Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020

I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets. The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor.

Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

April 18, 2025

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played? We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards. These are mine:

Here are each of them below. The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

Save

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

Save

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath. Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

Save

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold.

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

April 17, 2025

Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month. Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.

Save

You can find each of these kits and many more on this link. Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits. It's a lovely break from thinking and planning. But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

Save

My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit. I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day. What a perfect gift!
