Flower & Field: Stripes

Sweet Strawberry: Happy birthday
With most of the All-Occasions Stamp-a-Stack to Go kits out the door, I can relax and get back to “normal.” It sort of surprises me that after periods of intense preparation (thousands of pieces cut and kitted), one of the … Continue reading

Celebrate you with foliage!
Here’s another winter birthday card, this one inspired by Amy O’Neill. I made some of these cards earlier in the month, but used a vertical orientation and Merry Merlot for the “berries.” This seems a bit more like a cluster … Continue reading
Evergreen Tag
My challenge for birthdays at this time of year is to create cards that are wintery but don’t say, “Your birthday is so close to Christmas, I’ll just send you another Christmas card.” So I use evergreens and snow — … Continue reading

Love of Leaves: Birthday Wishes in green
Leaves here in north central Illinois are just beginning to change, except for those few trees that are eager to show off. So I’m still stamping leaves in green … for today, anyway. I don’t think I’ve shared a card … Continue reading

Celebrate Sunflowers: Anchored ribbon
This is the birthday card I made in the Working with ribbon video earlier this week. I hope you’ll try the anchoring technique on your next card! I try not to use the word “perfect” when stamping, because that’s way … Continue reading

Stitched Leaves and Dots
This card, inspired by Sue Mohr, is re-creatable in all sorts of combinations of colors and patterned paper. I happen to love dots, so I used a piece of 2020-2022 In Color 6”x6” Designer Series Paper in Bumblebee. I also … Continue reading
