Today I thought I would try something new. I've water colored with Stampin' Up! ink pads before, but usually just as a wash. Today I decided to try coloring in an image. I chose the lighthouse image from Framed Scenes stamp set because it has detailed, drawn lines without a lot of shading. Plus, the … Continue reading Framed Scenes Birthday Card

Trusty Tools Birthday Card
Today's card uses the Trusty Tools stamp set and dies. If you came to the last class, you may have made the Trusty Tools Father's Day card. It used the retired DSP for the tools, and I thought it would be nice to make a card using the stamps and dies instead, since they are … Continue reading Trusty Tools Birthday Card
Fun Notes & Totes Card
Today I have a card using the Notes & Totes bundle. This fun set has dies that create the tote that I used here or it can be modified to create a bag. It has a bunch of pieces, but it comes together pretty easily. It would be great if the flowers were so easily … Continue reading Fun Notes & Totes Card

Simple Impressions Abloom Card
Happy Saturday! Today I have a simple card, (and I hope Dot agrees!) that uses the Impressions Abloom bundle that I used earlier this month, but I used a different flower from the set. This set has three different flowers to mix and match. I toyed with the colors a little bit and I'll post … Continue reading Simple Impressions Abloom Card
All Zipped Up Birthday Card
Today I'm used the All Zipped Up bundle to create this simple card. Looks are deceiving in that this card was not simple!

There may be videos … Continue reading All Zipped Up Birthday Card
