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.

Baby Congrats

Here's another New Baby Card.  It's made in a similar way to the one I showed yesterday.  I wish the picture did it justice.  In person it's so pretty with the white baby buggy all sparkly with glitter.  The background paper is from HOTP.

The focal was first cut & embossed from green glimmer paper using a Spellbinder's Decorative Labels Eight die. I got the stencil from Paper Wishes.  The buggy was made by using white dimensional paint with the stencil and adding glitter before the paint dried.

The greeting is a Dazzle sticker applied to a blue piece of paper that was cut with a die from JustRite's Antique Tags One set.  I inked the edges in a darker blue before adding it to the card.

Precious Baby


My ballroom dance coach has a baby due soon, so I figured I'd better get busy making a card.  I started with a piece of printed card stock from my stash (DCWV???) for the card base.

For the focal, I found the pretty lavender handmade card stock weight paper.  After cutting it to size I added the baby buggy using a stencil & white dimensional paint.  Before the paint dried, I sprinkled it with fine glitter, so in person it is nice and sparkly.  After it dried, I added a touch of green ribbon for the wheels to "sit" on.

The word "precious" was scavenged from my stash.  The "Baby blocks" were a yellow Dazzle sticker that I colored with alcohol inks and then backed with green paper before fussy cutting around them.  Both words are attached with foam tape.

Card Making Frenzy 23

This is the final card in my Card Making Frenzy set of cards made with one of my card kits based on my pre-made card focals.  The patterned card stock once again came with one of my card making magazines.  I used a green strip of glimmer paper to form a center border and cut a couple of tags using a die from Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two to serve as a mat for my focal.

The focal itself was heat embossed in black powder using a couple of JustRite stamps from the sets Be Strong and Your Special Day and cut with one of their dies from the Nesting Oval Medallions set.

Card Making Frenzy 22


We're nearing the end of my card making Frenzy made using my pre-made card kits and focals. This card again starts with paper I got with my card making magazine and a pink card from a DCWV set of pastel cards. The focal was another one made with glossy card stock and alcohol ink.  It was heat embossed with VersaMark ink and copper embossing powder using JustRite stamps from Enjoy the Day and Grateful Heart stamp sets, and cut with the matching die from their Vintage Labels Two set.
