Homemade Christmas Card

Here’s another homemade Christmas card.  I used the hostess set Priority Mail for this one, which is versatile enough for Christmas cards, birthday cards, and I even used it for a handmade baby card. I stamped the Christmas stamp in Cherry Cobbler, the Snowman in Pacific Point (punched out with the 1″ Circle punch), and […]

Hand Stamped Cards

You work hard creating beautiful hand stamped cards, so why not identify yourself as the artist on the back of them.? Stampin’ Up! sells a number of different style name stamps, from one to four lines, you can use for the backs.  The one I used in the middle of the back is called Flourish […]

Making Homemade Cards

Things don’t always go as planned when making homemade cards, even for me. I really like how this card came out, despite the fact that the stamped image is incomplete in the middle.  I considered putting another flower over it, but I decided to leave it as it is.  I may add a butterfly or […]

Spooky Homemade Halloween Cards

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the items included in the upcoming Holiday catalog to make fun homemade Halloween cards.  But you’d better be careful, they’re spooky! I thought the gate fold card would be cute for this stamp from Toxic Treats.  When I saw it I actually thought of a wrought iron gate, […]

Sweet Handmade Thank You Card

This sweet handmade thank you card features another stamp from Summer Afternoon, a hostess set in the Stampin’ Up! catalog.  The simple white card with the Gumball Green accents just looks so fresh. I ran the top base piece through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I wrapped it with one […]

With Sympathy Condolence Card

When I sit down to stamp I don’t usually think about making a condolence card, which is why I never have one on hand when I need one.  Thankfully I don’t need one often, but it would be nice to have some made up ahead of time because being creative isn’t really at the top […]
