Valentine Card Ideas
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Are you looking for last-minute Valentine card ideas? I put this one together in about ten minutes, and most of it was deciding what I wanted to use for a design. 🙂 I used the small heart punch for the flower petals, punched from the red patterned paper in Polka Dot […]
Thankful For You
What a sweet way to say, “I’m thankful for you.” What’s sweeter still? Many of the things I used on this card I got FREE during Sale-A-Bration! The banners came from the whimsical stamp set Banner Blast, which you can find on page 13 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. For the longer banners I just put […]
Homemade Birthday Card Ideas
This is one of the coolest homemade birthday card ideas I’ve seen in a while. I love making these cards that just explode with personality when opened — like a party in a box! — and people really seem to enjoy receiving them. I went all out with a variety of stamp sets and dies […]
New Alphabet Stamps
Have you ever needed a specific saying and didn’t have a stamp for it? The new Sans and Stripes alphabet stamps could be the answer. These are the newest photopolymer stamps from Stampin’ Up!, and I can see using them as a monogram stamp and for creating custom words, titles, or phrases. You can’t beat […]
Happy 21st Birthday Card!
Happy 21st birthday, Marcus! My son’s 21st birthday is here — where does the time go? — and this is my birthday card for him. The silver foil paper (132178) made it a bit challenging to photograph, but hopefully you can see it okay. I ran it through the Big Shot using the Argyle Embossing […]

The greeting came […]
You Make Me Happy Handmade Card Idea
This cheerful handmade card idea is great for someone who could use a bit of a lift, or just to express how much they mean to you. And it seems very appropriate for the Northwest, too! 🙂 The greeting came from See Ya Later (w-133533/c-133536), a stamp set you can select FOR FREE with a […]
I Miss You Card
This understated I Miss You card came together quickly with a little designer paper — can you guess which one? 🙂 — and the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439). I love the neutral palette of the Modern Medley Designer Paper (126926). Sophisticated on its own, it’s just as beautiful with an added accent of color. […]
No Horsin’ Around Congratulation Card
Today’s congratulation card features the horse rubber stamp from Horse Frontier (w-132019/c-126347). The greeting came from Banner Greetings (w-129711-c.129714), a versatile set of greetings for creating cards all the way from handmade baby cards to birthday cards for men. And I think this pattern of designer paper from Soho Subway (130140) coordinates perfectly with the […]
