SQSC23 Twitterpated Daisies



Hello, Friends!

In Phoenix, the temperatures are in the upper 60s and lower 70s.  Now, upper 60s means that I still wore a sweater to work today and was cold sometimes because my body thinks that's a cold temperature.  It is, if you live in the desert. 

All that to say, it feels like spring here.  I know it's January but by March and April it will feel like summer.  So, after taking a nice walk outside with Frank, a bright flower seemed appropriate for today's card.  This is unusal for me, but this card has no stamping on it!  It's fun to think outside of the box when creating cards sometimes!   


Happy Stamping!


I used the following Stampin' Up supplies to make this card:

Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, Cherry Cobbler, and Basic Gray Card Stock
Twitterpated Designer Series Paper

LNS Challenge Love Is In The Air Floral Fillers


Hello, Friends!

I hope your weekend was as productive as mine was.  I was able to get a lot done and am ready to start the week! 

My card today is actually for my parents anniversary.  My parents will have been married for 42 years in February!  In a time when marriages don't always last, theirs deserves to be celebrated.  I wanted to be sure I got a card made for them in plenty of time to send it.  So, I made a sweet card ("looks like your style," according to my mom) for them.  I hope they enjoy it! 

This card also fits our "Love is in the Air" Late Night Stampers challenge.  Since this could be a Valentine's card because of the love theme, it fits!  If you're a stamper, we'd love to have you join our challenge this week. 

Happy Stamping!

SU Stars January Ebony and Ivory Blog Hop


Hello, Friends!

Welcome to the January "Ebony and Ivory" SU Stars Blog Hop! 
You probably arrived at my blog by coming from Shelly Peck's blog,
You can also start the blog hop at the very beginning by going to
SU Stars home blog. 

I created my black and white card with a Valentine's Day theme by using the new Hearts Framelits Dies from Stampin' Up.  This also gave me a shape card for the LNS Shaped Cards challenge. 

To make my card more complex, I tried to add lots of different textures.  I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to create a debossed look on the solid black scallop heart.  I used the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to deboss the white heart.  Then, I traced the lines with my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.  The red Glimmer paper heart adds another texture and dimension since I attached it with a Stampin' Dimensional.  Finally, I mounted my sentiment on Basic Black paper that had been embossed using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It is simple but elegant. 


Happy Stamping! 


I used the following Stampin' Up products to make this card:

Vintage Vogue Stamp Set
Whisper White and Basic Black Card Stock
Basic Black Classic Ink
Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker
Red Glimmer Paper
Hearts Framelits Dies
Elegant Lines and Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folders

SFF Twitterpated Short and Sweet



Hello, Friends!
It's Friday!  I don't know about you, but I am ready for it! 

This is the card I created for our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge this week.  I used the new Framelits hearts in place of the circles to make my card for Valentine's Day.  I cut out the big hearts with the Framelits dies and then mounted them on  Riding Hood Red Card Stock which I trimmed around with my scissors.  Since it was a simple card, I put the smaller heart on with Stampin' Dimensionals and added the bow, basic pearls, and bakers twine.  I hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!


I used the following Stampin' Up supplies to make this card:

Short and Sweet Stamp Set
Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, and Island Indigo Card Stock
Twitterpated Designer Series Paper

SQSC22 Attic Boutique Blessings



Hello, Friends! 
Happy Wednesday to you!  Congratulations on making it half way through the work week.  Some weeks that's more of an impressive accomplishment than others.  :) 

This is the card I created for our Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge #22.  I like this card because it's sunny and cheerful.  It was also super easy to make because all of the papers and embellishments match.  I'm big on things matching.  When colors don't match, it bugs me.  Luckily, I never have to worry about that with Stampin' Up supplies. 


The new Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper and Attic Boutique Side Notes made this a quick and easy card.  To non-stampers, it looks like a lot more work than it actually was.  And who doesn't need less work?!

Happy Stamping!


I used the following Stampin' Up products to make this card:

Blessings from Heaven Stamp Set
Soft Suede Classic Ink
Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, and Soft Suede Card Stock
Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper
Attic Boutique Side Notes
1/4" Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon
