Reading some of my stamper buddy's blogs this week (both Wendy's Made by Wendy Bellino and Heidi's My Little Stamping Blog!), I found out about a Coffee Lovers Card Challenge at Coffee Loving Cardmakers, so I had to go make one to enter. I didn't think I had coffee specific stamps, and sure enough, nada. …

Stamping for Safelight
Valentines day is this week, and of course that means stamping time! I like having a place for my creativity to go, so again this year, I decided to make little bags for Safelight like I did last year - Valentine Goodies for Safelight I cannot imagine what this day must be like for …
Playing With My New Stamping Toy
Making cards is a really fun thing to do, sometimes nice to take a break from playing with fabric, and play with paper instead. I have some Craftsy videos on stamping, and in December I watched a bunch of youtube videos on stamping and playing with different techniques. One of them was on using a …
Making Christmas Cards
Making Christmas cards is one of the most fun stamping times of the year. There are so many little things in my stash I've yet to use from cute stickers and cut outs, to fun papers and stamps. I scored a few more items at the thrift shops recently too. One of the things I …
Thanksgiving Projects and Ideas
Every year at this time, I go through the some past posts that have relevance to the season. There are so many fun things to do for Thanksgiving and the Autumn season, that I have not run out of ideas yet. But, new readers may not have seen these ideas from past years, so here …
Stamping Fun for the Humane Society
I still have a huge stash of stamping supplies, and was looking for another way to use some of it. When I received the gift of two boxes of papers, I found a number of dog and cat related papers, plus little chipboard and cardboard cutouts, and some other charms and such with animal themes. …
A Safelight Project for the Fourth of July
It seemed fitting that on the day we celebrate our Independence as a nation, the residents of the Safelight shelter might celebrate their independence in their new lives. Safelight is the name of the domestic violence shelter in our little town. This organization incorporates many services for domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims providing …
Stamping Fun in April
Saturday was a cold and drizzly day, perfect for doing some indoor crafting. I was in the mood to do some stamping, and decided to make some cards for the Safelight Project. The Project is picking up now that spring breaks are over, and donations are continuing to arrive in the mail. Thank you to …
Stamping Thank You Cards
While watching a stamping video last weekend, a phrase caught my attention about mixing prints. I was enjoying Craftsy's free weekend and decided to try Cards With Dimension: Lovely Layers, Textures & Embellishments with Danielle Flanders. The class was fantastic and very inspiring, so I went to the stamping workbench to see what I could …
January Stamping Fun with Cards
About a week ago, we got an invitation to a surprise birthday party my dear friend, Gail. The invitation was hand delivered by her husband and clearly specified 'no gifts'. Of course, those kinds of instructions I rarely follow, at the very least I wanted to make a card. For stampers, January is a great …
More cards in November
Stamping more cards in November, I decided that the prize winners from Autumn Jubilee needed a card to go with their prizes. Since I was mailing several at once, it was easy to go down to the stamping workbench and have some fun with paper and ink. Pretty paper bits were utilized in these cards. …
Autumn Jubilee Stamping Fun
One of the things my family looks forward to every year is a Thanksgiving card. I started sending them years ago, when it was very difficult to find them in card boxes in the stores. But I liked sending a card when it wouldn't get lost in the deluge of holiday cards. One year I …
Stamping Halloween Cards
Getting farther into October, it is time to begin stamping cards for Halloween. Autumn Jubilee wouldn't be complete without some cards! I have so much Halloween fun stuff, thanks to Katie and her generous gift. I wanted to use some of the stickers and elements with the stamps, but I had more ideas than time, …
Stamping Cards in September
My card making for September focused on supportive messages for a couple of friends having some health challenges. This seemed like a good time to participate in a card challenge at Just For Fun Stamps. The challenge for September was to take their design sketch and make a card using it as inspiration. Yellow cardstock …
Stamping Fun in August
Stamping was lots of fun in August, with the Safelight Project and making some thank you cards for friends. When I have a number of cards to do at once, I sometimes will use elements from other cards I have received. I'll cut up those cards for bookmarks and gift tags, and sometimes I keep …
