Hi and welcome to Friday! I’m ending this week with some pretty birds and a card that says “I Care”. Now that is bright! The colour is Tahitian Tide and when you’re sending a cheery, caring card, it needs to be bright don’t you think? The Pretty Birds Bundle(158847) doesn’t have any sentiments but I […]

PUTTING ON THE SPOTLIGHT
Hi on this sunny autumn Thursday! Today I’m showing the spotlight technique for this birthday card. The Perfectly Penciled 12″x12″ designer paper(159244) is perfect for the spotlight technique and very easy to colour with Stampin’ Blends. I really wanted this beauty to stand out, so used the Adhesive Foam Mounting Strips(141825) to attach the frame. The […]
SENDING BIRTHDAY WISHES
Today, I’m adding a card to send birthday wishes. The colours used can be called traditional Halloween colours but I think they look good on this non-Halloween card too! Who said you can’t use Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry on a flower-y card? I haven’t used the Sending Smiles Bundle(158707) in quite a while and […]
READY FOR HALLOWEEN
Halloween is coming and it’s a good idea to be prepared! So…when you don’t have any stamp sets specific to Halloween, you improvise! I used the Hello Harvest Bundle(159644) to create that “scary” jack-o-lanturn and coloured it with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends combo. Then, how do you add a face? Well, you use the […]
HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2022
It’s Thanksgiving day in Canada and I’m sending wishes for a happy and thankful day with family and friends! This card was created to send my thoughts and wishes especially for this time of year because there’s nothing like spending time with family around the dinner table. There’s usually lots of great and lively conversations! […]
JOY & PEACE TO YOU
There’s nothing like ending the week with a Christmas card and today’s card is sending Joy & Peace for the holidays. I used the Boughs of Holly Suite Collection(159612) and was determined to use all of the pieces! Success, as it all went together perfectly! The new layout challenge from Freshly Made Sketches makes for […]
THE CHANGING SEASONS
This year, it seems like we have had 3 distinct seasons with one more waiting in the wings. I say this because up here in northeast BC we sometimes “miss” a season and go straight through to either summer or winter, lol. I’m sure not complaining though, it’s been fabulous! Here we have a card […]
SWEET KISSES FOR CHRISTMAS
Hi! I’m switching over to Christmas today and highlighting a very sweet bundle. There we go, the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle(161052) makes for a very sweet Christmas card don’t you think? I’m a big fan of candy canes so this bundle fit into my collection very well, lol! Of course, you can’t make a sweet […]
