I love the High Tide stamp set. If you check out page 145 in the Annual Catalogue, you will see a few great projects made with this stamp set. I especially love how they have cropped some of the greetings to give even more flexibility to how you use this set. For my card today I used a full sentiment stamp that shares a great message of support.

Read MoreAs a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I belong to a group of demonstrators that have a weekly business chat. The woman that facilitates these chats is fantastic. She has been a demonstrator for many years and has lots of great experience and ideas. She openly shares these with us, along with research she has done on each topic.
Recently she lost her son, a devasting but very real life event. I wanted to make a sympathy card for her. Something simple that would let her know that at a terrible time there were people that wanted to support her.
Butterflies can be beautiful and intricate in their colouring, or more simple and elegant. Stampin’ Up! products help you create all these types of butterflies and everything in between. My card today features a simple, yet elegant copper butterfly.
Read MoreSometimes our cards have stamped images or items we have cut with our Big Shot, but sometimes I like to make a card where the sentiment is the main focal point. My card today is just that type.
Read MoreToday 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.
Read MoreToday I have another card made with a Delightfully Detailed Memories and More card. I love using these to make quick and easy cards with great patterns and colour combinations.
Read MoreI have been using the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper recently, mostly for baby cards. You can see one of them here. This DSP is great for baby cards, but also lots of other types of cards. My card today was not for a baby, but instead S.B. (Sweet Boyfriend!). He loves sitting on the dock at the cottage just looking at all the stars and the wonder of the universe beyond us, so the DSP of a night sky with stars twinkling was perfect for him.
Read MoreI have been making some baby cards, and had one last kangaroo that I had stamped, coloured and cut sitting on my desk. Since this is Clean Up Friday, I decided that this was what I would use for a card.
Read MoreHave you checked out the Memories and More card packs in the annual catalogue? They are fantastic for memory keeping, but they also make great cards that are fast to put together, and fabulous to give!
Read MoreWe have lots of dragon flies at the cottage which is great as they feed on mosquitoes! These dragon flies have a sunny background, reminding me of the warm sunny days we have had for most of the summer this year.
Read MoreThe Global Design Project has a sketch challenge this week. I decided to make a double challenge for myself today, by using bits and pieces I have accumulated recently.
Read MoreThe 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.
Read MoreYou may recall me mentioning that I needed more baby cards in my stash. You can see the post about that [here]. Today I have another baby card, this time using the adorable Kangaroo and Koala baby from the Animal Expedition Suite. I love these guys and they are so cute for a baby card.
