Today I have another card I made using the Delightfully Detailed Memories and More cards. The large cards are 4 x 6 inches in size, so they are bigger than you need for a regular card front. You can use the Memories and More Cards and Envelopes, but I decided to use a regular card base. I just trimmed it to 3 5/8 x 5 1/8 to fit my card base and that gave me an extra piece to use to add a border to my greeting piece.

The Petal Promenade DSP has beautiful flower images, and I wanted to showcase them as much as possible on my card today. I decided to make them the main event and not cover them up too much. I choose the Happy Birthday Thinlits to help me do that.

The Global Design Project Challenge this week is a theme, and the theme is Take Me To The Sea. I wanted to use the High Tide stamp set for my card, the lighthouse was the perfect image to take me to the sea in my mind’s eye.

It's a colour challenge over at the Global Design Project, and they are 3 fantastic colours! Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Lovely Lipstick. Blue is my favourite colour, so Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay work well for me, and I love the pop of bright that Lovely Lipstick adds. It is one of the new 2018 - 2020 In Colours. They are all bold bright colours and this one is no exception.

I’m on a roll with the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I love to be out in nature in the warm weather, and cards made with this stamp set seem very fitting. Today I used the big tree trunk piece stamped with Early Espresso and fussy cut it for my card.

I love spending time at the cottage in the summer, and as everyone knows, I love paper crafting!! I find making handmade cards is a great way to relax, and when you give someone a hand made card you share joy and love. What a perfect combination. I spend a lot of time at the cottage in the summer, as does my neighbour out back, so for Margo's birthday card I wanted to make a card that reflected the beauty that we enjoy all summer. Here is the card I made for her.

One of my neighbours at the cottage turned 70 at the end of June. What a great reason to celebrate! Debbie and Bill love spending time at their cottage, so it made perfect sense that her family and friends would gather at the lake to celebrate her milestone birthday. This is the birthday card I made to celebrate her day, and help her enjoy spending time relaxing at the cottage.

It is now officially summer, so it's time to relax!! It's a nice thought don't you think? I know the days can still be busy, as we head off to work or school, but the school year is almost over, and we are getting to the time where families take vacation. Even if you are planning a 'stay-cation' it is a nice time of year to relax and enjoy being outside. Let my card take you away for a little sit outside while you go through your day.

When I was invited to my very first Stampin' Up! Workshop, I had no idea what to expect. While I had done crafts all my life, I had never really done any stamping, or made my own greeting cards. I really hadn't done a lot of papercrafting of any type. We made a Christmas card that was lovely, but then . . . we made a Bagalope. We turned a plain white envelope into a beautiful gift bag. . . and it was easy to do!!

As a display board stamper for our recent OnStage event in London, I had the task of making samples of cards with brand new, never before seen stamp sets. I have to say, this was a new challenge for me, and one that taught me a lot. One of the stamp sets I received was very different from anything I would normally purchase or use.

I love the Daisy Delight stamp set and coordinating Daisy punch. They make it easy to create quick and cute cards. I was very happy to see that they would still be available when the new annual catalogue comes out on June 1, but it will no longer be a bundle, so get it now and save 10% when you buy both. The Designer Series Paper I used for today's card will also be gone.

Well it looks like today is brought to you by the letter F, and the number Four!!!! Remember that from Sesame Street? That was a great show (it may still be, but I don't have any little ones so I'm not up on my children's programming!!), with some really cute characters. Today the letter F brings us four more cute characters.

A birthday is something to celebrate, and that can mean cake and ice cream (or other yummy treats!!), but these days many people are watching what they consume, or have an allergy to ingredients in those treats. I'm happy to say that Stampin' Up! has a solution that will still allow us to celebrate someone's birthday. The perfect birthday card . . .

As stampers, we know that CASEing (Create and Share Everything, or Copy and Selectively Edit) is a great way to create our own beautiful cards. This week for the Global Design Project our inspiration comes from the very talented Allison Okamitsu. The challenge is to CASE her card, so here is my card.
