Today’s card is another one of my Stamp Club cards. We are having class tonight, and I’m featuring some new stamps sets and new colors that Stampin’ Up! has recently introduced in their new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog. I received inspiration for this card from Pinterest, it is NOT an original. Life is too crazy these days for me to spend alot of time creating original designs. I enjoy the process of cardmaking, but more often…
It’s time to create some graduation cards and send well wishes to the “Class of 2017” graduates! I found some inspiration on Pinterest, so I can’t claim this idea entirely, but I am using different color schemes to coordinate with the school colors in our area. This one was created for a customer order for one of my coworkers. She loved it, and I hope it will give you some inspiration, also! If you…
Just a little note…….to let everyone know that Valentine’s Day is almost here! Mail your hand-made cards out and tell them you love them! Today’s card is super sweet! There’s something about that teeny tiny envelope that gets me every time! I punched the little hears out with the Confetti punch and carefully applied them to the card with Stampin’ Up! Fine Tip Glue. It is a little tedious to do the little hearts……and…
Stampin’ Up’s annual Sale-A-Bration has begun, and this is one of my favorite stamps! Such a simple little word, in a sweet little font, with such great potential to brighten someone’s day! When I plan my classes, I work hard to make sure my gals are constantly using new products and new techniques that they haven’t purchased, or perhaps overlooked in the catalog. I must confess, even I had overlooked the Happy Patterns stencils that you…
Happy New Year from the Derrick Family! We are finally getting back into the groove after a busy December, and I’m ready to start working toward blogging once again. Hopefully I can get in the habit of updating it more regularly and keeping you inspired with some stamping and sewing projects, as well as some “life” happenings in our neck of the woods. 2016 will be an exciting year, for sure! We are having our…

I know it’s been a little “hit and miss” on my blogging, but things are always very busy in my life — and yours! I can keep making a list of excuses, or I can just keep on doing the best I can. I hope that I can just continue to post projects that I create, and hope that they will bless some of you. I know how much I love seeing posts on other’s…
These cards today were made by my daughter Allyson using the same technique as the cards posted yesterday. She decided to cover the entire card front with strips of DSP. The strips are 1/4″ and 1/2″. Don’t you love how beautiful they are? And they show off the new DSP collections so well! She used the English Garden and Pretty Petals Designer Series Papers. I forgot to show you this sample of how the…
Welcome to my blog! I love sharing my creative projects with others! I enjoy stamping hand-made cards, quilt-making, sewing anything and everything, traveling, and drinking coffee. We stay busy with 3 grown children and an active 9 year old.....my creative time is my "therapy" and I'm constantly planning my next project.
