Today I want to share some of my favorite punches and the card samples created from them. Let’s get started right away with the Heart Punch Pack …
There are two hearts in this pack … your initial heart and then a scallop punch to mat or create some extra drama! Let’s take a look at another one, and another trio of hearts. I must like this layout … lol.

One more “Heart” …. Ok two more!! I embossed the background and then punched out the heart. The negative was turned into a Shaker Card and the other was matted with the scallop heart.
Now for one of my “go to” punches for creating quick cards is the Daisy punch. So very versatile for any occasion. Let’s take a look …
You can see another card & full post by clicking Here!
Here are a selection of cards that highlight the Daisy Punch while I used different backgrounds to create some fun cards.
You can always cluster your daisy with other flowers to create a bouquet ….
These are just 2 of the many punches on sale right now, and fun shapes that Stampin’ Up! offers. I love the simplicity of a punch which makes cardmaking so quick and easy … just add paper!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Today I have a beautiful card to share with you, and one of my favorites of the Attendee Swap. This card just goes to show that you can go from simple to stunning! This card was created for our Retreat Swap by Karie Kahrs.
Karie used the fun and festive Lights Aglow designer paper to create her banner card. I love this style of card …. it is so versatile.
Who knew that scraps could look so amazing! Banner cards can be used for any occasion and Karie’s choice of the Lights Aglow teamed up with the Glimmer Specialty paper really puts you in the holiday mood. The gold foil dots design evoke a feeling of twinkling lights, and the Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen colors takes you back to days of old with its rich warm color.
With the use of the Layering Circle dies … Karie highlights the greeting “Tis the Season” that comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set. She embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder to carry that festive look throughout her card.
Thank you for taking time out of your Sunday to visit me and my blog … I appreciate it. And I hope today’s card inspired you to use up your scraps in a fun and creative way … like Karie did!!
Have a great day ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends,
Hoping to be back on track … slowly getting better after Covid kicked my butt this week. On that note, let me share something a lot more FUN! I have another SWAP Card from my Fall Holiday Retreat.
This swap was from one of our first time retreat attendee’s Carol Cichocki …
This cute holiday card features the Penguin Builder Punch and a Fun Fold! Carol used the Split Panel card / technique. It’s pretty simple. You cut your card stock base 7-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ and score it at 5-1/2″ Then you cut your bottom panel. You can cut it any size you wish, just make sure you leave enough for an opening in the middle.
The front panel can also be cut to your desired size … you can place it in the middle like Carol did, or off to either side to add a dramatic flare. This card is simple to do and fun to create.
Hope you don’t mind that I’ll be keeping these posts short and sweet for now, until I get back up on my feet again.
You have a great day and stay healthy!!

Hello my friends ~
Today I’m here to share a few pictures from our Holiday Stamping Retreat. This retreat in not like the others, we have a 1930 English Tudor Home so our group is small an intimate. Our guest may come as strangers but they leave as friends … even swapping phone numbers (besides their cards) lol
We stamp on Friday Night after our sit down dinner, and when they return for dessert and the hot cocoa bar …. they find a Pillow Gift on their beds ….
This year they received the In Color Grid Paper so they can have a nice pad to stamp on, and use the Red & White Glitter paper. I gave them several ideas on how to use that!
Here are a couple of our first time Retreat Attendee’s ….
By the looks of these two, you would think they have known each other for a long time! They just met this weekend, in fact … I just met them this weekend. I think they both plan on attending the Spring Retreat!
Here’s a pic of part of the gang (couldn’t get them all in this one shot) relaxing after our stamping session in the living room …
We enjoy some treats, hot cocoa and each others company! Before they retired to their rooms, we held a Swap Contest. Here are just a few of the cards.
Here are a few more of the swap cards ….
I will have plenty more to show you, including the top 3!!
Thank you for taking time out of your Sunday to check out my blog.
Hope you have a beautiful day ~

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Sorry I missed you yesterday however I was busy packing up all my Holiday Retreat Card Kits, products and more for our stamp room … don’t want to forget anything!! On that note, I have a very special card for you today, created by one of the members in the design team I belong to. This card highlights the Window Wishes bundle.
This card was inspired by the sample on page 71 of the July-December Mini catalog…
Measurements:
Begin by adhering the Festive Foils Designer Paper to the front of the card base. Using the Brick & Mortar embossing folder, emboss your white cardstock and then die cut it using the Window dies. Cut the Storybook Gnomes piece with the window frame in order to get the insert.
Stamp the tree in Early Espresso on the designer paper. Stamp the house in Real Red and the roof in Soft Suede ink on Basic White scraps. Cut these out with the corresponding dies and glue to the designer paper. Using the piece of white that you saved cut a strip along the bottom for the snow and add.
Stamp in Real Red the saying over the top of the window frame. Turn the frame over and the designer paper. Use scotch tape to tape the pieces together. Turn back over to the front and glue in the window insert piece.
Use 2 of the Wonderful Snowflakes to add interest to the card front. Cut the snowflakes in half. Add in places so that they will be around the window. You’ll have one of the halves left over. I taped them in place under where the window will be. Use the window to help determine placement before you adhere the window.
Add the window to the center of the card with dimensionals. Make a bow of Linen Thread. Add to the card with a glue dot.
Stamp Merry Wishes in Real Red on a Basic White scrap. Trim on each side of the saying. Make a notch at one end using Paper Snips. Cut up in the middle of the end. Now cut from each corner to the top of the middle cut. Add dimensionals to the back of the label. I used some of the side of the pack with the smaller dimensionals. Do not put any right at the very end. Put that part over the bow so all will lay straight.
Send to someone special for Christmas! Thanks for stopping by today ~
Hello Stampin’ Friends ~
Ahhh … it’s officially the weekend and I have a beautiful card to share with you today because You Are Wonderful. Simple to make but wonderful to look at! I pulled out an old technique to help me create a little more drama on my card. Have I got your attention yet? lol Let’s take a look ….
Do you recognize the old technique? Of course you do … simply stamping color on color to create your own background / design. I’m using Melon Mambo as my card base and the card front which is stamped and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next, I added a swatch of the beautiful Hues of Happiness Designer Series paper (2″ x 4″) and matted that with Basic Black to really make it pop on my card. The greeting comes from our Happiness Abounds Bundle and was stamped in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink.
A few Matte Black Adhesive Dots are used to embellish the card and tie it all together nicely. I absolutely love this suite, it is so versatile and the dies coordinate with the designer paper so some of the flowers can be die cut … put your scissors away! lol If this isn’t in your craft room yet … let someone know “what” YOU want for Christmas!
I want to Thank You today for stopping by today.
Enjoy your weekend.
Here is today’s supply list … you can click on any image for more information on that product or to start shopping. Thank you.
