So Very Grateful: Peek-A-Boo Trifold Cards!

April 22, 2014 By Meg Loven 2 Comments

Have you seen these fun Peek A Boo cards yet?  They're so simple! We made this card at Stamp Club with Meg in March - and it was a big hit!  The So Very Grateful stamp set (133053) is a terrific one. Good news on the stamp set, too -- So Very Grateful is featured in my May Stamps in the Mail Club Kit!! And if you pre-order your May

Sweet & Simple: Stamp A Stack of Wishes

August 12, 2013 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

I wanted to share pictures from our most recent Card Ministry event at church.  Every few months we gather to stamp cards that will be sent out for birthdays and anniversaries.  We use 75-100 cards each month, so it's a tall order.  But many hands make light work! Cards for guys: Simply Sketched hostess stamp set (see Simply Sketched

New Ruffle Stretch Trim: So Sweet for Summer

June 13, 2013 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

Sometimes there's a fun embellishment that never makes it way off my stamping table -- it just sits here by my side because I use it just about every time I stamp.  Right now, it's the new In Color Ruffle Stretch Trim (see it online with the In Colors). Okay, truth be told, my stamping table is a mess, so there are quite a few things

Are the Cherries Ripe Yet? Yum!

April 6, 2012 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

My son has been asking for weeks if we could get corn on the cob. And I'd been putting him off, saying that it's just too early -- that's a summer treat. But it's official, summer must be here, since we had our first corn on the cob of the season this week. It was yummy, too! I'll admit, I wasn't too hopeful. But it gives me one more

Bright Blossoms Blooming for Spring

April 4, 2012 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

I don't know about where you live, but here, SUMMER was here yesterday! I couldn't believe the heat wave in the afternoon, and I think we've already mowed the grass 3 times this year.  Sunny days make me think of sunny stamping, so here is the First Card of Summer to share with you, using the Bright Blossoms stamp set (see it online) that

Apothecary Art: Quick Cards for any occasion

March 21, 2012 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

Did you catch my Video Tutorial on the Apothecary Art stamp set and the Labels Collection Framelits last week?  (check it out now)  Well here's a Quick Card that still uses the Apothecary Art stamp set (see it online), and the Framelits (see them online), but on an even simpler card background. Isn't the background color pretty on this

Spring is for the Birds. Elegant Birds.

March 6, 2012 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

Here's another project using the same set of supplies as yesterday's project, but with a whole different feel to the finished card. The finished card is square, and I've added the Elegant Bird die cut (see it online). I like the bird with a bit of texture or a change in the paper for the wing, just to make it stand out.  Like the

Mixing Up with Mixed Bunch & Blossom Punch

March 5, 2012 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

You might have noticed a few favorites if you scan the projects from my blog in the past couple of weeks.  One of my favs is definitely the Mixed Bunch stamp set (from the Occasions Mini Catalog) and its coordinating Blossom Punch (see it online). Another fav?  The Simply Scored Scoring Tool (see it online)  -- you can see the lines I

If Stamping is Fun, then Stamping with Chocolate is BETTER

February 20, 2012 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

When I go to someone's home for a Stampin' Up! party, I often plan two projects to share -- a quick & easy card, and a project using chocolate.  Because stamping is fun, but stamping with CHOCOLATE is better!  I have a number of "candy projects" in past blog posts, and here is another, using the Two Tags Die for the Big Shot. (see it

Spring Cleaning: Have you washed your windows yet?

April 28, 2011 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

And if you haven't washed your windows, turn right back around and pull out your stamping supplies.  Those windows will wait!  Instead, try the Stampin' Up! Beveled Windowpanes (see them online)! These little babies come smudge-free and you don't have to wash them at all.  Here's a project showcasing the windowpanes along with the You're

Happy Easter! Colors for Spring

April 25, 2011 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

Earlier this month I shared an Easter bonnet that we made at Stamp Club in April.  I loved the flowers on the hat so much that I decided to use the same supplies to create a birthday card for my niece. Since she's just turning 13, I had to include some 'bling' in the form of Rhinestones.  The spring colors here are Baja Breeze, Melon
