Stampin' Up! Sympathy Cards

It's unfortunate, but some times we need sympathy cards.  I think any pretty set will work for sympathy as long as you keep it simple.  I just got this swirl set, Stampin' Up! Flowering Flourishes and I think I can do a lot with this one!

Technique Tuesday: Clouds

Clouds, is that really a technique?  I think it is... it's definitely a nice background and such a simple technique.  But it does liven up the background on the sample below.  Love it.



Confirmation Favors: Coaster Calendars

Made these magnetic coaster calendars for a friend for her son's confirmation.  I actually made them last year, but I don't think I ever posted them.  They look great in the cello bags with the bow.  This DSP makes them masculine and appropriate for a boys confirmation.

Stamping With Scraps: Watercolor Wonder

Stampers do not like to throw anything away... especially not their scraps.  I keep all my DSP scraps (Designer Series Paper)... they are just too pretty to throw away.  But what do you do with all those small scraps?  So I came up with the theme "Stamping with Scraps".  Below is a sample which shows a great way to use your scraps and create a beautiful card!  I used various circle punches for this card, but it would also look great with squares!!


Stampin' Up! Watercolor Wonder DSP from the Occasions Mini



Reminder:  from a previous post....

I like to store my scraps in 9x12 Clear Velcro Envelopes.  I keep an envelope with each paper series pack.  So I have the pack of DSP in the paper slot and on top of the pack is one of these clear envelopes and all the scraps for that particular DSP pack are in that envelope.  Keeps everyone organized and together.

First Communion Card

I made this card a while ago and it's from an old post, but I know it's communion and confirmation season.  Seemed appropriate to post today.

Throwback Thursday: Embrace Life Birthday Card in a Box

Today's Throwback Thursday project is a "birthday card in a box".  I made this box for a swap many years ago.  The Stampin' Up! Embrace Life stamp set is retired, but you can definitely make this project and substitute with a current stamp set.

 



Happy Anniversary Personally Yours!

It's hard to believe it's been a year already since I went live with this blog.  So I made this card to celebrate...  I love the 2013-2015 In-Color DSP paper pack...  so pretty.  Hope this inspires you.
