It's Saturday so today I have a simple card for you. Following the simple layout makes the card quick and easy. The strips of DSP give the illusion that I used a bigger piece of the patterned paper. This covers more of the background and conserves the paper so we can make more cards. The … Continue reading Pretty Florals Birthday Card
Happy Wednesday! Today I have a fun birthday card for all of those kids (and adults) who have a fancy for dinosaurs. My boys were especially fascinated by these huge prehistoric creatures, as were many of the students that have passed through my classroom doors. Remember the Land Before Time movies? We had the first … Continue reading Pretty Pink Dino Birthday Card
I don't know about you, but when I make a card, I might have an idea in my head before I begin. Marilyn here with my process for designing a card. The card usually has a couple similarities to what I envisioned, but what I come up with is always different. Today's card is one … Continue reading Pretty Monochromatic Card
Today I have a fun and pretty card that uses an arched frame to accentuate the floral images. Though it looks complicated, it really isn't. It is simplified by die cutting and easy coloring. Marilyn here with another card. As an aside, if you haven't had a chance yet to check out the new July … Continue reading Fun Mixed Florals Card

For … Continue reading Refreshing Cheers & Sips Card

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
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
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
