For The Kid In Us

Regardless of your age, it is tough to deny how cute some of our animal stamps and images are. Cute animals have a way of taking us back to our childhood, and bringing out the aaaawwwww factor!

Masculine Birthday With Mountain Air

Remember I mentioned I was having fun playing with the Mountain Air stamp set? There is so much you can do with this stamp set, using the front or the ‘back’ of the reversible stamps.

Golf Anyone?

It may be the middle of winter, and it sounds like we are in for some bad snow storms this weekend, but I know some people are headed off to warmer climates, and a few rounds of golf. Perhaps you have a golf vacation planned, and here is a card to get you “in the swing” (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!!)

December Birthday

Do you have friends and family with a birthday in December? It can be easy to get wrapped up in holiday preparation and forget about other important events, but December babies deserve a great birthday card just like everyone else in our lives. Today’s card is to wish everyone having a birthday this month a very happy day!

Sneak Peak - Timeless Tulips

When I was at OnStage recently, we got to see and play with some of the wonderful new products that will be available in the Mini Catalogue that goes live in January. That’s one of the fantastic perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. One of the new sets is Timeless Tulips, and it is a beautiful DistINKive stamp set with lovely tulips and sentiments. There is also a coordinating punch that you can bundle with the stamp set and take advantage of a 10% discount on these 2 great products. For today though, I just used stamping for my card, no punch.

An Interesting Colour Combination

My card today uses an interesting colour combination. One that quite frankly, I did not think would work well, . . . but it does!!! This card is for the FabFriday Challenge, so I wanted to ‘play by the rules’ and give it a shot.

What Is That DSP?

I have been having great fun colouring on Designer Series Paper with my Stampin’ Blends. You can see one of my recent posts here. Today I have another card that uses a gorgeous piece of DSP, and I have coloured it to change it up.

Bloom and Grow

Did you see my recent post with the magnolia I coloured with my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend? If not, you can see it here. I really like the way it turned out, so I decided to colour a whole garden of them!

Good Morning Blue Magnolia

It probably isn’t a secret, but blue is my favourite colour. I love the colour blue and would make way too many cards in blue if it weren’t for all the fantastic colours Stampin’ Up! offers, but today my card features Balmy Blue, a colour I love!

Happy Birthday Cow

Ever since my daughter was very little, she has loved pigs and cows. I’m not sure why, or where it started, but she still loves them today as an adult. You can imagine how happy I was to see the stamp set This Little Piggy. The cute pigs are so much fun. When the new annual catalogue came out in June my happy level went up another notch, with the Over The Moon stamp set. Now there is a cow stamp set for me to make more fun cards for my daughter.

Wishing You Your Happiest Birthday Yet

How many times have you wished someone their happiest birthday ever? I know I have said it, and written in on birthday cards. I don’t really want this year to be their happiest birthday ever, just the happiest birthday they have had yet. I hope that their next birthday will be even better than this one, but that is for another year. My card today will certainly let someone know I want them to have the happiest birthday thay have had yet. It’s their day, and I want to share in celebrating that.

Friendly Thoughts

My card today is for the Fab Friday Challenge. It is a colour challenge, and I must say, when I saw the colours they gave us I was not sure about them! They certainly are not colours I would generally put together, but trusting the challenge I moved forward, and surprisingly it works!!
