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?

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 »
