Apothecary Jar

Hi Stampin' Friends The Apothecary Stamp Set is one of my favorite sets.  I paired it with the Hello Doily Background stamp set and Fan Fair Designer Series Paper for a shabby chic look. The Apothecary Art stamp set makes a tasteful statement with floral-inspired labels in classic designs. The perennially stylish six-piece set coordinates with our Labels Collection Framelits and the Attic Boutique product suite. Fill a jar with treats,… Read More »

Sail Away, Sail Away

Hi Stampin' Friends Before I go into today's card, I wanted to show you a picture of the two Rachel's.  It's not often that I take a picture with my granddaughter Rachel and it's because I am usually the picture taker! We matched today!  Rachel had a pink shirt on and I had pink crop pants on! The goofy smile (love it!!!) on Rachel is because she recently lost her two… Read More »

Be of Good Cheer

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's post features the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper but it's not a Christmas card!  I just like the bold colors in it and wanted to use it for today's card.  Besides it coordinates perfectly with the  gorgeous  new 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon (page 4 of the Holiday Catalog).   Remember I was working on some flowers using a Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses Die.  I was… Read More »

Surfing USA

Hi Stampin' Friends Everytime I use the Extreme Surfboard digital image from the My Digital Studio, the song "Surfin' USA" goes through my head and it is still going through my head as I write this! Do you have this problem?  If so, how do you get rid of it! If you can hang ten–or only wish you could–our Extreme Surfboard Stamp Brush is your ticket to Endless Summer. This one-piece… Read More »

Extreme Elements

Hi Stampin' Friends I'm so glad that Extreme Elements is available in digital format because it retired this year and I like to use it for grandsons who are teenagers.  They are so hard to make cards for.  The digital image was printed out on Very Vanilla Card Stock using My Digital Studio.  The "splash" is More Mustard (opticity was reduced to 50%) and the sentiment and stars are Island… Read More »

Blooming with Kindness

Hi Stampin' Friends My husband and I took Stephanie, Felicia and David out to lunch because they all received such good grades.  Stephanie made the Dean's List at college, Felicia and David each made 5 A's and the rest B's.  I am so proud of my daughter and grandkids! Today's card uses one of my favorite stamp sets called Blooming with Kindness.  This stunning six-piece stamp set gives you plenty… Read More »

She’s All That

HI Stampin' Friends Sorry I didn't post yesterday.  I bought a new computer and it took over 24 hours to transfer the data from my old computer to my new computer.  I didn't realize how long it would take and I should have posted before transferring my data between the two computer. I'm still having problems with outlook (data did not transfer correctly) and will wait until Monday to contact… Read More »

Sneak Peek – Oval Accents

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card showcases one of the new dies in the 2012/2013 Catalog called Bigz Clear Oval Accent  Die.   It coordinates with the new Forever with You Stamp Set (page 132 of the new catalog). Like the framelits dies, it's clear so you can see where you are placing the die on the card stock.  For the background, I used the Everyday Enchante DSP from the Sale-a-bration Catalog with Poppy… Read More »

Sneak Peek – Layered Labels and Comfort Cafe DSP

Hi Stampin' Friends I am so excited to be able to show you some gorgeous new designer series paper called Comfort Cafe.  It is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of my grandmother! I am also working on 3D project (Petite Purse Bigz L Die) that goes with the card, but I didn't finish it in time for today's post.  I'll have it ready for tomorrow's post. The sentiment is layered… Read More »
