Only a few days left for stamp sets and accessories from the retiring Stampin' Up! catalog - here's another set that I've loved: Bordering on Romance (see it online - 125482).

Merry & Type: Texture all the way

November 20, 2012 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

For my Christmas Card Stamp A Stack last evening, I wanted to pull out the Merry & Type stamp set (see it online).  I love the vintage feel of the ornaments -- and what says 1930's more than houndstooth? The Houndstooth Textured Impressions Folder came in handy as a design element (see it online). Did you see the layered border

You’re Amazing: The happy birthday elephant set

Have you seen this little elephant peeking out at you yet from the You're Amazing stamp set (see it online)? He's my favorite image from the 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! catalog.  Last year there was a fun elephant in a hostess-exclusive set, so I'm excited that EVERYONE can get this guy! And really, what's more fun than an elephant in a

Monochromatic Cards: Fresh Vintage in Black & White

February 1, 2012 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

When was the last time you did a card without color?  Sometimes a monochromatic card ("one color") or a black & white card is a refreshing change of pace.  Here's a card featuring the Fresh Vintage stamp set (available as a Sale-A-Bration reward with a $50 order right now). The card was started on a Note Card & Envelope base

It's Sale-A-Bration!  You might have heard me mention that already, since it's my fav part of the stamping year.  Here's a card that I created back in December for my LovenStampfuls Demo Group Holiday Party (check out the party).  Yup, we were playing with Sale-A-Bration free stamp sets back before Christmas.  Feels like that was at least

Sweet & Simple: Brighten a Friday

October 7, 2011 By Meg Loven 1 Comment

I've told you before how my friend Margo always puts a sweet enclosure in any envelopes she sends to me.  So when I send a quick note or a check for a PTO/school activity, I try to follow Margo's lead and tuck a quick stamped tidbit into my envelope. Here's a little note (finished size 1-1/2" x 3") that I CASE'd from my fellow
