Today I’m sharing a card that is the exact opposite of my card from yesterday, this one is white on white embossing. I used the Peaceful Petals stamp set from the upcoming 2014 Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up! to create my card.
My card design was inspired by Retrosketches #94 and The Paper Players #176.
I’ve got another sneak peek at a new stamp set from the upcoming 2014 Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up! They’ve got a beautiful new background stamp called Hardwood, I love it! I was one of the first items added to my preorder and I’ve used it to create a masculine birthday card to share with you today.
Sandi MacIver asked me to be a part of the Design Team for her Stamping & Blogging site and I made this card for their Sketch Challenge this week. You can see more about the Stamping & Blogging site here.
Today I’m sharing a card that I made with a few new stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure. The little heart banner is from the Sale-a-bration Banner Blast stamp set and it’s got a matching Banner Punch and the flower images are from the So Very Grateful stamp set from the 2014 Occasions Catalog.
My card design was inspired by the Split Coast Stampers SC466 sketch and the colors were inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments #174 colors.
Today I’m sharing a birthday card that I made with the Apothecary Art stamp set from Stampin’ Up! The colors for my card were inspired by the Dynamic Duos #81 Color Challenge.
Wow, I can’t believe it…my blog turns one year old today! When I first started blogging I gave myself six months and I’d see what happened. Well, I’ve been overwhelmed with your positive response to my little stamping blog. You have all been so supportive, like my own little stamping family. And I can’t say thank you enough for following along on this journey. 🙂
I do have a quick birthday card and some blog candy to share but first I though that it would be fun to share a few of my blog stats with you:
And just for fun, I thought that I’d show you my very first card. My blogging style has changed a lot since then (and so have my photography skills!). If you want to see my very first post, click here.
I thought that I’d also show you your favorite card (based on the number of times it has been viewed) that I’ve posted. This is one of my favorites too! If you want to see the original blog post, click here.

Alright, enough about my blog…here is a quick birthday card that I made with the Sassy Salutations stamp set and a Pretty Presents Designer Bow from Stampin’ Up! I made a card a few weeks ago with one of these bows and mentioned that it looked like Minnie Mouse. I finally made a Minnie Mouse card to share with you.
Yippee, the 25% off 25 stamp sets sale from Stampin’ Up! is finally here!! Plus Stampin’ Up! is also offering Weekly Deals and be sure to check out a little ordering special from me! Happy shopping!!
I made a clean and simple masculine birthday card with the Wishing You and Sketched Birthday stamp sets to share with you today. My card design was inspired by Sketch Frenzy Friday SFF101113 and The Paper Players #168.
I used the Wetlands and By the Seashore stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share with you today. It’s another masculine birthday card since we’ve got a lot of male birthdays in my at this time of the year. My card design was inspired by Sketch Frenzy Friday 100413 and the colors were inspired by The Paper Players #167.
I’ve got lots of birthdays coming up for the men in my family so I’m working on my stash of masculine cards. I’m sharing a card that I made with the You’re Amazing stamp set from Stampin’ Up! with you today. My card design was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 194 and the colors were inspired by the Split Coast Stampers CC447 Color Challenge.
Hope that you were all able to send some pictures to Stampin’ Up! for World Card Making Day yesterday. Good luck to everyone who entered!
I pulled out some of the I Am Me DSP from Stampin’ Up! to create my card share for today. The Freshly Made Sketches #106 was a clean and simple design so I thought some layers of the DSP would work perfectly for a masculine birthday card.
After making the long narrow card that I shared with you yesterday, the idea to create a money holder card using the Envelope Punch Board popped into my head. I created a holiday and a birthday version and I’m sharing a quick tutorial showing you the size and scoring points. I’m putting this out on my Tutorials page as well so that you can find it back quickly when you need it.
My holiday money holder card front was inspired by Retrosketches #82 and I used the Very Merry Tags and Wishing You stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create it.
