One of my favorite stamp sets from the August-December Catalog is the Merriest Trees bundle. This set comes with several trees stamps and several sizes of tree dies that you can layer. For today's card, I used one of the middle size tree dies, which fits the greeting perfectly. I really enjoy making cards and sending them to family and friends at the Holidays. I typically get them done just before Christmas, but they always make it to … [Read more...] about Merriest Trees

Looks Just Like Hogwarts
Hedwig is off flying high above Hogwarts today. Okay, I know that isn't exactly the Hogwarts castle, but it looks pretty close to one of the main buildings. The castle is from an older stamp set called Chase Your Dreams. I do keep some of my retired stamp sets. There are just some that I can't part with and I still use them here and there. Speaking of retiring products... Stampin Up just released the list of products that will be … [Read more...] about Looks Just Like Hogwarts
Still Waiting For My Hogwarts Letter
True story, I bought the Winter Owl bundle just so I could make this card. I knew the owl stamps would be perfect to make some Harry Potter-type cards. This owl stamped on white paper white looks just like Harry's owl Hedwig. And then of course, I had to add the explosion of Hogwarts letters coming out of the Post Box. I used several different stamp sets to make this card. The Chase Your Dreams is an older, retired stamp set. The red wax … [Read more...] about Still Waiting For My Hogwarts Letter

All Is Quiet on the Snow Front
Winter is coming... I know other parts of the Country are already buried under lots of snow, but here in SoCal, that means the temperature drops below 65' and we'll get a few days of rain. It's expensive to live in Southern California, but that comes with the promise that the only snow we'll see is on the tv. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy a beautiful snowy winter scene and I couldn't resist the stamp set Snow Front. Snow Front is … [Read more...] about All Is Quiet on the Snow Front
