Stamp & Create Team Spotlight - Amanda Farlinger

Hello! Today I have a card to share with you that Amanda Farlinger sent me a while back.  Confession time - I am not good at sending cards.  I make tons of them, I sell some of them at Un-Wine-d, the Cookery, and Ormsbee's Mercantile, and I even donate them to a few different causes.  But unfortunately, I am not good at sending them.  Thankfully, I have friends and team members that are!!!  They are motivating me to do better. But back to the card, I am not the biggest fan of the stampset that Amanda used, and yet, this...

Prayers and Heartfelt Sympathy

Hello! Welcome back!  Today I have a card to share--two if you count the change in sentiments!  I so miss doing in person classes--but a common request I get is for sympathy cards.  This was one that I had created for the class.  It was a bit of a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) if I remember right, but it was so long ago I have no record of it unfortunately.  But I do love how it turned out!  For those that didn't need the sympathy card, I did a quick change of the sentiment to create a wedding card...

Woven Threads Double Page Layout

  Hello! Welcome back!  I hope you are all having a fantastic long weekend!  It's been a long time since I've shared a scrapbook layout, so I thought today may be a good time!  This is one I created a while back, I love the Pretty Peacock and Rococo Rose colours together!!! Aren't those two colours beautiful together? Probably not something I would have done on my own, but Stampin' Up! lists the colours on the package making it easy to create colour coordination that you might not think of otherwise! To make this layout, start with 2-12x12 piece of...

Swap Card Spotlight - Diane Inkster

Hello! Today I have a card to share with you from my friend Diane Inkster!  I love how she made the background for this card--and let's face it, you know I love the elephants! I love how she used the crackle background stamp to create the card base.  It reminds me of sand that is so dry it cracked. To create this card: Start with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Crushed Curry cardstock, score and fold at 4 1/4" to create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base.  Stamp the crackle background in Crushed Curry ink...

Pretty Cards and Paper International Blog Hop - Our Favourite Papers

Hello! Welcome back!  Today I am taking part in the Pretty Cards & Paper International Blog Hop.  This month, because all our favourite papers are retiring, we are showing them off!  I chose the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper for my project.  When I first got this paper I focused far too much on the "A" side, the side that features the makeup, shoes and purses.  I don't know how I missed it, but the "B" side are all amazingly gorgeous watercolour flowers!  So today, I have a fun fold card to share with you, specifically to show off these...
