I spent part of the afternoon stamping with my friend Patti.  She made some Easter basket cards.  I got my swaps done for our meeting on Saturday.  I just loved the cards I made earlier with the Au Chocolate designer paper, so I made 10 more! These are the 4 projects that we are making […]

I used a nice and easy layout from a recent magazine for this card.  The background is dry embossed with my cuttlebug.  Stamp sets are a Tree for all Seasons and By Design.  Hodgepodge hardware and ribbon add dimension. 

I wasn’t sure if I would like this designer paper – but I found it a joy to work with!  This is the card I made for the French challenge for Virtual Stamp Night. I used the spiral and tab punches and the Carte Postale stamp set.  The frayed ribbon technique is really fun – just cut […]

  Here are a couple more projects that I completed for the SCS Virtual Stamp Night.  The first is a “room with a view” card.  It folds up for mailing.  The second card uses the faux postage technique.    There’s only a few days left to get this stamp set and designer paper special from Stampin’ […]

Last night I completed the first 2 challenges of the SCS Virtual Stamp Night.  We had 45 minutes to complete each project.  My first card uses the Emboss Resist Technique.  The second is a free standing pop-up card (instructions here ).  I used the Eat Cake stamp set and the Au Chocolate designer paper.  This […]

Here is my version of the Triangle Trifold card by Beate, which is all the rage this month on Splitcoaststampers.  Her tutorial is here .  For my card I used the Petals and Paisleys designer paper, So Saffron CS, and the Big Blooms stamp set.  I added some paper piercing to the bare white corners of the front panel, which […]

Well, spring has sprung.  My crocuses are in bloom and the mound of snow at the center of the cul-de-sac is almost gone.  We visited Rita’s on the first day of spring (in the rain) to get our free Italian ices.  I continue my Big Blooms saga with a coaster album.  The Petals and Paisley […]

They say here in Erie, if you don’t like the weather, wait ten minutes.  Well that’s a slight exaggeration – it’s more like a few hours or a day.  Last week we had a warm, sunny day of 71.  The next day we had torrents of rain and local flooding.   The snow from February was […]

I used another one of my Target buckets for a centerpiece.  I love how you can layer the Big Blooms stamp set.  I had these twigs saved from a previous project (I’m such a pack rat!)

  We woke up to a couple inches of snow today, but I’m still thinking spring!  Here are 2 more spring projects – Peeps in a Jar and Peeps in a Pail (or Easter bunny s’mores).  The recipe is here I had a hard time not burying the bunnies.  Maybe it would have worked better […]
