The Gang’s All Meer

This cute adorable stamp set (The Gang’s all Meer) was free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration but is no longer available. It is too cute to sell or stick in some dark corner just because it’s retired. I applied Balmy Blue Inker to an acrylic block, added a little water and applied to the top part of the front panel with a retired flat watercolor brush. The bottom is… Read More »

Fable Friends Happy Spring!

The Fable Friends Stamp Set is overloaded with cuteness! Who can resist these cute animals? Don’t you want to just hug them all? I do! I must be in a cuteness mode because the last couple of cards I’ve made have been cute whimsical cards and I still have a lot of ideas whirling in my head for other cute cards. The flowers are from the retired Southern Serenade Stamp… Read More »
