer yet! For today’s handmade card design I cut out a watercolored rose I painted for another project I’ll be showing you later this week but decided not to […]
Stampin’ Up! Card Ideas: Market Fresh
So far there have been a couple Stampin’ Up! card ideas using Market Fresh this week. Here is the other one I’ve done. Love coloring in those images! This handmade card features the strawberry image against a brick background, which was created using the new Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, my favorite. Think of […]
Handmade Sympathy Cards: Timeless Elegance
The muted, neutral palette of this exquisite pattern from the Timeless Elegance Designer Paper collection is perfect for handmade sympathy cards. I decided to break up the pattern a bit and add more depth by adding some reverse layering and paper piecing. The new Lots of Labels Framelits was used to cut out the center […]
Christmas Card Sunday: Christmas Wishes
It’s Christmas Card Sunday again, and for this handmade card I’ve pulled out the retired Christmas Wishes stamp set. So cute and versatile, I didn’t even have to use designer paper with it.

Friendship Card: From My Heart
This friendship card features the timeless retiring stamp set From My Heart, consisting of lovely sentiments and graceful images. I’m happy to say that the Typeset Designer Paper Collection is NOT going to be retired. Woohoo! I love it (especially the striped pages) as you can probably tell from many of my latest projects! 🙂 […]
Handmade Baby Card
Hello Honey is the dominant color used on this project, and the name seems quite suitable for a handmade baby card. Isn’t that little guy so sweet? He (or she) is out of the Occasions Catalog, a single stamp called Baby Bumblebee. Well, I actually cut the stamp in two to have the greeting separate […]
