I created this one-layer card for mom’s birthday stamp-a-stack camp. All this takes is a little masking.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Colors: Vanilla, Espresso, Pear, Rose Red;
Other: ~nothing~
I created this card for mom’s February camp. We like to throw in funky folds occasionally, so I decided to do a Free Standing Pop-Up card (tutorial @ SCS).
Thanks for stopping by!
I created this card for mom’s next stamp camp. She wanted me to make a Mother’s Day card using Aviary.
Each (catalog) year she asks her customers what they’d like to see in the coming months. One thing on the current list is more shabby chic. This isn’t a style that either of us like doing. It has been a while since our last shabby card so I thought I’d give it a go for this card.
I used LOTS of products on this card, but it still came together pretty quickly.
I stamped the bird cage base onto the Vanilla panel first, then I embossed it (sometimes I don’t think about it in the right order, lol). Then I just layered and layered until I felt it was enough. I know I could have taken this to another level, but since this is for stamp camp, I needed it to be doable within the time constraints.

When I saw this challenge from Play Date Cafe (pdcc123) I wasn’t too sure. But once I pulled the colors out, I fell in love.
The inspiration photo for the color challenge had me thinking ric-rac or chevrons.
I needed to make a masculine card for one of mom’s upcoming stamp camps. I was tasked to make the card using Totally Tool.

I created this card for mom’s stamp camp a couple weeks ago. I ended up casing the design of my Christmas card (second card) because her customers loved the design and wanted a chance to make the ruffle.
To make the ruffle, punch a couple strips of cardstock using the Scallop Border punch. Run the cardstock through a crimper a lot to break up the inner fibers. Apply adhesive to the back of the circle, around the edges. Adhere the first edge of the scalloped piece and just fold and bend to fit it around the circle.
The colors are not the best in this photo. That green is Lucky Limeade!
I created this card for one of mom’s stamp camp. She requested a kid birthday card. I chose to use Fox & Friends (such a cute little set!). I couldn’t pick which little critter to use, so I decided to use them all. I was trying to decide what color to make each animal when I realized I could make a rainbow. That always makes me happy 🙂

My random file this afternoon was Spring Garden – an oldie but goodie from Stampin Up. I thought I would do a tulip row, but when I went looking for help I found a sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping (ftl180) that worked perfect for the hollyhock image.
I decided I wanted to use Wisteria (mostly because I knew I had some pattern paper in that color) and chose Limeade because they are family 🙂
This is a great layout and I’m sure I’ll use it again!

A few months ago I needed a couple boy birthday cards.
The first card is pretty straight forward.
The second card I used some bits from a card that failed me months before. The little banner and the cute monster are from my scraps bin. I pulled the rest together around them.
I haven’t played the ColourQ challenge in forever so when I needed a card but wasn’t sure where to start, I fired up their blog to see what was what. I loved the latest challenge (#127) of chocolate, coral, bride, and celery.
I recently received the StampinUp Doily set and it called my name today! The scallops along the bottom are done using the new StampinUp edge dies – love the scalloped scallops!!

This week’s Clean & Simple challenge at SCS was a color challenge: Rich Razzleberry and White. Razzleberry is one of my favorite colors!
I had tons of ideas, but settled on using this rose from an old set – Abundant Joy. I stamped the rose full strength, but the sentiment is off-stamped, though the ink is quite rich and so it is hard to see any difference.
I also added an embossed square around the image. I did the embossing from the back so that the embossing is out, not in (debossed).
