Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grunge

Today’s card features the Gorgeous Grunge – I must have George Clooney on my mind because I titled this post “Gorgeous George!”.  Anyhoo, it features the Gorgeous Grunge and Choose Happiness Clear Mount Stamps Sets. The chevron punch and music notes were printed out on Whisper White Card Stock using My Digital Studio.  I then added the Tea Lace Paper Doily to the bottom of the Chevron Punch. The splatters… Read More »

Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch

Oh the flowers you can make with the Flower Patch Two-Step Photopolymer Stamp Set!  It’s got all the shapes and sizes you’ll want plus great greetings and several stems for endless possibilities. I really didn’t have pattern paper to match the colors I wanted to use for this card so I made my own!  Using a Sponge Dauber, I stamped a random pattern of circles using the Blushing Bride Classic… Read More »

Stampin’ Up! Regarding Dahlia

This past Saturday, I had a private class at Anna’s house (customer).  She lives in Holiday Island, Arkansas.  It’s a beautiful retirement community north of Eureka Springs, AR. Though the group was small, it was so much fun and the ladies enjoyed themselves.  For me, it is so exciting to show someone who has never stamped how easy it is to make a beautiful handmade card. Because they were beginners,… Read More »

Gift of Love

From the SU Blog – this is such a cute project! ~~ Rachel What can be more special than giving a uniquely packaged gift to someone just because you love them?

I’ve always loved the floral sets and I have a lot of them but this one has so many different images to it that you could use for both a feminine and masculine… Read More »

Masculine Monday – World Map

Do you run into brick walls when trying to create masculine cards? I do.  I find that my stamps, paper and accessories come from what I like, and I like bling, pearls,  lace and the subtle colors …not the best combo for a guy. So I turned to Pinterest and found this awesome card that I cased.  It did not identify the creater so I can’t give them credit.   Usually… Read More »

Gorgeous Starburst Sayings

I am not calling this a gorgeous Sunburst Sayings card because I think it’s beautiful.   I am calling it by this name because I combined the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set with the  Sunburst Sayings Stamp Set! It’s sort of a quirky, grungy, eclectic type of card with a little bling!  So what do you think – do you like it? The bling comes from the Gold Sequin Trim and… Read More »
