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
New At SU-Winter Owl
Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing gift card and gift certificate holders. I used the Winter Owl stamp set for my card today. For my gift card holder, I made a z-fold card. With a z-fold, the front panel is folded in half so when standing the card looks like a backwards Z. I've seen … [Read more...] about New At SU-Winter Owl

Snow Day Sampler
We don't get too many "snow days" here in SoCal (thank goodness), but I still love the beautiful Winter scenes that you see in pictures. Those beautiful snow covered trees and mountains are so pretty. And, I've always wanted to live somewhere you could build a snow man in your front yard. Well, not enough to actually move to the snow. But it sure sounds like it would be fun. Plus the joy of "snow days"... no school, no work. We don't get that … [Read more...] about Snow Day Sampler

November Thank You Cards
Oh my gosh, 2020 is almost over. Are you celebrating? Or holding your breath for what's to come in 2021... the sequel! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the sequel is going to be better than 2020. I actually managed to get my November Customer Thank Yous done pretty early in the month, but didn't get them to the post office until closer to Christmas. Oh well, it happens. I kept November's card relatively simple so I could get them … [Read more...] about November Thank You Cards
Snowflake Splendor
I just love the thought of snowy Winter mornings. Sitting by a roaring fire, drinking a nice cup of coffee, enjoying the Winter Wonderland outside. Of course, I won't ever see that unless I go on vacation somewhere. SoCal isn't exactly a Winter Wonderland of snow. It can get chilly, but snowfall isn't going to happen where I live. Still, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the beauty of snow elsewhere. And I'm a sucker for beautiful snowflakes. … [Read more...] about Snowflake Splendor
