Hippo Happiness Birthday Card

I created this card for my great grandson. When I saw it in the annual catalog, I knew I had to case it and give it to him for his first birthday. I also thought it would be a good card to demonstrate on my YouTube channel so my viewers would know how to layer the stamps to get the effect that was shown in the catalog. I hope you like it as much as I do. Have a blessed day and have fun creating.

Gorgeous Posies Card Kit

When I saw the Gorgeous Posies Card Kit in the annual catalog, I knew I had to have it. What a beautiful set of cards! If you haven't seen it yet, watch my YouTube video and you will agree with me. The cards in the kit are simple to make and would make a wonderful gift with the lovely box that comes with them, or you can send the cards to the special people in your life. Only a few extra supplies are needed. The Gorgeous Posies stamp set is additional. If you already have sentiments that will work, then you don't need to purchase the stamp set unless you really must have it.  Have a blessed day!

All Things Fabulous Thank You Card

I created this card using the new Magenta Madness ink, ribbon, enamel dots, and card stock. I used third generation stamping for the largest rose, second generation for the next layer, and full strength for the third layer.

I also made a card using three shades of yellow and Granny Apple Green. It turned out just as beautiful as this one.

Forever Greenery Sympathy Card

A good friend of mine passed away a few weeks ago. He loved the outdoors and had a wonderful sense of humor. I wanted to make a special sympathy card for his family so this is the design I came up with. The Forever Greenery DSP was perfect. I love the different shades of green combined with the gold.

It would also make a wonderful birthday card or thank you card for anyone who enjoys being outside. I hope you enjoy creating this card. Have a blessed day and have fun crafting!

Forever Greenery Dream-Catcher Card

If you are having trouble coming up with a card design, refer to your annual catalog and see what Stampin' Up is creating. I found the inspiration for this card on page 109. I changed the card size and the sentiment. I also put more detail in the Dream-Catcher. You can watch my YouTube video to see how I put this card together. If I get enough people express an interest in how I made the Dream-Catcher, I will create a video demonstrating how to make it. Have a blessed day and have fun crafting.

Jar of Flowers Thank You

I had fun making these three cards. I started out with a Simple Card using just stamps, ink, paper, and a ribbon. I made the second card using the Jar Punch, water color pencils, and a water brush. For the third card, I added one of the Mason Jar Shaker Domes and fussy cut the flowers after I stamped and colored them. You could also use the Celebrate Sunflowers stamps and dies. Get creative and have fun stamping!

Thanks For All Your Help

I thought it would be fun to make a simple card without using any Designer Series Paper. This rainbow colored card is what I came up with. Click on the link to see how I created it. I glued the colored card stock strips to a piece of Whisper White CS and then trimmed it to 3-5/8"x 2-1/4" so it would fit inside the ornate frame. If you have any questions, please email me and I would be happy to help you. Thank you and have a blessed day!
