Happy Halloween with GDP004

Ooooh!  I just love this week’s challenge from the Global Design Project.  We aren’t asking you to make a project inspired by colors, a sketch or a theme.  We are asking you to make a card inspired by a card by one of our talented designers.  First, I will share my project.   Then, I will share the project that inspired by creation.  Here’s my card for GDP-004: And here’s the banner for the challenge that…

Dear Friend – My Simple Card from Founder’s Circle

Yesterday I shared one of the cards I made with my new goodies from Founder’s Circle.  The Mint Macaron balloons on the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper made quite a festive backdrop for the card.  What fun!  Here’s the second card I made with this beautiful paper – a quick and simple card that showcases the paper perfectly: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Bold Panel.  This panel of banners and hearts from the Birthday Bouquet Designer…

For You – My Simple Card from Founder’s Circle

An Autumn Thank You with English Garden

I have a lot of awesome people in my life!  I recently had a great cause to send out a stack of thank you cards to some really great friends – I think I can handle that!  I’m so in love with the splattered flowers in English Garden Designer Series Paper that I immediately reached for that.  It gave me the formal-yet-casual look I was going for.  Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Border…

A Halloween Boo for PPA269

This week’s sketch for the Pals Paper Arts is going to tug at the creative thinker in you – because you’ll have to get creative to make this sketch work.  I could only see this in my head when I sat down to create, but I LOVE the projects the other Design Team Members created with this sketch.  Yippee!  Here’s my fun Halloween card for PPA269: And here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired…

I’ve shared quite a bit with you already about my wonderful trip to St. George, Utah for Stampin’ Up!’s 2015 Founder’s Circle – a retreat for the company’s Top 100 demonstrators in the United States and Canada.  What a trip.

Grateful: My Founder’s Circle Swap Card

I love to spend my crafting time creating new and fun cards – I don’t love to sit and make lots and lots of the same card.  When I do, though, I love to share those cards with you.  I’ve been away at Stampin’ Up!’s Founders Circle – a retreat for Stampin’ Up!’s Top 100 U.S. Demonstrators – this past week.  What a treat!  I’ll share more about the retreat early this week. Part of…

Peace on Earth

Today’s project is a quick and simple card with quite an impact.  With just a little bit of shiny and a whole lot of white, I was very happy with how this card turned out.  I really wish you could see this card in person.  🙂  Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Wonderland.  While there are some gorgeous sentiments in the Wonderland stamp set, the true value of this set is met with this…
