Throwback Thursday: Circle Wreath Card

I can't remember how long ago it was when I made this card, but it was a few years ago.  It's so simple, yet cute.  It's amazing what you can do with a cirlce punch and Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper.  And as we all know, everything that is old is new again.  Below is a more modern sample shared by my friend Lilly Ruiz from her monthly stamping class.



Technique Tuesday: Pop-Up Cards

A group of us used to do a monthly swap and every month we had a different theme, idea or color scheme.  These are the samples from our "pop up" swap.










Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor Box Die Cut

I love the Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor Box die cut.  I know it's retired, but the uses for this die cut are amazing.  I've made this as a favor, as a box for treats, a T-light... it's just amazing.  Here are just some of the ideas collected from swaps, meetings, etc.

Craft Room Inspiration: Christmas Samples Part I

I find lots of inspiration in my own craft room and every once in a while I love to post pictures to inspire everyone else.  Recently I removed and packed away all my card swaps and class projects and updated everything with Christmas themed cards and swaps.  Enjoy the tour and I hope this inspires you!

My craft room is my garage and I share the room with a refrigerator and stand up freezer.  So why not decorate them and make them part of the craft room!




These are the many projects and swaps from meetings and classes...  lots of goodies!
