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.

Artist of the Month showcase: Donna with the Sending Love bundle

April 16, 2024

Donna chose the Sending Love bundle for here 'Artist of the Month' showcase.

Today I'll share half of the cards she made and the other half tomorrow.

Save

This one is a favorite of mine. There's something about the color combination. Vanilla with Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral. And her coloring!

Next is a card that looks just like a postcard!

Save

She stamped a background on the Starry Sky 'Postcard' layer then added the best 'faux' postcard over it. Below is the inside view:

Next is her amazing slimline card; it's a huge WOW!

Save

Isn't this an amazing scene? She used Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and the In Color DSP. She created the hills with the Basic Borders dies seen here. They're half off right now at just $17.40 instead of $29. I've used these so often and am very sad they're retiring.

Save

The cloudy sky was created by using the cloud/scalloped Basic Border dies as a mask (top die seen above). She also used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here for the stitched cloud die-cuts; they're just $19.50 and were $39. The 'Sending' die-cut greeting is from the Sending dies seen here.  They're also on sale for $19.80.

Look at these Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card – Fast & Fabulous!

April 15, 2024

Do you ever want to craft & create but don't have enough time to get out multiple supplies and think up ideas? Time should never stop you from creating!

I made a few of these cards on last week's Live video and afterwards made more; all in just a few minutes!

Save

I didn't need any inks or stamps; I used the greetings in the card pack. So fast!

I used the Sweet Thoughts card pack seen here; it's 40% off right now. And the cards & envelopes are also on sale. See them here.

There are times you need to make quick, easy cards just to get your creative fix!

Save

I did use a paper trimmer to cut some of the cards into pieces. For instance notice the colorful striped edges on a few of the cards. Those are all from one M & More card; I cut it into 3 pieces.

Who wouldn't love to give or receive these pretty cards?!

Save

I used just half a package of these beautiful cards to make these 15 full cards.  These Memories & More cards in the pack are discounted right now in the Last Chance list. They're now $6 instead of $10. See them here.

Save

The photo of the cards above does not do them justice! Check out the stack on the above left. The package includes 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts that are fun to embellish with.

You can use these for cards OR scrapbooking. I shared my Sweet Thoughts scrapbook pages on Friday's post; see it here. Click here to see my pre-cut scrapbook kit (or tutorial) in my Shop.

Save

You can see the envelopes behind these cards. They are included in the cards & envelopes pack seen here. They're larger than our standard cards – finished size is 6 1/4" X 4 1/4" and are also discounted to $8 instead of $10.

Save

I did add Iridescent Pearls and a few ribbons to these cards. Not necessary but always fun to embellish!

Save

I hope you don't let time stop you from crafting. Add a few of these Memories & More cards or a kit from our Kit Collection for those times you want to create easily without much 'work'.
