Everything Eleanor is just for you! While this stamp set has a typical vintage look, using it with solids and simple patterns can give it some youthful appeal.

Designer Series Paper makes my card and scrapbook projects so easy! Here are the top 3 reasons why.

I wanted to work with the new Happy You stamp set.

I love to use the large flowers from the Mixed Bunch stamp set. While they all have the same shape, their designs are totally different. But I rarely use the centers of the flowers. Until today, that is.

Today, I’m showing just a piece of a card. This was made using the new Bright Blossoms stamp set from the 2012-20123 Catalog. Isn’t it fun? To see the whole card, you need to subscribe to my newsletter. Sign up today!

My Bright Blossoms smile today! Isn’t this a happy card? In spite of the serious color combination, I think it has a happy, light-hearted look. That’s definitely a result of the fun flower shapes!

This is almost my last chance to work with Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz, a really great color combination.

I make most of my cards for other women. As a result, I design few masculine cards. This card, with a technique using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, resulted in a great masculine birthday card.

I want a simple birthday card for a woman. I’m craving Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz, probably because they’re retiring next week. I love my Blossom Petals Builder Punch, but I broke it. What to do?

This Delightful Fun Flower appears on a card with a fresh look! It starts with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper from the new Stampin’ Up! catalog.

This was my first card ever made with the Bright Blossoms stamp set from the new catalog. I think polka dots are fun, so they’re in the stamping and the embossing !

I don’t seem to use the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set that often, but it is perfect for those occasions that I do.

At least for the next few weeks, I Still {Heart} Hearts. That stamp set is on the list of sets that will retire at the end of this month. Poppy Parade, one of the 2010-2012 In Colors, will also retire at the same time.

Pocket Silhouettes Pizzazz. As I started working on this design, I planned the blog post title. That’s because I was using Pool Party, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. But as my design evolved, the Pear Pizzazz went away.
