These were all done from the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and coordinating Tropical Thinlits Dies. So this week I’ve been putting some of those on cards....Birthday cards… Continue reading Out of the Pile….Tropical Cards

Mix-It-Up Monday – It’s Party Pandas!
It's another Mix-It-Up Monday!.....time to mix the OLD with the NEW.....retired Stampin' Up! products (OLD) with current products (NEW). It's been a fun challenge to see what my brain can think up.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together
I enjoyed playing with the Flying Home Stamp Set earlier this week and now I'm back again with more birds. The bird's nest with the Momma and her baby birds just seem to make the best note cards....instead of tweeting on a phone or other electronic devices, I think these birds make a cute way… Continue reading Birds of a Feather Flock Together
Happy Birthday and Other Celebrations

But I hemmed and hawed and kept putting it off...until May when it was going… Continue reading Mix-It-Up Monday – Flying Home

Last week-end I spent a lot of time making cards using the Time for Tea Stamp Set. I’m a little bit of a neat freak when it comes to stamping....mainly because my desk is small and I don’t work well in a mess, so I’m always cleaning my stamps, putting things away right after I… Continue reading Lots of Leaves
Time for Tea!
I had a lot of fun this past week-end making cards. We had a lot of rain....so I made a lot of cards. I posted this card on my Instagram (Pat’s Card Corner) and promised more details, so here you go! This card was made using the TIme for Tea stamp set, the coordinating Spot… Continue reading Time for Tea!
Mix-it-Up Monday – It’s a One Sheet Wonder!
I’ve been playing all week-end with one of my new stamps sets - Time for Tea, and the coordinating Spot of Tea Framelit Dies, and the Tea Room Designer Series Paper. I actually ordered it in May during the pre-order for the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, but just haven’t gotten around to using it yet.… Continue reading Mix-it-Up Monday – It’s a One Sheet Wonder!

It’s called a Sunburst card and you can read all about it and watch a video on her website: Randi’s Crafty Creations . The paper is… Continue reading Bursting with Butterflies
