Dana Davis- Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I started this journey in search of a craft that I could do with my then 4 year old daughter. It seemed perfect to go to a class make a few cards and just enjoy the time with my child. Before I realized we were both in LOVE with stamping. Let me share the JOY that comes with creating by hand.

So here is Part 5 of the great cards I made from Outdoor Barbecue. So this one had to wait to be posted because they are FATHER's Day Cards. By the time you read this I will have finally seen ALL of the dads in my life. Hubby check, Father in law check, my actual dad... CHECK. Whew, that was a LONG celebration. Notice there were 3 shout outs? OPPS! I forgot to take a photo of my Father-in-law's card and I am pretty sure he doesn't subscribe to my blog?! I know you are all thinking "How could that be possible?" Now for the even worse news, this stamp is RETIRED! Regardless since masculine cards can be difficult to design I am sharing these anyway. hanks for being patient while I get caught up. We will talk about my favorites from the new annual catalog in the next post.

Great Cards I Forgot to Post… Part 4

So here is Part 4 of the great cards I made from the Tropical Oasis Suite. As you know the Spring Mini Catalog has retired. Which I find incredibly sad because I loved so many of the suites. However, I am also seriously excited to show you all that the new 2020 Annual catalog has to offer. Before we can get on to those cards I have to show you one last set of cards that well were just hard for me to find time to publish. My last excuse is the baking! Did you find yourself cooking, baking and in general spending more time in the kitchen. Can you say "STUFFING MY FACE LIKE A PIG!" Ok maybe I am alone on that one. Back to the card story. These cards were a part of a porch pick up card class. I was testing out if I could prepare classes for an at home experience- ain't nothing gonna keep a crafter from crafting. Good new is, it worked! Recreate versions of these cards as the stamp and dies are still available.

So here is Part 3 of the great cards I made from the bundle Timeless Tulips. As a special BONUS some of these cards have a FREE tutorial you can download. My way of appologizing for taking sooo long to post all the cards I have made. Guess I was just too wrapped up in Corona Cleaning (my house/yard are looking great though!)

We have all been THERE, get a message from a friend asking a question, you type out a response but then forget to hit send! Well I just had a big string of those... can we blame this on COVID too? Probably not, you all know me too well. Now you know why there have been so few posts lately. Did you miss Part 1? Find it HERE. So here is part 2 of the great cards I made from the bundle Under My Umbrella. The first two cards being an original designs and the second two being CASED (which I am sure you know means copy and share everything). The stamp, punch and some of the supplies I used are still available see my links below. Sadly the awesome paper is now retired.

Great Cards I Forgot to Post… Part 1

We have all been THERE, get a message from a friend asking a question, you type out a response but then forget to hit send! Well I just had a big string of those... can we blame this on COVID too? Probably not, you all know me too well. Now you know why there have been so few posts lately. So here is part 1 of the great cards I made from the SALE- A- BRATION finale using items from that catalog. I figure if you have the stamps I still have the inspiration to share. Remember your stamps, ink and paper are happier when you use them and you don't want your supplies to be sad :(.
