With a cherry on top!


If only we had scent capabilities on the internet, you'd be able to smell the cherry embossing powder on this card! We made this card at club on Tuesday using the Mouthwatering set and the yummy scented embossing powder. So fun! Can't wait for cherries to be ripe here, but it's still a few months away. Guess I'll just have to be happy with the embossing powder!

You're so sweet


This card makes me anxious for summer! And what goes better with summer weather than ice cream? Nothing!

Stampin' Up!'s new Diagonal Scoring Plate makes custom envelopes a snap--you'll be amazed how easy it is! And with the Sweet Shop set of products, you can't go wrong. I love the brads, the stickers, the stamps, the scented embossing powders, the DSP . . . well, apparently, I love it all!

Pretty stripes


This is my current favorite card! I saw the sketch on Pinterest and knew it was perfect for these brads. The DSP and brads are from the Everyday Enchantment suite in the Sale-a-bration catalog. And don't you love the Pool Party twine! Yummy!

This is a great sketch for long scraps, and a fun way to make a quick card.

Boutique Birthday


We made this card at February's club meeting. I think it's so old-fashioned looking! First we used the Adorning Accents Edgelit and Embossing folder to decorate the bottom edge of the front of the card. Then we used Watercolor Wonder Crayons to watercolor the beautiful image from Apothecary Art (this might be my most favorite set ever!) die cut it with the Labels Framelits. The DSP is from the gorgeous Attic Boutique pack. And those giant pearls? They're new from the Occasions Mini Catalog!

Sale-a-bration Birthday


I really love this card and need to make a few more! I think it's perfect for a masculine birthday, and those cards are sometimes hard to come by! I used the Adorning Accents Edgelit to add a little curve the the front, and then just used my favorite DSP pack--Everyday Enchantment--and some Lucky Limeade cardstock. The sentiment is from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes, and the banner is from Take It to Heart. It still needed a little something, so I added the doodles.

Have you placed your Sale-a-bration order yet??? Don't miss out on this gorgeous DSP and the accompanying accessories!

In the sunshine


Even though we had snow on Wednesday, my daffodils and crocus are peeking their little heads up out of the dirt, looking for the sunshine! This card makes me feel like spring, and it was very easy to put together.

The DSP is from the Everyday Enchantment pack--free with purchase and available exclusively during Sale-a-bration! I {heart} this particular print, and I'll probably be hoarding some of it. I used the smallest Label Framelit to cut out the very center, then stamped the sentiment (from Pursuit of Happiness) on the Vanilla layer underneath. Added some doodling, some pearls, and some stitched poly ribbon.

Hope your weekend is filled with sunshine!

Happy Valentine's Day!



This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. It was fun and easy, and I think it has a dramatic look to it! I used the Triple Heart punch and the Small Heart punch. And let's hear it for yummy Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding!

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day! Tell your loved ones how you feel!

Valentine Treat Box


Another Valentine treat box for you to try! This is the Big Shot die Box #2--one of my most used dies! I cut a strip of Red Glimmer paper and scalloped the edge. Attach with Sticky Strip to the top edge of the box. One heart punch is embossed, while the other is stamped with an image from Take It to Heart. Add you treat and tie with red 1/4" grosgrain. Happy Valentines Day!
