If any of you have been following my blog I am sure you have noticed that I haven't posted anything in a looooong while! Long story short, I started working full time in September of last year and had to put my crafting aside. I was really bummed because I didn't think I would be able to do what I loved and was a huge stress reliever for me. I have met some fabulous ladies at work who also share the love of crafting and have motivated me to start up again. I won't be able to post everyday, but... Continue reading

I made this Birthday card for a friend of mine and I really love the color combination. I think my favorite in color is the Poppy Parade which is the base of this card. I wanted to use the Poppy Parade color but was stuck on which colors to put with it so I whipped out the color coach and these are the colors it told me to use: Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze. I also used the free Level One Hostess stamp set Birthday Bakery. This is such an cute set and perfect for... Continue reading

This is a box I made for a birthday gift. I got the template from Ilina. It was so easy to make! This box holds four cards and envelopes. I will show you the cards tomorrow. I made the flower on the front by punching 3 scallops using the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Extra Large Punch. Crumple them up and lay flat. Using paper snips, snip the scallop edges all the way around. Layer on top of one another and attach using a brad. Super easy! Here is a list of supplies: Stamps: Lovely Letters Alphabet (115030) Ink: Early Espresso (119670)... Continue reading

Email me at stampinwithjen@bellsouth.net for more details. The matchbox holds for Hershey's Nuggets that I wrapped in some of the halloween dsp. Isn't that darling?

This is another great card we made at my card class. I CASED this layout from Stampin' Connection. I tweaked it a little to make it my own. :) I can't remember the person who created it, but when I saw it I thought it was so elegant and pretty. It's really quick and easy to make. I used the new Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder out of the 2010/20100 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. I stamped the floral image from the Elements of Style Stamp set and then punched two butterflies out. I also punched two butterflies... Continue reading

I absolutely looooove this card! I love the Greenhouse Gala dsp (designer series paper)! This is another card that we made at my card class.
