Country Birdhouse Bundle Birthday Card-Because you can never have too many BD cards

 I had a blast designing this card.  I absolutely love this bundle but it is so much more than a bundle, it is a collection which includes 2 stamp set, 2 matching die sets, 2 packs of DSP, an embossing folder, gems & a double pack of ribbon.  To say this is a Big Bundle is an understatement.  Every aspect of the Country Woods Collection is gorgeous and when you put them all together it is an unforgettable collection to work with.

Layers of Beauty Birthday Card-project 1

 Who doesn't love roses?  I don't think I know anyone who doesn't love the beauty, the aroma, the delicate petals, everything about the rose (except the thorns.)


With Layers of Beauty Bundle you will capture all the beauty of the rose but you don't have to worry about a thorn.  LOL


I made my first project from this set a birthday card. I also used two of the new In Colors that will premier in the new catalog in May 2024.

Twist & Pop Birthday Card for Autumn featuring Fluffiest Friends & Nested Essentials Dies

 Autumn is my youngest granddaughter and she turned 8 on Monday, April 7th.  Where are the years going?  It seems like just yesterday she was a baby.  They do grow up way too fast.


I always make her an over the top card because she is my biggest fan where my card making is concerned.  She always wants to know what I'm working on and it's always, "let me see" and then the oooohs & awwwws.


I have made this card before so it's not new to my channel but many of you who are new to my channel may not have seen it from me.

Shadow Box Card Featuring Simply Zinnia Bundle & Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper

 Oh the bright colors of Spring & Summer.  After a long winter of browns, grays and cold weather, we welcome in the spring air, the birds singing and the beauty of our world as it opens it petals to the warm sunlight.  Much like us, flowers crave the warmth of spring & summer days.  Zinnias are a flower that thrives in the summer heat.  

In this collection of beautiful products, Stampin' Up has brought to life the lovely colors, large blooms and that feeling that only the warmth of summer can show.





I love the way this shadow box card opens to reveal a window that we can peer through to see the glory of our Zinnia.

Stippled Roses-Project 2-Wedding Card

 Do you know anyone who doesn't like roses?  They are a rare beauty that everyone loves, either the fragrant smell or their regal beauty.  When I think of roses, I think romance, love, appreciation and of course weddings.

On the card I designed today, I have incorporated the beauty of the Stippled Roses stamp & die set to create a wedding card.  Of course, you could change this up and make it an anniversary card and even a birthday card.  Anyone you want to convey your love to would appreciate getting this card.

Hey Chuck Crazy Chicken Birthday Card

Hey Chuck has always had a special place in my heart.  Stampin' Up has showcased their family of Crazy Chickens quite often and I love each of them.  There is something so quaint about these crazy little chicks with their crazy feathers, whimsical expressions that just warms my heart.


Today's card showcases each chicken in it's own frame and with the rustic look of wood grain in the background it has a barnyard feel.  I used the Stylish Shape Dies to make my frames and I stamped and colored my birds to make them even more crazy looking than before.




Enchanting right???


Even if the chickens aren't your cup of tea, you can use this layout for a number of other stamped images.  So pull out your craft supplies and give it a whirl.  I would love to see your creations over on our Facebook Group.

Flip Card featuring Latte Love Bundle & A Little Latte DSP

 We all love our coffee these days but coffee has changed drastically from the old days.  Remember when coffee was just a bland hot drink that we used in the morning for a pep-me-up, you know our caffeine fix.  Now it is more like a dessert with artwork on top of the frothy goodness.  And, I'm not knocking it at all because I love myself a good latte whether I am making it at home or picking it up from my favorite coffee shop.

Stampin' Up has come up with a collection of products that fit our need for coffee.  Latte Love is the perfect set to use to make our coffee lovin' friends just the right card for whatever occasion we need.




I also made my prototype using Poetic Expression DSP

Shabby Vintage Card for any occasion

 I love the shabby chic vintage look on any card in any colors but when you combine a rustic blue (misty moonlight) with beige (crumb cake) you get something magical.  With the right stamps, a little tearing, some ink dragging and WOW.  You got yourself a vintage card you would love to send to any of your friends or family.

Enduring Beauty-Embrace the beauty of You

 Can you believe it's March already?  Oh how times does fly!!  The month of March has always been a special month for me.  

1.    Daylight Saving Time begins (March 10)

2.    It's my birthday month.  (March 11)

3.    St. Patrick's Day (March 17)  

4.    It is the month that ushers in Spring. (March 21) 

5.    Easter comes early (March 31)


It is easy to see that March is quite the month.  It is always a month of change and uncertainty.  The weather can be crazy!  Anything from snow & ice to super hot days.  So you can either build a snowman or fly a kite all depending on the weather.  It is a month of transitions.


In today's card I wanted to showcase the beauty of a bundle called Enduring Beauty.  It is so pretty and elegant and one that I'm sure you will want in your stash.

Magnolia Mood Bundle Birthday Card

 One of the best parts of being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator is getting your hands on all the new products before they are released to the public.  That's just the case with the launch of every catalog and with the new launch of Online Exclusives.  In between catalogs, Stampin' Up is giving us new and exciting products to play with, create with and enjoy.  


Below is some samples of one of the newest designs, Magnolia Mood.






I decided to go with the same fold, same stamp & dies but changed up the colors and shapes.  I love how beautiful both of these cards turned out.


My love of magnolias came about when I was a little girl around the age of 7.  There was a house up the street from where I lived that had a wrought iron fence around it and it was an old Victorian styled home with a large staircase going up to the huge double doors and a large wrap-around porch.  The house was intimidating, but not as much as the elderly lady that lived there all alone.  Most of the kids said she was a witch and could cast evil spells on you so you best not play outside her yard or ever let her catch you in her yard.  So we all steered clear, except one spring day as I was walking by, I smelled the sweetest aroma and as I looked at this huge, thick and very knurly tree, it processed the most beautiful flower I had ever seen or smelled.  They were huge and opened wide enough to hold a small baby...well that is an exaggeration to say the least but to a little girl the bloom was massive.  


One day the lady came out as I was admiring her big tree with the huge flowers and she asked me what was I doing lingering at her fence.  I told her that I loved her flowers on the tree and I was invited in and told I could pick one if I wanted to.  It was a dream come true to say the least.  From that day forward, I've had a warm place in my heart for magnolias and the sweet lady that was a far cry from being a witch, just a lonely old lady.  We became good friends and I'll always remember the big house with the big tree with the big flowers and a very sweet little lady.

Hummingbird Window Shaker Card-Happy Birthday

 Thoughtful Expressions Bundle caught my eye from the minute I laid my eyes on it.  The delicate beauty of the hummingbird in flight and the beautiful florals not to mention the dies.  So many label dies as well as all the ones you will need to cut out your stamped items too.


This card was cased from JilliBling and I love everything about it.  It is soft, elegant, colorful and you can change the message to meet your need no matter what kind of card you need to send.


This  card in very detailed and not one you will want to mass produce but for that extra special person, this card can be the perfect one for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding, sympathy, get well, think of you, and even just a note.
