Happy Fourth of July! It's going to be a beautiful day here in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I plan to spend it with family and friends. But first, I have to share some mail I received from fellow stampers. Both Karen Page (see her original post here) and Ruth Grosscup used the versatile Work of Art stamp set to create these different, but very fun cards! If you don't have this set, I would purchase it. At first glance, it seems like lines, swirls, and swooshes but it's so much more. Click on the graphic at the bottom of this post to check out the images and the set.  Enjoy your day!

Hello Stampers! Stampin' Up! makes it so easy to create fun and festive items for the holidays. Here, Ive used the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits to make some treat holders to take as a hostess gift for a July 4th gathering. I've filled the insides with themed Tootsie Rolls. Too fun! I used the Stars Framelits to create the window in the box and then backed it with window sheets (so the treats don't fall out!). Click on the list below to see what supplies I've used or to purchase any of the products. Have a fun, festive, and safe Fourth of July! Enjoy! Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

The sentiment can be found in the And Many More set. I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend with some sweet treats ... and, of course,...

Hello Stampers! I've known about Father's day for the last 365 days, yet I waited until yesterday (Saturday) to put a card together for my husband. Because my craft room is at the height of disorganization, I had to create at the dining room table. He kept coming in the house for something or another, so it made creating on the sly very difficult. I had about 10 minutes to put this card together. He took up biking about four years ago, so I thought Stampin' Up!'s Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper was perfect for his card. The bike from the Sheltering Tree stamp set also came in handy. And, Teeny Tiny wishes to the rescue. That set has every...
