Before I get into today's card, this is your final reminder about Sale-a-bration. Today is the last day to get your FREE products with a purchase. And now for today's card... This was December's customer thank you card and was mailed out in January. I'm behind in sharing it here because I was so busy sharing all the things I made with the Sale-a-bration products. I love the Cactus Cuties bundle. This is a stamp set and punch bundle. I love … [Read more...] about Just A Note

Happy Thanksgiving
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. This is the specific day set aside for us to celebrate everything we are thankful for. I am thankful for so many things... my family and friends, my health, my job, and my Stampin Up business. Little did I know when my neighbor twisted my arm to attend a Stampin Up party 16 years ago that I would do what I'm doing. I love sharing card making and crafts with so many people. I love that I get … [Read more...] about Happy Thanksgiving
Squirrel!
Let me just start off this post by stating that I have put the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set back on the shelf for now so this is my last card with this adorable set...for now. I think this squirrel is my favorite out of the two. This is a quick and easy card to make. No need to worry about how to fill the background space - just use our gorgeous pattern paper. I'm really doing my bast to use my pattern paper stash rather than hoard it. … [Read more...] about Squirrel!
Which Do You Like Better?
Sometimes when I'm working on projects, I'll add and take away different pieces until I'm happy with it. Rarely do I end up with two totally different cards like today. Here is my first version. It's perfectly nice. But, I thought it needed more sparkle. So here's the second version. Whoa! Check out that gorgeous gold foiling on the pattern paper. And the leaf is die cut from the new Gold Shimmer Vellum paper. This second version … [Read more...] about Which Do You Like Better?
July Thank You’s
Hello and welcome to another episode of Diane is running behind again. Seriously! I had my July Customer Thank you cards ready to go a little while ago, but just managed to drop them off at the Post Office. Rest assured, I've already started on the August Thank You's and here's hoping that they make it to the Post Office before November. Sheesh! This thank you card might look a bit familiar. That's because I took the idea from the mini … [Read more...] about July Thank You’s
June Customer Thank You’s
I started my June Thank you card weeks ago, but finally just got around to finishing them up and mailing them. Ugh. I usually plan to get them out earlier in the month, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I used the Bloom Where You Planted Suite for this month's card. I love the combination of the pattern paper and the stamps and dies. Plus the paper is ON SALE this month. Hooray! Everything works together so well. I love how this looks … [Read more...] about June Customer Thank You’s
May Thank You
Today I'm sharing another project using the Turtle Friends bundle. This is the card that was sent out to customers that placed an order or subscribed to Paper Pumpkin during the month of May. I'm sure there's no such thing as pink turtles, and definitely not pink turtles with cheetah-print shells. But, I still think she's pretty cute. The shell is from our pattern paper and glued right on top of the stamped shell. Paper piecing is a fun idea … [Read more...] about May Thank You
