I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
This blog is a place to share my creations to make you smile and sometimes laugh.
I love card making and scrap booking plus a WHOLE lot more! I am definitely a child of the 70's and 80's too! I LOVE Pinterest too!!
Here is one of the cards from my last card class. I used the Botanical Expressions die along with the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. I love the sheet that is a mixture of colors for behind the die cut.
A tip for using the die because it both embossed and cut the cardstock, place some waxed paper on top of the cardstock before placing the die on top of it. It really helps to get the die off cleanly without ripping the cardstock.
Here is the inside of the card with a piece of coordinating Petal Pink on the inside. And I love the backside of the DSP is a simple pattern, so it easily and simply adds another dimension to the card.
Anyone excited for Halloween? I'm already seeing all the candy in the grocery aisles!!

I love the look of this Shadow Squares card and the Scenic Coast DSP is the perfect paper to showcase this technique. I did it two different ways, one with the black squares on the right side.
And this card has the black squares peeking from the left side.
And the bonus is that you can make 2 cards out of one 6 X 6 piece because you only need a 3" X 4" piece to cut out twelve 1" squares.
Here are the pieces you need to make this card.
And the template to cut out two 3" X 4" pieces to make two cards from one 6 X 6 piece of the Scenic Coast DSP.
I have wanted to try this pinwheel card and decided to use the Mixed Up Patterns DSP because they have papers that have coordinating colors. This one had Strawberry Slush in two different patterns.
And this one with Old Olive patterns that coordinate together.
Here is a lovely Split Dutch Door card I created using the 2026-2028 In Colors DSP. I really like the different patterns on both sides of the DSP. This is the card closed.
This is the card opened.
And lastly, here are the measured parts needed to create this card.
