Clean and simple are some of my favorite cards. And they can look so elegant. Start with a large amount of white space, add a bit of subtle coloring in the background, finish it off with a lovely stamped image and voila, an amazing card. This is my last sample for now of the Nests of Winter Suite. I hope you love the different projects and ideas. Check back on Wednesday for a new Suite of projects.

Making Your Own Background
One of the cards I shared Monday used the full-sized background die. It makes an amazing frame of pine boughs overlapping the interior of the frame. This is the die I'm referring to.

First, you'll want to center it over your card stock that you're going to … [Read more...] about Making Your Own Background
Nests of Winter
I've been trying to make a better effort to use all the supplies I purchase. I'm just like you.. I can easily get caught up buying stamps I like, and then don't get around to using all of them. I'm doing my best to make sure every stamp set gets some love before I file them away in my cabinet. The Nests of Winter Suite is one of my favorites from the September-December Catalog. I'm a sucker for a good bird stamp set. Add in some amazing … [Read more...] about Nests of Winter

Hello, Fall
It's getting closer and closer to Halloween and pumpkins are everywhere. It's finally cooling down a bit and no longer over 90'. It definitely feels like Fall. Today's card using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set to make my own patch. This is a bit similar to the card from Wednesday using the large tag and smaller circle over the top. Here's another look at that card. If you hadn't already heard, Stampin Up acquired the rights to … [Read more...] about Hello, Fall

Scenic Pumpkin Patch
Happy Monday! I'm sharing another card using the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set. But this time, I didn't use any of the pumpkin stamps.
