Simply Well Suited

It can be fun to ‘think outside the box’ and get creative with our crafting supplies, but some days I like to craft and just let the theme of the stamps and supplies carry the flow to creating simple cards.

Happy Anniversary

January 26th was the 2 year anniversary of my marriage to MSH (my sweet husband). We celebrate each month, and I make a card for him, but this was an annual anniversary, so I wanted to make him a card that was a little more special.

Roses, Roses, Roses

One of my newest loves is the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I first posted a card using the set recently, (see that post here) and have wanted to play with it some more ever since, so today is the day.

Cheery Greetings

Are you tired of winter and counting the days until spring? This can be the time of year when we start getting some warmer, sunny days and really start to feel like spring might be coming soon. Winter can be long and cold, so a card with a cheery greeting can be just the thing to lift our spirits and give us some sunny spring thoughts.

Fall Is Coming

The days are still lovely, but the nights are cooler, and you can feel that Fall is just around the corner. With that, I often turn my colour choices for cards to oranges, greens, browns, golden yellow, and others that remind us of nature’s beauty as the leaves turn colours.

A Well Said Happy Birthday

If you are looking for a great Go-To sentiment set, Well Said is sure to hit the mark. It has all sorts of words you can put together to create a unique greeting, along with some phrases that are wonderful. There is also a coordinating die set called Well Written. Together you can say almost anything! I used the Happy and Birthday from the stamp set for my card today.

Vrrroooom! Get It Before It's Gone

The annual catalogue from Stampin’ Up! will come to a close very soon. If you don’t have everything you want from the retiring list, you only have until June 3 to get it. While the Geared Up Garage stamp set will be available in the new catalogue, the coordinating Classic Garage DSP will retire. I used some of the DSP for my card today.

Get Out The Good China

Do you have a collection of beautiful tea cups? My Mother had lots of beautiful tea cups that she used on a regular basis. When I was little and her friends came over they would always have tea in lovely china cups. I used to love seeing all the pretty colours and patterns, and picking which ones I liked best. I decided to create a pretty china tea cup for my card for the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge.
