As we celebrate Veteran’s Day here in America, I want to say thank you to all the men and women who have protected or are currently protecting our country. You are very appreciated every single day of the year!
I love this new stamp in the Annual Catalog called Stylized Birthday. It’s a single stamp and is wood mounted.
I made this card when I was visiting my mom last month. I usually go for an extended stay and I love that I can set up a temporary craft area when I’m there. I brought supplies to make holiday cards but I needed to make a birthday card for a good friend and decided to work on birthday cards instead. We can always use lots of birthday cards, right?
I’ve been trying to challenge myself to create cards that would be considered clean and simple and I have three different versions of the same card. The one above has ribbon attached. The one below is the same card but I added a few rhinestones. I almost added more but I was having a hard time knowing if I was adding too much! My friend Karen would say that you can never have too much sparkle!
The card below is made with Mint Macaron and is without rhinestones and without ribbon. I used the Petal Burst embossing folder for all three cards but I think it’s most prominent in the photo below. I really felt that it was way too plain but not everyone likes bling or ribbon.
On each of the cards, I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Several days ago I shared a card I made using the Seasonal Decorative Masks from Stampin’ Up! You can see it HERE. For today’s card I used the same mask and colors to create my design and then sized it down for this layout.
Here are the measurements for the panels: Dapper Denim: 2″ x 5-1/4″ & Whisper White: 1-3/4″ x 5″
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

I am in love with a product in the Holiday Catalog that I bet you haven’t even noticed! They are the Seasonal Decorative Masks and they are tucked away on page 43. Each stencil measures 6″ x 6″ and there’s so much you can do with them!
One way to use them would be to simply place your Whisper White cardstock underneath the mask and create a fun pattern with a sponge dauber and an ink pad!
For my card today, I sponged Emerald Envy over the entire stencil. Then I went in with Dapper Denim and randomly sponged. I love how it turned out!
I used the one on the right for my card and the one on the left is just Emerald Envy.
The one on the right is Crushed Curry and the one on the left is a combination of Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.
Imagine all the color combinations you could create!!
Product List – Below are the products I used to create my card. Click on any item to place an order or for more information. (The last product is a bundle price for the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set and the Blossom Builder Punch. I didn’t use the punch but I wanted you to be aware that there’s a 10% savings if you purchase both at the same time).

I have a second post today! I wanted to show this card to you while the Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale is still on – it ends today!
This was a fun and very easy card to make. I cut the squares using my paper cutter but you could use one of the squares in the Layering Squares Framelits. I used the Fruit Stand DSP and each square is 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″. I mounted nine of these squares onto a 4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock which was then adhered to a base of Daffodil Delight. I also attached my sentiment to a narrow piece of the same paper. I used Watermelon Wonder to stamp my sentiment using the set Cottage Greetings.

Apples will always make me think of my days as an elementary school teacher. Wouldn’t this be cute paper to use for a thank you gift to a teacher??
This bag is quite easy to make. You score a few lines, cut, add adhesive and you’re done! Start with a 6″ x 12″ piece of paper. On the 12″ side, score @ 4″, 5-1/2″, 9-1/2″ & 11″. On the 6″ side, score @ 4-1/2″ (this will be the bottom of your box so if you have a design on the paper, make sure it’s going the correct direction). Fold on all the score lines and cut up to the 4-1/2″ score line. See the picture below.
Next, on the front of the box, apply adhesive as shown in the picture below.
Turn your paper over to the inside of the box and place adhesive as shown. That one flap will hold the bottom together so add adhesive to the entire panel.
Now it’s time to put the box together. Bring the small flap with adhesive (on the end), over to the other side to form the box. To make the bottom of the box, bring in the two small flaps first, then the piece WITH adhesive. Close it up with the last flap which will be attaching to the adhesive.
You can use a clip as I did or leave it open. Below are two more samples. I didn’t decorate the one the left because I thought it looked so pretty with the peaches. All of the products I used to make my bags can be found at the bottom of the post.
This paper is currently on sale, but only until tomorrow, October 31st! Mix and match any of the papers below for the Buy Three, Get One Free sale! Simply enter all four papers in your online order and the 4th one will automatically come up FREE.

Happy Saturday!
I’m popping in today to let you know about a fun challenge put on by Kathy over at TheDailyMarker.com! This is the 6th challenge that Kathy has done and in her own words, right from her blog, is why she does it:
THE GOAL of the challenge is: To color something daily even if it’s a few minutes but, certainly not required. (I know that I am happier when I am coloring even if it’s for 10 minutes.) Hopefully together along the way we will all stretch our creativity a little bit more. BASICALLY it’s anything goes challenge and whatever you feel inspired to do. Any medium of your choice including “coloring” with ink. Some days you will have more time than others but, it’s just about adding more time to color and carve out a little time for you.
I have participated in two different challenges and it’s really disappointing when it’s over! Kathy posts every day on her blog during the challenge to show what she’s working on. Last year at this time, she took a Starbucks cup, colored it and turned it into a card! Clever and gorgeous!
In the past, Kathy has asked that you post what you’ve colored (Stampin’ Write markers, Copics, watercolors, colored pencils – you choose the medium) onto Instagram but this year she’s also opening it up to Facebook. She even has a closed group that you can request to join so that you can post what you’re working on. Did I mention that she also gives out prizes?!
If it sounds intriguing to you, why don’t you join the challenge! It starts on November 1st, just a few days from today. Read more about it on Kathy’s blog HERE. If you decide to join, I’d LOVE it if you’d leave a comment and let me know!
Enjoy your day!
