Watermelon Wonder Color Combination

Love the color combination on this 3 x 3 card I made... Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, and Black and White polka dot Designer Series Paper.
Do you know you can make 3 different sizes of envelope liners with the Envelope Liners Framelits? (1) 3x3 card envelope liners, (2) Stampin' Up's Notecard envelope liners, and (3) standard A2 card envelope liners. I think the envelope liners really bring out the "homemade" look and so much compliment the special blessings (cards) you make for others. #CreateABlessing #StampinUp  

Did someone say BIG News??? Do you know someone who is having a birthday soon, getting married, having a baby, or may need a reminder how awesome they are to you? If yes, this stamp set is for you because you can create that special card just for them.

Utt Ohhh.... Did someone turn me loose in my craft room with the Perfect Peacock stamp set from Stampin' Up?  I think the pictures say it all. LOL. To color the peacock I used Stampin' Up markers and the Stampin' Up Blender Pens. The Stampin' Up colors I used were all of the 2014-2016 In Colors and the Tip Top Taupe 2015-2017 In Color. I absolutely LOVE the 1" 2015-2017 Dotted Lace Trim... I used the Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace Trim on this card. This card was SO much fun to make... I never colored a peacock before, but hopefully I did it justice. LOL.

Definitely Sketches #6
You couldn't tell what colors I loved working with in my craft room today... LOL. I had a lot of fun designing cards using this sketch. #CreateABlessing #StampinUp #Homemade

 

 

Definitely Sketches #5

I really like this card sketch... it was very easy to be creative.  These 3 cards I made using the Definitely Sketches #5 template.

Create-A-Blessing Outreach February 2015

On the first Saturday of February we made six of each of these cards (12 total) for the Phoenix Children's Hospital. I got this card idea off of Pinterest, but I changed some of the colors. When I delivered them to the front desk of the hospital the receptionist asked me if they were blank inside and I replied yes.  A big smile came over her face as she informed me that many Valentine cards were given to the children by children, but they were in need of some blank ones. #CreateABlessing #BlessingOnePersonAtATime

Definitely Sketches #4

Here are some cards I created using Definitely Sketches #4.  This card sketch was a little challenging for me, but it was also definitely fun to think outside the box to see what I could create.

Definitely Sketches #3

 

 I made these three cards using the Definitely Sketches #3 template... love how you can make different cards for different occasions using the same template. #FUN

One of my favorite rooms in my house where many blessings are created... my craft room aka my office. #Creativity #CreateABlessing

Christmas Cheer Cards

Here are some pictures of the cards I made for my daughter's high school cheerleading team to sell as a fundraiser to help them cover the cost of going to Nationals. I am stamping the back of the cards with the Stampin' Up copyright stamp in accordance with the Angel Policy. The girls have been collecting orders over the last two weeks and will be turning them into the coach this evening... in the meantime I have been mass producing about 50 of each card.
