Father's Day card pack

This is one of the cards I am making for a card pack for my dad for Father's Day. I made three of them for him. It is a fancy fold card. I'm sure I'll be doing this at a workshop soon, but it will probably be the New Catalog Workshop in July. I colored the lighthouse (retired set) with Stampin' Pastels and a blender pen. The ship's wheel idea (as well as the fancy fold!) I CASEed from someone else.
Happy Stamping!

Stamping Fun Night May 2011

These are the cards we'll be making at Stamping Fun Night on May 12th. This lattice card isn't hard at all and I love the way this technique looks! You can make the card with the butterflies, or the flowers, or both!



This birthday card is quick and easy. It uses the Party Hearty set which is 30% off this month! It is normally $26.95 and is on sale for $18.87 until May 31st! See my website for other items on sale during the month of May.


This card is made with the Medallion stamp and is heat embossed with two colors of embossing powder. It is a great way to add even more "Wow!" to a heat embossed image!

If you would like to attend Stamping Fun Night, please RSVP on or before Wednesday, May 11th. The cost is either $5 OR a $20+ purchase.

Happy Stamping!

Stamping Fun Night April 2011

These are the cards we made at Stamping Fun Night. The do the ribbon on the card, above, put sticky strip down the side, and then add seam binding. Fold the seam binding back and forth.

To make this quick and easy card, above, stamp the butterfly continually without reinking. It's a great way to show motion!

This 3 x 3 card just makes you want to run and get some chocolate. Doesn't it?! :)

This design was made with 2 builder wheels. The flowers were stamped separately. The butterflies stick out. Just add one mini glue dot to the center!

Happy Stamping!

School Bear's Journal

I finished the cover for the journal I send home with the first graders when they take School Bear home with them. They write about all of their adventures with School Bear over the weekend and share what they wrote on Monday. It's for next school year, but I found that I am much more motivated to work on stuff like this when it's 35 degrees out (and not 85!) and I don't have a back-to-school to-do list a mile long!

Happy Stamping!

Easter card

Here is the Easter card I made this year. It opens from the top. The decorative lines going across the middle of the egg are from the DSP/Quick Accents pack that was in the Sale-A-Bration mini catalog. It's snowing here right now, but hopefully it will look more spring-like next weekend for Easter!
