Words and Wishes

Today's card is one I made a while back at a demo event in Illinois.  This birthday set has some awesome sentiments and and images for celebrating birthdays.


This striped designer series paper is the perfect celebratory paper for a birthday.  I fussy cut the presents and the cake, although there is a die to die cut the cake if you wish.  Otherwise this is a pretty simple card to mass produce if you would want to.


Tomorrow my friend, Joan, and I are going on a road trip to a huge quilt and fabric store in Missouri.  We were going to go to a stitchng shop on the way home but it is closed until after the 4th of July for family vacations.  I guess that just means we will need to go on another road trip later this summer.

Wild Bunch

I have not fallen on the face of the earth but I certainly have not been a member of the Wild Bunch.  This card was one of the cards everyone made at Make-It-Monday this week.  It uses the product of the Month for June.


I useed one of my favorite layouts when making this card.  It also uses the 2026-2028 In Color Designer Paper as well as 2026-2028 In Color Dots.  The snail is colored with the Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Pen.  I love the way it turned out.



Needless to say I have not been posting much or for that matter doing much at all.  My tooth extraction took way more out of me that I thought it would.  Resting is about all I have been doing.  I am hoping it gets better soon!!

    Phrases and Frames

    Todays' card is made with an awesome sentiment stamp set . . . Phrases and Frames.  The stamp set is all sentiments and then there is a coordinating die set that is all frames that fit around the sentiments.  It is a must have set!!



    I started with a card base of Secret Sea and added a layer of Hydrangea Hue.  That was then layered with a piece of Basic White Cardstock.  I cut three pieces of Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Paper that were the same size and added them to the top of the white.  The flowered designer paper in the bottom of the white is from the same pack of designer series paper.  A strip of Secret Sea with thesentiment attached and a Hydrangea Hue bow completed my card.  It is a great card that could be used for any occasion with a change of sentiment.


    I am hoping to get some stitching done this afternoon while watching the Cubs game.  I got a lot done last night during the game until the bottom of the ninth inning.  What an exciting end to the game.  I hope today goes as well!

    Fern and Flora

    In case you might not have noticed, my posts have been sporadic or none at all.  I seem to have lost my mojo for stamping or anything else for that matter.  I am hoping the sunshine and nice weather bring back some of it.  Today's card is one I got in a swap somewhere, but I could not tell you where!


    This card uses one of the new designer series papers , , , Everyday Essentials.  There is really not a theme to this paper pack, it is just a pack of random flowered and geometric designs.  It definitely comes in handy when you are looking for an extra design for a card.  This particular layout would be good for any occasion and by switching out the designer series paper you would never know it is the same layout.


    Since the Last Chance List was updated yesterday, I am making myself go through all of my designer series paper and the stamps on my shelves and and pulling everything that is no longer current.  It will go into my garage sale stash.  Speaking of my garage sale it is scheduled for July 10th and 11 . . . the weekend after the 4th.  Even though I recently had an impromptu garagse sale I still have a TON of stuff I would like to sell!!!  Mark your calendars!!
