Running With Scissors…

It’s about time Stella had a tote for some of her cards, don’t you think?  I know there’s been a lot of cute card totes made, but this just happens to be one I designed back in September ’06 for a Fresh Fruits set I made for a friend.  This tote will hold five or six cards, [...]

I haven’t had much time to play in the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges at Splitcoaststampers but I did manage this card for a couple of the challenges that were released on Thursday.  I did Beate’s sketch and genie1314′s challenge to use clear stamps.  I’d been intending to make this plain and simple guy birthday card [...]

It seems like it’s been a long stretch since I posted anything.  Or maybe it’s just been a long week.  At any rate,  I wanted to post something girly tonight to celebrate the end of the work week. Speaking of celebrations, there’s sure been a lot going on over at Splitcoast this week!  If you’re a [...]

I know this doesn’t look much like my usual Ruby Tuesday cards, but there really is some Stella Ruby here.  I needed this birthday card for a girlfriend who isn’t the frilly type.  We do make the card to suit the individual, don’t we? When I saw this Stampin’ Up! set, Nature Prints, in the [...]

The brand-spanking new Flourishes will open their online doors on July 27 and this set, Cake Decorating 101, will be one of the first of their exclusive stamp sets.  The link I’ve provided will take you to their unfinished store front but be assured they’re working furiously behind that pretty facade to get everything ready [...]

I’m playing tag catch up today.  The Rockin’ Girls on the following list were all kind enough to give me the honor of this badge for my sidebar.  The only thing is, I haven’t been able to get it in my sidebar yet.  I don’t know why it won’t work.  Anyway, thank you, girls!  You all…well…rock!  These [...]

My new Le Jardin paper arrived today, so what did I do?  I made a card with it’s earlier counterpart, Enchante.  This Pale Plum card base has been laying among the scraps for quite a while.  I had folded the card and punched the upper corners with the large corner rounder just to see if [...]

I’m going on an adventure and I’d like to invite you all to come along!  Some of you may have already heard this news so I’m sorry I’m a little slow about sharing–that darn day job.  Just in case you haven’t heard, here’s the scoop: A new online store called “Flourishes” will open their doors on July 27.  They’ll feature [...]

This week’s Ruby Tuesday card is not much more than a big flower and a slightly curly bow.  I did stamp some Wild Rose leaves on the circle tag along with the “thinking of you” but they barely show.  I used my new from SU! scallop circle punch and the 1 3/8″ circle punch for the [...]

I made another card with my new SU! supplies today and I have to tell you I’m most thrilled with the Happiness background!  That’s the Wasabi piece on this card.  Oh, my gosh, what fun this background will be!  I stamped the whole background with Wild Wasabi, cut out the parts I wanted to use [...]
