I am back....

 I have been missing for a while but wanted to let you all know that I am back!

While I was gone I was still creating birthday cards for my family just wasn't able to post them here. I will start sharing with this special one... 

This beautiful birthday card was made for my daughter I am happy to say that she fell in love with it.

I used the following Stampin Up! products some of the products have been retired but if you are wanting to recreate this card I am sure you can substitute quite easily :)

brick & mortar embossing folder for the background

spritzed the background with frost white shimmer paint

I die-cut the butterflies from the butterfly bijou dsp using the brilliant wings die

There you go...  hope you enjoyed this fun card.

Hey Chick!

 Hey Chic is an older Sale-A-Bration stamp set that I love.This year Stampin Up! surprised us with a set of coordinating dies! I just had to have them.

Here is just one of the results of using this set.

I used Real Red Cardstock and a strip of retired Polka Dot Parade DSP that measures 3 x 4 inches. I then used one of the dies from the Stitched  Nested Label dies to diecut from the center and popped it up using Stampin' dimensionals. The chicken wire was cut from the new Chick die set. Love it!

Have a great week!

I'm back......... and with a new card to share

 It has been way too long since my last post, so much has happened in my life. I won't go into it so I will just jump in and share this pretty card.

I wanted to make a card for a certain person who has not been well lately, I am sure she will be surprised to get this in the mail :)

Whisper White is the cardbase 8 1/2 x 5 1/2

I embossed the front of the card base using the LACE DYNAMIC embossing folder

2nd layer Melon Mambo 3 1/2 x 5

Next layer dsp PETAL PROMENADE 3 1/4 x 4 3/4

The swirly circle diecut comes from the PAINTED LABELS die set.

The sentiment stamp comes from the stamp set DANDELION WISHES stamped with Melon Mambo ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock then cut using a die from the layering circles die set.

Hope you enjoyed this card!

Have a great weekend, stay safe.

I'm here and ready to start posting!

I can't believe that it took me this long to get back to my blog. I was a busy gal!

While I was away from here I was still creating but just not being able to discipline myself enough to write up the posts.


My sister knows who I am. She bought this magnet and she was kind enough to say it was for both my dog "Chip" and me, I am sure it was ya, she really does know me lol

Take care and talk to you all soon.
Have a GREAT weekend!

Cute purse that holds cards!

Hello everyone!

I had seen this cute purse or cute bag that holds cards and envelopes and fell in love with it. I couldn't find the instructions for it so I had to figure it out. Turned out pretty cute :)
The paper I have used is the  SHARE WHAT YOU  LOVE by Stampin' Up!

So, here is my version...

This first photo is all the purses together

This second photo is showing two different sizes. The smaller one holds 4 cards with envelopes perfectly and it is made using the 8 1/2 x 11 paper. The larger one can hold up to eight cards with envelopes. But it would also depend on how thick you have made your cards. This larger purse is cut from a 12 x 12 paper

Here are the sets of cards that I have made. I only made four for each purse and there is still room for more! I just love this paper :)

Hope you enjoyed seeing these cute purses and beautiful paper.

Take Care

Make a Wish!

I have a sister who will be having a birthday this coming weekend and I thought I would make her a card using her favourite colours.  I went all out and used more than one stamp set!
I am sure that she will be pleased with it. When we were little we loved to blow on these dandelion "fluff" not sure what else to call it, but it was fun!

I used Wink of Stella on the dandelion fluff. It is hard to get that to show in a photo but it sure looks good in real time :)

 here is a list of the products that I had used to create this card

Graduation time

Hello everyone, I am back with a couple of graduation cards. I have two great nieces who are graduating this year after completing grade twelve. So excited for them as they both have plans to continue their education!

card 2

I had used  Stampin' Up June 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit! what a fun kit to play & create with. I just love how these two cute cards turned out! The hat and scroll were not included in the kit, I made them by hand and love how they turned out.


Have a great weekend everyone! and to all my Canadian friends, have a GREAT Canada Day weekend!
Take Care and stay safe

My mother's Birthday card

My precious mother has just turned 85! and I wanted to make her a special card. Her birthday was on the 29th so she has it now.
She fell in love with the card! she tells me that I could open my own little shop and sell my cards HA!
She is so sweet love her to bits!

I did make this card a bit bigger than I usually make them. This double Z card measured  5 1/2 x 5 1/2. A nice size for this style of card. I hand-cut the flowers and coloured them in using a blender pen and Stampin up ink. Such a fun card to make.

Just keeping my post short and sweet.
Just like my mom :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
