Christmas in July - Woodlands Wreath

I saw a version of this card online, and really liked it!  I messed around with the elements a bit, and came up with this!
As you're aware, I rarely make only one card at a time.. with this card as an exception.

I'm going to make more of these but wanted to try one first to see if it turned out as well on paper as it did in my head.  I made quite a few changes from the original I saw, and will make some other changes to the subsequent duplicates.
I think this will be one of my Stamp-A-Stack Christmas cards for my club.  SO pretty!  I love the copper foil on top of the darker espresso acorn.

I really like the Pretty Pines die cuts - they're so very pretty!  I just don't use them much.  I wonder if it's because I don't want to hassle with pulling them apart or what.... but I realize that's my own issue and they really weren't a problem when I made them!  Stay tuned... I've got more cards coming with the Pretty Pines dies on the way!

Dual Purpose Card: Celebrate Citizenship and 4th of July

I made this card for a family relative that recently got her citizenship!  We were so happy for her!  My husband and I went through the same process, and can appreciate the journey!

This card actually came together very quickly.  Die cuts, a bit of stamping, some adhesive and voilá!  You have a very cute flag card.
You can't see it in the picture, but I used Wink of Stella to give the stars some sparkle.

Take off the sentiment and you have a fantastic 4th of July card!

Gift Set of Ten Cards in a Case

Click on any of the ten cards to see a larger view.

This is a set of ten cards I worked on throughout 2016 to have ready as Christmas presents for family and very close friends.  I made 10 sets.... so yes, it was 100 cards! It was totally worth it!  The cards use my very favorite Stampin' Up! paper to date:  Painted Petals.  It was in the Occasions catalog for 2015, I believe.  The entire stack is incredibly versatile as you'll see below in the cards.

I await another paper stack that is again this versatile.  Painted Petals...  Beautiful!

I added details and embellishments to the cards, and gave the set packaged in a decorated wood stamp case with a coordinating pen.  


An embellishment on this card includes a die from the Swirly Scribbles dies.

This card is heavily embellished with a stamped butterfly, a bow, and a tag using two stamp sets.


I LOVE this technique!  So simple, yet absolutely stunning!  This technique can be used with any of the DSP to make amazing cards your friends and family will OOOhh and AAAH over!
Lots of layers on this card as well as a die cut that coordinates with the stamped words.

One of my absolute favorites.  So pretty in Wisteria and Daffodil.

NOTE:  PLEASE don't become overwhelmed by the amount of materials for this project.  If you have Stampin' Up! materials, chances are you already have some of the paper, ink, and dies.  The
