Snow Swirled Christmas Card


I made this card for a shoebox swap for my Stampin’ Up group , The Philly Inkers. I used the Real Red cardstock as a back ground. I stamped “En Francois” background with black StazOn ink. Then on Whisper White cardstock I stamped the tree and sentiment from “Snow Swirled” in Glorious Green Classic Ink. I attached that to Glorious Green Cardstock, and tied it up with ¼” Real Red Grosgrain ribbon. I attached that to the Real Red card. To give it a little shine I added some Dazzling Diamonds to the tree. I must say that I am very proud of this card!

Season of Friendship


I love how this card turned out!! I made this one for a swap with the Philly Inkers group. First I used Very Vanilla cardstock. I crumpled up saran wrap and dabbed it into three colors, Real Red, Old Olive and So Saffron. I adhered the very vanilla to the red riding hood cardstock and then again to the old Olive, I then stamped the sentiment on Old Olive Cardstock adhered to the card and Viola!
I love that this set is so versitile! It comes with the tree (which I stamped in Chocolate chip) and then a few different smaller stamps, including the leaves, a bird, snowflakes and a flower. So you can change the look of the tree for the season!

Season of Joy


I made this card for a swap for the Philly Inkers Group. I used real red and glorious green cards stock. On Whisper White I stamped the tree from the Season of Joy Stampin Up set. I then used adhesive over the entire white piece and added Stampin Up's Dazzling Diamonds. I love this technique, as there is no need to use your heat gun!

Birthday Tag


I made these for a SWAP that I am in. They were made using the Tag Corner Punch by Stampin' Up!
Can I tell you how much I love that punch?? I never could cut my Tag corners straight, so I really needed this punch! It is so much easier to do now!!!!

Christmas Tag


I made these tags for a SWAP I am in on Cricut.com. I used a stamp from "Tags for All" a now retired set from Stampin' Up! I really like how these turned out!

6 x 6 Layout for SWAP


I have to confess that I have never made a 6x6 Layout before. I also do not feel my Layouts look all that great. I used a PageMap to come up with this. I think it looks pretty good. I wanted to show how the same layout could be used for different occasions. Here is the Layout as a wedding theme. Yes, that is me and my husband. We look so young! Oh right, it was before kids! :-)
Thanks for looking!

Crab and Company Card front


I LOVE this cute set! I made this card front, my second one since joining Stampin' Up, for a SWAP at a Downline meeting. I used the Versamark ink for the shell background. I think I am going to get a lot of use out of this set!
