At last!!! At last I get to share my upcoming Christmas Card Buffet offerings. What on earth is a Card Buffet? It is definitely not a dining feast. Rather……it’s a card making feast. I create six sample cards, post them here on my blog, and you select which combination of the six cards you’d like to make. This gives you a little jump start on this year’s holiday cards.…
I wasn’t quite thrilled with my choice of the Garden Green card stock for yesterday’s mystery card. The other green used in the Designer Series Paper pack was Old Olive and that’s the one I chose to use for my second card. First card: Second card: Measurements are the same as those listed in yesterday’s post. I did manage to position my greeting down a bit…
On Monday I participated in a Mystery Stamping FB Live opportunity and made a pretty satisfactory Poinsettia Petal Mystery Stamping card. When I create a card using Designer Series Paper (DSP) I check the back of the pack to determine the coordinating card stock colors. For this card I used Garden Green – card stock and Classic Ink stamp pad Bumblebee – card stock and Classic Ink stamp…

That this has been a crazy unpredictable 2020 is an understatement. When I saw this card, created by Denise MacCabe from New South Wales, Australia, I knew I had to recreate it. First off, my major in college was geography and I’m a softy when it comes to anything map/globe related. Secondly, the word PEACE on the card front just said it all. Take a deep breath and focus…
My daughter is a high school French teacher who is currently teaching ‘virtually’. Not an easy task! One of her recent lesson blocks was to take her students on a road trip throughout European countries that have at least a substantial French speaking population. She also included some features such as the seas and major rivers. The students’ task, on a test, with maps that they were able to…
A few strips of Designer Series Paper, Black Glimmer Paper, the Have a Hoot stamp set, Peek-a-Hoot Dies and the awesome newly released Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine — all from Stampin’ Up! — go into the making of this fun Halloween card.

Details for this post are a work-in-progress. I wanted to secure the link for my Pinterest image a.s.a.p., hence the posting before all of the details are complete. My friend Paula, from Mi Wuk Village, CA, the community we moved away from last December, asked me to make a special card for her soon-to-be-102 year old aunt. Auntie loves RED and HIGH HEELS. Unfortunately I couldn’t put my…
