Nothing's Better Than #2


I designed this card for a Flowerbug card swap!  It uses the Nothing's Better than stamp set and dies and our gorgeous Rainbow Glimmer paper!

Cut the Rainbow glimmer paper into circles using the smallest circle stitched die.  Use the largest circle to cut a piece of Just Jade Cardstock;  Use Basic White and the 2nd largest circle die to cut the piece you'll stamp on. Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso and use the Early Espresso Cardstock to cut the word chocolate out with the dies.  Stamp the chocolates and cookies using Stazon and watercolor with Early Espresso ink refill and the water painters.  Sponge the edges of the basic white circle with Misty Moonlight.  Color the rhinestones with a blend marker.  Add 2 short pieces of ribbon under the Basic White Circle.

*When watercoloring, you always stamp in Stazon.  When using blends you stamp in Memento Ink.

Nothing’s Better Than

Nothing's Better Than Bundle


 I absolutely love this stamp and die set from the Stampin’ Up annual catalog!  On this card, I stamped the chocolates and chocolate chip cookies and then colored them with an aqua painter and ink from the ink pads!  The inside of this card says “You make everything better!”

 Berry Yummy Treat Box

I recently made this treat box after being inspired by the one on page 44 of the Stampin' Up January to June mini catalog!  It uses the Sweet strawberry stamp set and punch.

My background is a 3 1/4" square piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock and I used Granny Apple Green ink to stamp the floral/leaf image.

The leaves were stamped on Basic White Cardstock, the outline is Garden Green and the inside is Granny Apple Green ink.  The strawberry topper outline was stamped in Garden Green and then the fill stamp was stamped in Garden Green and stamped off once before using.

The strawberries were punched from the Berry Blessings Paper.  This paper and another Berry Stamp set is free with a $100 order through the end of Sale-a-Bration, which will end Feb. 28, 2021.

The adorable little strawberry blossoms were punched in Whisper White and I used one of my yellow Blend markers to color Elegant Faceted Gems for the centers.

Hershey's Nuggets will be wrapped in 1" wide strips of Berry Blessing paper for the treats inside!  Yum!

 You Are My Sunshine Card



I designed a fun card in my studio tonight.  This one uses scraps of paper to help create the main image.

Cut the Granny Apple Green cardstock and 4 1/4" x 11 and score at 5 1/2" and fold.

The Flirty Flamingo cardstock is 4" x 5 1/4".  Stamp image from Sweet Strawberry stamp set in Poppy parade and stamp on 2 corners of this piece.

The scraps are from the Berry Delightful DSP and measure 1 x 4".

The piece I stamped on is cut with the biggest shaped die from the So Sentimental Bundle and I stamped with a image from the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set!

Add 3 Red Rhinestones

The inside is 3 x 5" Basic white cardstock stamped with another image from Ridiculously Awesome and uses a strip on paper left over from the DSP.

Sweet Strawberry Treats



To make this sweet strawberry, simply cut the strawberry out of red strawberry seed paper, use Tombow to turn it into a box;  Cut 2 Garden Green "leaves" out with the Perennial Flower Punch.  Glue the leaves together and then cut a slit almost all the through the leaves and put around the box handle and glue it on!  It is so easy and so cute!

Made with the following supplies!


This is a Sale-a-Bration item that is free when you spend $100 in product!  I am so in love with this paper I am on my 2nd pack!




Each Mini Curvy Keepsake Box holds 5 Hershey's Kisses!
