Painted Harvest

I saw this card on Pinterest and I had to case it. The artist is Shelly Godby – I changed it up a little to make it my own. Thanks Shelly for the inspiration! Are you thinking- what the heck is Casing? Copy And Share Everything! That’s Stampin’ Up’s definition of it and I think that pretty much sums it up! In crafting, we are all inspired by others.

You Are The Best!

During this pandemic, I have not gone anywhere except to the doctor because I am “at risk”. One of my favorite restaurants was closing permanently (Tea & Crumpet Room) and my granddaughter, Felicia, knew that I loved their Old Fashion Bake Potatoes and their orange rolls. She surprised me with an order for my husband and myself on the last day they were opened. I love that girl! Here’s a… Read More »

Forever Blossoms & The new Cutting Machine!

The gorgeous Forever Blossoms Stamp Set was used to create today’s card. I paired it with the retired Brights 6 x 6 Designers Series Paper. I used the Melon Mambo DSP from this stack. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set. I colored the flowers using the Melon Mambo Stamping’ Write Marker. The leaves were colored using the Green Granny Apple Stampin’ Write Marker. To finish it… Read More »

Saying Goodbye to Pressed Petals DSP

Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper will be retiring on 2 June 2020 (or if it sells out before then) and will no longer be available. I think that it is one of the most beautiful designer series paper in the 2019/2020 catalog year. For today’s card, I’m combing it with another retired stamp set called Climbing Roses (used greeting for my card). I saw this card on Pinterest (I think)… Read More »
