Charming wedding

Here's a quick wedding card that I whipped up a few days ago. The stamped images are from Wedding Elegance and Charming sets by Stampin' Up! and the cardstock colors I used are Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Going Gray, all by Stampin' Up. The eyelet border punch is also by SU.

Madison

My niece, Madison, is dedicating eighteen months of her life to be a full-time missionary, so each time I write her a letter, I make a cute card to go with it. This creation is something quick and simple, hoping to put a smile on her face.

Simple Delights

After making a bajillion cards for a recent women's conference that I helped plan, I had some remaining cardstock and whipped up a few more creations using the same layout. The featured image on this little 3" x 3" note card is from the Simple Delights stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the happy birthday sentiment is from a set called A Little Birthday Cheer. The cardstock colors I used are Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and Very Vanilla. In case you're curious, I'm adding photos from my original design of the conference invitations. I had a stamp made at Office Depot for about ten bucks that says, "by small & simple things" and on the inside of the card, completed the scripture, "...are great things brought to pass." I printed the inserts on my color printer.

Here's the actual batch of cards I made, there were ONE THOUSAND of them. Yikes! It took a while.

I took the invitation to Party City to color coordinate with the paper plates that I selected. I adore this floral print, which matches perfectly.

Now that my conference is over, I feel like I have free time to create again! I've made dozens of cards in the last few day and am anxious to come up with some new things soon. What a fun hobby!

Countdown to Christmas

This was so fun to make, putting little surprises in each carton to create a Twelve Days of Christmas gift. Lisa B, thanks for the fabulous idea! These little pouches remind me of the sour cream packets you get at fast food places.

I can't get enough of this gorgeous striped ribbon from Stampin Up!

I made this card last year at Kathy's house and never posted it. It's going in the mail to my aunt and uncle today, so I'm capturing the memory so I can recreate it some day.

My December is starting off with a lot of paper crafting and I'm loving it. I hope you and your family are enjoying this special season as much as I am.

You make the world special

After making a couple of these cards, I added a scallop circle punch of chocolate chip cardstock and an image stamped from Wishing you the Best by SU in Cool Caribbean, popped up with Zots 3-D adhesive dots.

Yes, I have been making cards. No, I haven't been taking pictures and posting them. So here's one I just whipped up to prove that I'm still creating. The sentiment, "you make the world special just by being in it" is from the stamp set You Make Me Happy by Stampin' Up! and the polo button brads are by Making Memories. The designer paper is by The Angel Company and the ink is Garden Green by Stampin' Up! in case you're curious.

First day of fall, my favorite season

I just got this Falling Leaves stamp set and adore it and am pleased with how this card came out. I was inspired by Jackie Bolhuis. Bon Appetit is the inside sentiment. Compliments to the Chef was one of the first sets I ordered from the Stampin' Up! new line. The featured stamp matches my Michelangelo by Oneida flatware.

Got this set last year, but I paired it up with some new designer paper and striped ribbon.

Can't remember where I got this great haunted house stamp, but sure do like the shape of it. I used a rub-on for the sentiment. Spooky! It's fun to create some cards again after some time off.

Happy first day of fall!
