Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using Stampin' Up! links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support my blogs. Thank you in advance for that support!

As of January 21, 2026, most of my Stampin' Up! makes are moving to
https://cheringloveofpaper.blogspot.com/.
Most of my makes will be using Stampin' Up! products and be on that blog,
but any makes from other materials will still be posted here.
Enjoy browsing my blogs, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into these blogs feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Challenge - Use Pink


One challenge I did lately simply said "Use pink".  This inspired me to gather a variety of pink elements and a few scraps of paper to create this card.

Papier Tole

This card was designed as a wedding or anniversary card.  The focal is a foil papier tole from Paper Wishes - who also sell the background paper.  An embossed white card stock (embossing folder run through my Big Shot) forms a contrast to the papier tole focal. The border is a Peel-Off outline sticker and the sentiment is a Dazzles sticker.

Red/White/Black Thank You

This Thank You card was create in response to a Red/White/Black challenge.  It was a quick and easy card made from Card Makers Classic Instant Card Art and Card Makers Classic Creative Pack with the help of a paper punch and a Spellbinders Die.

Die Cut 1 - Motifs & Labels

Today's cards feature die cuts from the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Motifs set (cut with my Big Shot).  For this first card, I first cut the larger motif out of the green marble card front AND out of a white piece of cardstock.  I then replaced the green with white and taped it together from the back - including the little pieces (I later covered the inside with another piece of paper).  I then cut a smaller motif from the center of the cut out piece and put it in the center of the white replacement.  Don't throw out the leftover piece! It worked great for the next card.  This card is finished with a punched border, a focal flower cut from scraps from patterned scrapbook paper, and pen work sentiment written around the focal center.

As you can see, the focal on this card was the leftover from the previous card -- matted on white.  Another flower cut from patterned paper scraps, and a sentiment on a Fancy Tags Spellbinders die cut finishes this card.
