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. Aren’t they precious? Who remembers playing with paper dolls as a child? That’s what it reminds me of when I’m “dressing” them. 🙂 I cut […]

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 […]

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. Both the trim and greeting were pulled from the balloon. Simple, simple, simple! Everything was stamped in Real Red. The Ovals Collection […]
