Yule *heart* this!

Do you need tags/gift enclosures for some special people? I've got just the ticket! Check it out:


I made up eight of these in under an hour, but if you needed just one, you could probably whip one up in about 5 minutes. The longest amount of time was running the stamped images through the Big Shot and sponging the edges.

The card base is Real Red Cardstock. It's available in 12 x 12 in the Holiday Catalogue, which is perfect for making eight of these little note cards.

I stamped on the inside too:


Since it looks like a little sugar cookie, you could definitely attach this note to a package of cookies.

Quick & Cute!

For You

Can you stand any more cute puppies and birds? I sure hope so!


Bella & Skittles just make my heart happy! You can't help but smile when you see these two! :)

For this card, I added all the images to one big block and stamped them all at the same time - EASY!

This time, I coloured Bella in Crumb Cake and added a Real Red collar and heart. I've done Bella in a few colours now, and I'm pretty sure my favourite colour is Soft Suede.

I added some sponging in Soft Sky as the "background" and that's it!

Quick and Cute!

Quick & Cute with a little OOMPH!

Today's Quick & Cute card is actually a whole Paper Pumpkin Kit! It's a little bit more involved than my regular Quick & Cute cards, but everything you need (except for adhesive and a clear block) is already in the box! And as an added bonus, it gets delivered right to your door.

This months Paper Pumpkin is just perfect when you need something Quick & Cute. You can make up the cards as you need them, or make them all at the same time and be ready to go. :)

Here's the bits in the kit:


Everything you need to create comes out of the box. If you're already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you received a block in your first kit and if you're just thinking about it, you'll get that block in your first kit. Other than that, all you need is adhesive (and if it's a specialty adhesive, like glue dots or Stampin' Dimensionals, that's in the box too!)

And the stamp set:


I love that corner image! It was stamped four times on the largest of the cards in the kit to form a beautiful frame! And once all your cards in the kit are complete, you'll get to use the stamps in other ways! Heads up! I'll be showing you a card on Monday that uses the stamp set with other Stampin' UP! supplies.

And, last but not least, the finished cards:


I love the way these turned out! There's three regular sized cards (4 ¼" x 5 ½"), three note card sized cards (3 ½" x 5") and three little pockets with a note inside that are sized to hold a gift card to someone's favourite store!

Did you know that as a Paper Pumpkin subscriber you can also order back kits from previous months? This privilege is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers and I love that little perk! If I get a kit that I REALLY like, I can order another one (or two or three) when I place my next Stampin' UP! order. How cool is that??

You can sign up for Paper Pumpkin HERE and if you do so before the end of September, you'll only pay for one kit and your next one will be FREE!

I'll be your up...

...when you're feeling down.


This image and sentiment are so perfectly cute! I just LOVE them together!

Recently I was chatting with a dear friend who had been having a particularly difficult day and I showed her this adorable image. She said I must have known she needed a bit of boost. I don't think I'm particularly *that* intuitive, but I was glad to have made her smile just a little. :)

This card was so quick and easy to make! I stamped the image in Archival Black Ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock and coloured it in using ink and my Aqua Painter. I used sponges to add a bit of "background" in Soft Sky. The balloon was stamped a second time and coloured in Daffodil Delight. Then it was cut out and attached over the stamped balloon to add a little dimension.

Easy, Peasy, DONE!
