Radiant Sunflowers Bundle Sneak Peek

Hello friends!  Whew, still in the mid 90's and that's the forecast for the next week at least.  It's so hard to spend time outside when you can't catch your breath and you feel you're melting on the spot.  I want to know why you can't melt off fat while doing this!  The way I feel in the heat, I'm sure I should be at least 10 pounds lighter by now!  😆  Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way, right?  So, with a mind over matter plan, today's card is another fall themed card.  I suppose it could be used for different seasons if you changed the colors, but this card exudes a strong autumn vibe to me.

See what I mean about a fall feel?  The first thing I did with this card was to stamp this flower cluster from the Radiant Sunflowers bundle onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  This bundle is coming in September, and I can hardly wait for you to use it!  I used Pecan Pie ink for this to stay on the warm side.  After stamping, the coloring began.  

Stampin'Blends were used for this part:

Sunflower petals - Daffodil Delight Light & Dark

Sunflower centers - Pecan Pie Light & Dark

Flower - Daffodil Delight Dark, Timid Tiger Light

Leaves - Old Olive Light & Dark

At this point several extra leaves from the set were stamped with Pecan Pie ink and colored with Old Olive Light & Dark Blends.

All the pieces were die-cut with the matching dies in the set.  Now it was time to decide what to add to these flowers to make the card.  The card base is Pecan Pie cardstock that measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  It's scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half.

A wide strip 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" was cut from Crumb Cake cardstock.  A sentiment from the set was used to stamp onto this strip in the far bottom right corner.  Then comes the embossing.   I'm lovin' the new Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder which was used on this to give lots of texture.

This strip was attached to the folded card front using Tombow MultiPurpose Glue to hold securely.

There are some great prints in the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper coming in the catalog in September.  This brown-on-brown check highlighted the flowers nicely.  It measures 2 1/4" x 4".   But it needed something extra to set it apart from all the other brown tones on the card.  

I could have used a cardstock piece, but I remembered a golden yellow print from spring maybe two plus years ago now.  I had a few odd pieces of it left, so it's used here.  It measures 2 1/2" x 4 1/4".  The brown checked print was adhered to this with adhesive.  Then both pieces were added to the card front using adhesive.

The design still needed something else.  The grid from the Lily of the Valley die set was used to die-cut gold foil cardstock.  The two pieces were attached under the sunflower cluster using adhesive.  That bit of gold peeking out at the top and bottom was perfect.  The sunflowers were attached over the grids using Dimensionals.  Then the extra leaves were tucked in around the design to fill it out.

Several Gold Adhesive-backed Dots were sprinkled on the design.  Yep, they're in the new in the catalog coming out in September.

A smallish bow was made from the Crumb Cake color jute in the Neutrals Jute Combo that is also new in the catalog coming in September.  It's attached with a Mini Glue Dot.  The jute really continues the rustic feel of the finished card.

Hope this card idea gets you thinking fall.  Yes, I know there's still a couple weeks left in August for those last summer get-aways or picnics at the beach.  But this heat is so rough on me I'm really praying for cooler weather.  I do thank you for visiting my blog and hope you are inspired to give some of these products a try.  If you're looking for a demonstrator, I'd be happy to work with you.  If you are one of my customers and you haven't received your new September - December 2026 Catalog in the mail from me, please let me know so I can see what's going on.  Most of my customers really do become my friends, and I appreciate each one of you!

Happy stamping and creating,

Quick Card Featuring Fall DSP

Hello again my friends.  Today's card is a very simple layered card featuring two new Designer Series Papers for are both fabulous in their own rights.  Both are fall themed, but they have a distinctly different feel to them.  It was fun to pair them together with this quick and easy card that was finished in minutes.  If you like this idea, but don't have either of these paper packs yet, why not try this design using what you have on hand.  Just work with two different prints that have a similar color palette.  Make sure one is a tiny print, and one is bolder - more of a focal point than a background.  Let me show you what I mean.

The part of this card I decided upon first was the soft monochromatic sunflower print from the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper.  Who new Cajun Craze could be such a soft color?  This piece measures 3" x 4" which makes it a good size to be the focal image.

Next, Cajun Craze was chosen for the card base.  It measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is scored at 4 1/4" and folded in half.

It took a few tries to decide on this interesting background layer.  It's from the Autumn Opulence Designer Series Paper pack.  It's a nice background by itself, but...

I've been reaching so often for my new Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder that just came a few days ago.  Wow!  I love the texture this adds to the paper and either side works wonderfully.  After embossing, this was added to the card front using Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue to hold.

I thought of using Cajun Craze as a layer next.  But after trying, it just got lost in the design.  Switched to a layer of Basic Black and that worked very well.  It measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/4".  The two pieces were attached with adhesive.

A Black & Very Vanilla Large Checked Ribbon was wrapped around these layers top to bottom then tied into a knot.  I liked the check with the country feel of the design so far.

The sentiment is one of the pre-made sentiments in the Greetings for All Mix & Match set.  These greetings come either white on black or black on white so they're very versatile.  I chose this white on black sentiment, but it was just a little stark and didn't blend well with the warm tones of the card.  The Ivory Stampin'Blend marker was used to color over the white.  Now it fits the colors so much better.

The sentiment was attached over the ribbon with a strip of Dimensionals to hold in place.  And to keep the ribbon from wiggling around, a Mini Glue Dot was tucked under the knot.  Perfect.

The two layers were attached to the card front with Dimensionals.

Several of the Cajun Craze & Gold Dots were scattered onto the design for a little bling.  I know these are retired, but they were my first pick.  There are several other items that could work, so use what you think works best.

The inside of the card has a 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Very Vanilla.  The sentiment is stamped in black ink.  (It's retired, sorry!  I always keep all my sentiment stamp sets to use as needed)

A different print from the Sunflower Fields DSP pack was used as an accent.  This measures 3/4" x 4" and is attached with adhesive.  And the card is finished.  

It definitely took me longer to type out this post than it took to make it.   I love making these quick and easy cards that feature the DSP as the focal point when I'm in a hurry to get a card out in the mail right away.  This is for a friend whose birthday I almost forgot.  Oops!  But it's ready to go in the mail as we speak, just in time!

Thanks for stopping in again to see what's been going on here.  Seems like every day somewhere around 4-5pm or so we've been getting a gusty lightning and thunderstorm that might hang around an hour or two and then be gone. We've gotten about 1/2"+ of rain almost every day! Add that to our temps being in the mid 90's all week and things have been very muggy and uncomfortable.  On the bright side, I don't think I've ever seen our grass (aka weeds) look so lush and green in August before!  So, is that a good or a bad thing?  Depends on your point of view, I guess.  Anyway, that just gives me more of an excuse to get down into my stamp room and putter around.  Now, if I could just get all these posts done, I'd be really happy!

Happy stamping and creating,

Fun For Fall Card

Hello friends and happy fall y'all!  I've made a sharp pivot away from summer and have jumped solidly into fall with the cards I've made in the last few days.  That means I've got a lot to share and need to start in getting these posts written.  Have you seen the Fun For Fall stamp and die bundle in the Online Exclusives yet?   I love scarecrows so this set was a must-have for me.  But when I got it and really paid attention to all the details included in the bundle, I was totally hooked.  If you like die-cutting (yes Sue, this is you for sure!) you'll love this set too.  This card features both the die-cutting and coloring to make a cute fall scene.

The card starts with a card base of Pecan Pie which is a perfect fall color.  This is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is folded in half.  Next is a skinny layer of Basic Black cardstock that measures 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".  On top of this is a layer of Golden Glow.  This is such a lovely warm color and perfect for the card.  The layer measures 5 1/4" x 4".  These layers are attached together with adhesive.

Next is a layer of Basic White that we'll do all the stamping and layering onto before attaching to the card front.  I started with Blending Brushes and both Balmy Blue and Old Olive inks.  The blue was blended across the top two-thirds for the sky, and the bottom has a blending of Old Olive to look like grass.

Next the hay bales and crows were stamped onto Basic White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  There were three bales and 5 crows stamped.  They were colored with Stampin'Blends:

Hay - Golden Glow Light

Twine - Crumb Cake Light

Beaks - Daffodil Delight Dark

Bodies - Pebbled Path Dark (I wanted it a little lighter than black)

After coloring, these pieces were die-cut with the matching dies in the set.  Then it was time to die-cut the rest of the pieces for the card.

Corn stalks - Old Olive cardstock (cut 4 times)

Ears - Daffodil Delight cardstock (cut enough to fit stalks)

Fence - Crumb Cake cardstock (cut 3 sections)

Before adding anything to the white layer, the sentiment was stamped near the top of the layer.   I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The ears of corn were attached behind the greenery with a little dab of adhesive.  Then 3 of the stalks were positioned on the left of the card and attached with adhesive.  Then 2 of the fence sections were attached over the corn.  Used adhesive for this. 

 

Then the right side was worked on.  First the 3 stacked hay bales were attached with adhesive.  Then 3 of the crows were added.  I didn't want to use Dimensionals, but wanted a little definition.  So, each of the crows have two Mini Glue Dots rolled up and placed behind them to hold in place to add just a little height.

I couldn't resist the "hay there" sentiment, so it was stamped under the first sentiment.  I'm still wishy-washy about whether I should have added it.  But it's there now, so it's staying!

The white layer was finished so it was attached to the card front with adhesive.  (I tried Dimensionals, but I didn't like it, so they were peeled off)

For the inside of the card, I thought it would be fun to have a mini version of the card front added inside too.

The bottom of the layer has a small band of Old Olive ink blended along this to mimic the front.  I added the last corn stalk set to the right with the fence added in front of it.  

The sentiment is another one from the Fun For Fall set.  It's stamped with the same black ink.

I couldn't forget the last couple of crows that were left.  They were added to the inside with Mini Glue Dots also.  Then this white layer was attached inside the card to finish it.

There's no extra bling added to this card.  With all the die-cut layers going on, there didn't seem to be a need for anything else.  I think it would just get too busy looking.

Thanks for hanging out with me on this fall adventure.  There will be a few more coming soon.  Hope you're ready for fall.  Since kids are back to school now, it seems to be the right time for fall themed creations.

Happy stamping and creating,

Forever Florals with Arches

Hello stamping friends!  It's back to school time here already.  I keep thinking this summer was so short and hot we really didn't do anything.  But that doesn't make any difference.  School started this past week anyway, and football season is underway.  Normally I really wouldn't care much for football.  I hate to admit it's the one sport that really never made a whole lot of sense to me.  But since my youngest grandson is playing again this year, I'm trying to figure it out.  Wish me luck in this venture!!  That said, it is time for another post sharing what I've been stamping lately.  I've been playing with the Everyday Arches dies on different projects lately.  The shape is easy to work with and can be used in different ways on my projects.  Today's card starts with the arch shape and pairs it with the Forever Florals stamps and dies to create a soft card that makes me smile.  I think anyone would be happy to receive this card in their mailbox.

The base for the card is the lovely Hydrangea Hue which is one of my all-time favorites.  A layer of the denim-looking print in the Paper Medley Designer Series Paper was cut to match.   The measurements are 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".  There needed to be a little more definition between this layer and the card base.  

A layer of 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper was added.  This measures 4" x 5 1/4".  This creates a very skinny frame around the denim print that shines nicely when the light hits it just right.  It's surprising just how much this skinny layer adds to the overall design.  (If I would have been thinking ahead, I would have die-cut a smaller layer from the inside of this pearlized paper to use later on another project.)

The layers were all attached together with adhesive between them.  This keeps them flat and the rest of the card stands out more.

Next was die-cutting the Basic White arched layer.  The 5th largest Everyday Arches die was used for this.  After cutting, one of the sentiments in the Forever Florals set was stamped near the top with Hydrangea Hue ink.  I really like the four sentiments included in the set and have used them often.

The Forever Florals die set has two different sizes of just tiny flower dies.  Both sizes were used to die-cut Basic White cardstock.  Then they were used again with 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper to cut several pieces.  There is also a multi-leaf stem in the die set.  This was used to die-cut 3 stems in Peaceful Pine and 2 cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstocks.  All these pieces were arranged and adhered to the bottom of the arch.

The arch was placed onto the card base, but it looked too plain.  It just needed something to break up the large amount of background.  The Lily of the Valley set has a die that makes this pretty trellis look.  It's die-cut from Basic White Thick cardstock.  After cutting, it was attached as shown flat onto the card front.  The arch was added to this using Dimensionals to hold in place.

A few of the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies in Hydrangea Hue were scattered on the design for a little extra interest.

That's it for today's card.  Seems like I ended up pulling in bits of different sets to create this card.  Sometimes you just need something a little extra to make a design work.  Hope you give this idea a try.  This Hydrangea Hue color makes up into such pretty cards.

It's still August and Stampin'Up! still has its selected cardstock and Designer Series Paper sale going on.  Visit the store to see what is on sale.  Getting ready for Christmas card making, I just ordered several 12" x 12" Two-Tone Cardstock colors that were on sale.  Can hardly wait to get started on some of the ideas I have rolling around in this brain of mine.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon

Violets Fun Fold Idea

Hello friends.  I've been flitting around making cards for so many people having shoulder, knee, hip replacements lately.  Are we becoming a country of bionic people??  There is definitely a rash of them going on.  Why is everyone scheduling them now?  Something going on that I don't know about?  I have no idea, but it's been keeping me busy making and sending out cards.  I've been trying to send a card that reflects that person as much as possible, so they've all been one-of-a-kind.  One of the cards used the Framed Violets set and turned out really pretty so I thought I'd share it with you.

Because I wanted to use the Violets Dreams Designer Series Paper, the first order of business was to find an image the I could die-cut from the pretty prints.  The 5th largest die from the Everyday Arches die set was used to cut the image.  From this, the colors on the card were chosen.

The card base is Fresh Freesia that measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  It's scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4" to make the z-fold.

I chose the back side of the print which is a lovely soft stripe as the inner layer.  This measures 5 1/4" x 4".  It's attached with adhesive on the inside of the card.

Couldn't really find a print I wanted for the front fold-back section.  I ended up using this checked vellum print from the Berry Botanical Vellum that was a previous Product of the Month from a couple of months back.  I'm so glad I had some of this left, because it's the perfect contrast for the rest of the card.  It measures 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" and is attached with adhesive.

Two pieces of Basic White cardstock were die-cut with the 4th largest die from the Everyday Arches set.  One of them was used to back the DSP print that was already cut and one was saved for the inside of the card.

One of the white pieces and the DSP print piece were adhered together with adhesive.  Then they were positioned on the card front.  Dimensionals were used to attach this.  Make sure they are added only to the left side of the arch so there is no problem opening the card.

The sentiment chosen for the card is from the Prayers & Promises stamp set.  This simple sentiment was stamped on a 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock.  Petunia Pop ink was used for this because it's a little darker than the Fresh Freesia, but it still blends nicely with the colors.  Then the edges were trimmed with paper snips to finish.  The final length is 2 1/2" long and it's attached with Dimensionals.

A Fresh Freesia 1/4" Satin Ribbon was tied into a bow and attached near the top of the front layers with Mini Glue Dots.

So far, I don't think this design needs any bling added.  I may change my mind when I write a note inside and I'm ready to mail it.  What do you think?  Any suggestions?

Back to the inside of the card.  Using the 2nd white arched piece I cut, another of the sentiments in the Prayers & Promises was stamped on this.  Petunia Pop ink was used again for this sentiment.

In the bottom corner of this white layer, a single violet was stamped as an accent.  This time I did use Fresh Freesia because it is a little lighter.

After the stamping, the layer was attached inside the card, making sure it won't show.   

TIP - Put adhesive on the back of this layer.  Open the card with the top flap folded back.  This way you can easily see the edge.  Lay the sentiment layer over this face down and line up the edges.  Then close the card.  The inside layer will be attached in just the right place.

One last look.  I just love the soft colors and the fun fold on this card.  Because the main image was die-cut from a DSP print, this card was made in no time at all.  Still pretty, but so easy to make up several of these for when needed.

FYI - Have you heard that Stampin'Up! is having a sale on selected Designer Series Papers and Cardstock?  This is going on August 4th - 31st.  You can click here to see what's available.  There are even some Two-Tone Cardstocks in the sale!  Stock up on some of your favorites or use this opportunity to try something new!

Another piece of information for you - there is a new Product of the Month also.  Check here to see how pretty this is!  It's going to be perfect for some of my fall-themed cards.  I'm sure you'll love it too!

Happy stamping and creating,

Fall Scarecrow Card

Hello my friends.  Are you ready for a cute little autumn themed card?  I hope so, because that's what I have in store for you today.  For some reason I just love a cute scarecrow come fall.  It just seems the epitome of going to cider mills and apple orchards or going to pumpkin patches.  Brings back sweet memories of fun times.  I've got a picture of one of my little grandsons in a patch of sunflowers and a scarecrow that is one of my favorites.  I'm sure he'd be embarrassed by it now, but I love it!  When I saw the cute Fun For Fall stamp and die bundle show up in the Online Store at Stampin'Up!, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.  Here's the first card made with the set.  Just stamping and coloring, no die-cutting the images.

Isn't he just adorable?  He really didn't take much time to color at all, and you can change up the colors to fit your ideas.  I have new plaid DSP on order that wasn't here yet. But I did have a piece of A Little Latte Designer Series Paper left over from last fall.  I really love this plaid and was sparingly playing with it to make it stretch as far as possible.  Isn't it the perfect match for this little scarecrow?

My first job was to find a die that would fit the scarecrow nicely.  I used two sizes of dies from the Sweet Words & Labels set.  The smaller die cut Basic White cardstock and the larger cut Pecan Pie.

The scarecrow and leaves were stamped with Pecan Pie ink.  Then colored with a bunch of different Stampin' Blends:

Misty Moonlight, Lemon Lolly, Timid Tiger, Golden Glow, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Darling Duckling, Pebbled Path, and Bronze/Ivory

Whew, that's a lot of colors, but most of them were just a bit here and there.  Of course, you can change colors to fit your design.  I was trying to get most of these colors to blend with the DSP.

After coloring it all, the design was spattered with a Pecan Pie marker to break up the open white background.

The card base was cut from Pecan Pie to blend with the DSP.  The plaid print was attached to the card base with adhesive.  The two die-cut layers were put together with adhesive.  Then they were attached to the card base with Dimensionals.

The tiny sentiment is from Fun For Fall.  It's stamped with Pecan Pie ink then trimmed to shape.  It's attached partially to the labels with adhesive and a Mini Dimensional added on the overlap part.

The inside of the card is a layer of Basic White cardstock.  All the stamps here are from the Fun For Fall stamp set and were all stamped with Pecan Pie ink.  The three of the hay bales were stamped stacked at the bottom.  A scattering of leaves was added to the design.  And we can't forget the two crows to finish it off.  The same Stampin' Blends were used to color these pieces.

Again, the background was spattered with Pecan Pie ink for interest.  It was surprising just how much those little speckles changed the look of the design!

To complete the design, a double strand of Linen Thread was tied into a bow and attached at the bottom of the die-cut layer using Mini Glue Dots.

Several of the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in the Timid Tiger color were added for a little bling.  Even though the color listed on the DSP was Calypso Coral, I think the Timid Tiger color blended very nicely with it.

Well, what did you think of this little guy?  Doesn't he make up into an adorable scarecrow?  I had lots of fun coloring him to match the plaid.  Now I'm waiting for my new DSP prints and plaids to get here to see how else he's going to show up next.

Hope you're inspired to get out one of your outline images and do a little coloring yourself.  For me coloring is pretty relaxing and enjoyable.  I should really do it more often.

Thanks for stopping in to see what's new.  August is just around the corner, and the new catalog will be sent out soon.  If you're one of my customers, please make sure you've told Stampin'Up! that you want to receive mailings from me so I can send you one!!  There is no time like the present to start thinking about all your autumn projects.  Oh my, maybe even Christmas too!  I think I've totally missed out on Christmas in July to get a start on my Christmas cards.  Guess I'll just have my own Christmas in August instead.  You just never know what I might feel like creating!  I hope you'll check in often to see.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon

Montage of Simply Leaves Ideas

Hello stamping buddies!  I've been playing around with the Simply Leaves stamp set quite a bit lately.  I can't seem to leave it alone!  Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to posting all the cards separately.  So, today I thought I'd do something a little differently.  Instead of going in depth on a single card, I'd give a thumbnail version of each card and share them all at once.  Let's see how this works out.  I'd love to hear your feedback on what you think about it.

For the first idea, the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham DSP would be used.  Start with Very Vanilla cardstock for the card base.  A 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Very Vanilla was cut and embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder.  

This layer was softly colored on the edges with a Blending Brush and Golden Glow ink.  Then it was attached to the card base with Dimensionals.  

The Gingham DSP in Golden Glow was cut to 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" and attached to the vanilla layer with adhesive.

Two different large leaves were stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  One used Golden Glow and the other was Cajun Craze ink.  Both were punched with the coordinating punch.  The small leaf was stamped with Cajun Craze ink and fussy cut.  The leaves are arranged on the card and attached with both adhesive and Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Simply Leaves.  It's stamped on Very Vanilla with Cajun Craze ink.  A little Golden Glow ink was brushes on the edges.  It's attached with Dimensionals.  

A double strand of Linen Thread was tied into a bow and attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Three of the 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow were added to the design.

This card starts with a Basic Beige cardstock base.  A 3 3/4" x 5" layer of the same was cut.  It's embossed with the new Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder that will be available in August.  A slight amount of Peaceful Pine ink was added to it with a Blending Brush.  

A 3 7/8"x 5 1/8" layer of Peaceful Pine was added between the two layers.

Three different leaves from the Simply Leaves set were stamped onto Basic Beige cardstock, then punched with the coordinating punch.  Two leaves were off-stamped before stamping to give a lighter color.  

The leaves were arranged and attached to the card front using both adhesive and Dimensionals.

The 3/8" Bordered Ribbon in Peaceful Pine was cut in half lengthwise then tied into a double bow.  It's attached with Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment is from Banner Sayings stamp set.  It's stamped on a Basic Beige strip with Peaceful Pine ink.  A skinny layer of Peaceful Pine cardstock is added behind the stamped layer.  Then it's added to the card front with Dimensionals.

Two of the red Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes were attached to the card for a cute pop of color.

This version has a Golden Glow base with a layer of the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham DSP added.

A 2 1/4" wide strip of Basic White was punched with a retired edge punch to give a lacy design.  This was added across the card front.

Three of the large leaves from Simply Leaves were stamped using either Cajun Craze or Peaceful Pine inks.  The golden one is punched from 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper.  Nice addition!

The sentiment is from the new Fun For Fall stamp set.  It's stamped with Cajun Craze ink.

There is a bow added made from the Peaceful Pine Ribbon.  It's attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Two of the 2026-2028 In Color Dots in the Peaceful Pine color were added near the sentiment.

The last card is a CASE card from Barb Brimhall - BZBStamper.  Even though I cased the card there are a few changes.

The card base is Basic Beige.  Five different prints from the Paper Medley DSP were used to punch out two leaves each.  The dotted vein stamp was stamped onto each leaf with Cajun Craze ink.  The leaves were arranged on the card then attached with adhesive.  Then any extra hanging over the edges was cut off.

A Sweet Words & Labels die was used to cut a Basic White label.  Another sentiment from the Fun For Fall set was stamped with Peaceful Pine ink.  The label is attached with Dimensionals.

A double strand of Linen Thread was used to tie a bow that is attached with Mini Glue Dots.

One last look at the mix of cards shared today.  I hope you have enough information that you can copy any of these that catch your eye.   They were all fairly quick and easy to create.  I find that to be a good way to build up my stash of cards so I'm ready when something is needed at the last minute.  Any questions you have about any of them, feel free to contact me at sharoncarr50@gmail.com

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the new format.  Does less commentary and less info on measurements etc., but more ideas shown work?  Also, do the products in bold type help or hinder your perusal of the ideas.  Just trying to give you a better experience and make it easier to try the ideas yourself.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon
