There is story behind today’s card! When I was looking for seeds to plant flowers (like the ones across the street from our house – see picture above) around our mailbox, I thought I had picked up the seed packet for Black Eye Susans. I inadvertently picked up the Sunflower Seed Packet. My husband planted them thinking I wanted Sunflowers. Didn’t realize I had the wrong ones until they started… Read More »

For today’s post, I’m combining the modern, edgy, grunge Chalk Talk Stamp Set with the Shabby Chic Look. Love the combination of Crisp Cantaloupe with Soft Suede! And I love, love our new Venetian Crochet Trim! The flower is a Non-SU item but everything else is Stampin’ Up!. The ribbon is the Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon which was dipped in a solution of Crisp Cantaloupe Reinker and water. While… Read More »
Roses are my favorite flowers especially the old fashion kind. This one is a Sweetbriar Rose and originated in Europe where they make tea from it (Rose Hips Tea). Though the real Sweetbriar Rose is pink I decide to color this one in our gorgeous new blue called Lost Lagoon (2014-2016 In-Color). I love the names that Stampin’ Up! selects for their colors! If you would like to place an… Read More »

I’ll give away a free kit every month until I run out of the extra kits I have. Check it out! I saw a card on Tami White’s blog and was inspired. I made the… Read More »

For today’s card, I used the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set. I can’t believe this set is retiring because it was so popular! Please note, if you do want to get this set, the clear version is no longer available, but you can get it in the wood mount. The flowers and butterfly were stamped with Versamark, coated with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set with the Heat… Read More »
The description for the Hardwood Background Stamp reads: “The Hardwood Background Stamp creates a realistic wood background for cards, scrapbook pages, and more!” And the description for the Everything Eleanor reads: “Delicate floral embellishments, frames, and flourishes–the perfect mix for your projects with vintage flair”. You think you could not mix the two together, but you can! I paired the masculine background stamp with the frilly flowers in Everything… Read More »
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a shabby chic card. Since the background was printed using the My Digital Studio and the Music Notes Stamp Brush Set and Downtown Grunge Photobook template, technically, I guess it would be a shabby chic hybrid card! After printing it off, I tore the script down both sides so that I had a 2 inch length. I adhered that to the musical notes background. The… Read More »
