Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the cool weather and the crispness in the air. I love the warm, aromatic meals during Fall and the colors in the trees. There’s nothing like wearing a light sweater and knowing I don’t really need it. As we prepare for Thanksgiving, our craft projects are filled with warm colors that are often tucked away in Spring and Summer. Today’s post is all about those colors….
You are not seeing double. After I created yesterday’s card with the Gleaming Ornaments cutout, I liked the layout so much that I created a second card with a different punch and a different sheet of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper but all the same elements as the first card. Here’s my CASE of my card that was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge: For reference, here’s the card I…
There’s something special about the negative space left by a punch – it’s even more special, though, when that space is filled with gorgeous, shiny paper. I reached for one of my Gleaming Ornaments punches and my Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper to make this card for this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Brightly Gleaming….
When I saw Jen Mitchell’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week, I knew I wanted to play along. There are so many ways to interpret the square layout. I decided to play with a Fall theme but to use soft, sweet colors that aren’t always top-of-mind this time of year. Here’s my card: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Gather Together. I love this sentiment…
“You warm my heart” – is there any sweeter way to showcase this sentiment that to layer it on a backdrop of cold snow and warm mittens? I love this sentiment, and I love this paper, so the combination of them really warms my heart. See what I did there? Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders The Products. The panels on my card are pulled from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper,…

I don’t always send Halloween cards, but a fun card is always nice to receive. This year, I made a bunch of sweet-and-simple cards to send to some of my top customers from the past several months. There’s a little bit of layering and some great Halloween colors on this card. Here’s the card I mailed out: And here’s a look at the inside of the card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Halloween Sentiments. I love…

Don’t you love the creative side of Halloween? Even if you don’t like to be scared (add me to that list) or don’t like to frighten others, there’s something fun about smiling kids in costumes or the joy of October 31 for kinds at heart. Halloween comes with it’s own palette of colors, spooky images and fun sentiments. To help you with ideas for fun cards or treat-giving ideas for Halloween (it’s two days away!),…
Pink, green and gray. This week’s color challenge (more specifically Old Olive, Lovely Lipstick and Smoky Slate) were destined for a modern Christmas card, don’t you think? Well, that’s exactly what I did. With a little help from some incredible products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Holiday Catalog, I pulled this card together and was merry all the way: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Holly Jolly…
