Tri-Fold Painted Poppies Birthday 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…

2020 Holiday Mini Catalog – Holiday Card Swap Samples
A few weeks ago I received ten hand stamped cards created by fellow stampers throughout the U.S. using products from the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. For short I just call it the 2020 Holiday Mini (Catalog). I love the variety and creativity of my fellow stampers. We all belong to an online group called SUDSOL, Simply Unique Demonstrators Sharing On Line. I’ve belonged to this great, creative, sharing…
Because adulting is hard at times, one of Stampin’ Up!’s million dollar demonstrators had a stamp set created for the 20-21 Annual Catalog honoring just that task. Connie Stewart also honored the importance of coffee, cookies and chocolate as well as a cocktail! “Her set” can be found on page 91 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I made today’s card for a group of friends who love to…
It’s never really too early to start making your holiday cards and I have done just that with today’s Joyful Holly card. My goal was clean and simple for this year. What do you think? I used the new and fun two-step stamping set, Joyful Holly, for today’s card. It’s actually a sneak peak of a set you’ll be able to purchase from the Stampin’ Up! Handmade for You…

Let’s Stamp….at the Avimor Community Center
Finally, after being in Idaho for seven months now (yes, really!), still with a garage full of boxes, I got myself organized enough to offer my favorite monthly class at the Avimor Community Center in the subdivision where we live. This favorite class is the one I taught (more like facilitated) at the Little Library in the Woods in Mi Wuk Village, CA for fourteen years before moving to…
In light of all that’s going on in our country (U.S.A.) I had an epiphany about a card I wanted to make using the recently retired Puzzle Pieces Thinlits. Then add the opportunity of having my 11 year old grandson, Landen, spend the night with me a few days ago. We played Quirkle, prepared crepe batter and then started a crafting project that he caught onto right away: I…
