Did you ever think of combining a masculine background with a frilly flower?

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 »

Shabby Chic

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 »

You’re Peachy Keen

I remember people saying “peachy keen” in the early 50’s!  I guess I’m really dating myself (LOL).   Wonderfully retro, the Peachy Keen Stamp Set coordinates with the On Film Framelits Dies and the Retro Fresh Suite. I’m so glad we finally have a flower die to make 3D flowers with.  So easy to make – run Whisper White Card Stock through the Big shot using our new Spiral Flower Die.  Roll… Read More »

Need a cheerful card to brighten your day?

Nothing like a light and cheery card to brighten your day.  The sentiment “Sending Good Thoughts Your Way” in the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set is perfect to send someone that needs some cheering up! If you know me, you know I love floral paper and the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Pack has one that reminds me of Comfort Café Designer Series Paper.  That DSP was a long time favorite of mine. Today’s card… Read More »

Tea Party

What’s more lovely than a cup of tea? The Tea Party Set!  It coordinates with the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper and the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies.  I love the pitcher image in this stamp set.  It’s so quaint and elegant.  The flowers were colored with the Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Write and  the leaves with the Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker.  The pitcher was colored using the Smokey Slate Stampin’ Write Marker. I used… Read More »

I thought I would take a respite from making Christmas cards and share an all occasion card with you using the Swallowtail Stamp Set.  This set continues to be a favorite of mine and I think I’ve made a card in every color!
