Hi Stampin' Friends A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary. In going through some pictures for another project, I came across a picture that was taken during the wedding. I guess it's one that didn't make it into the album. We were married on 14 February 1993 at the Loveland Ski area near Denver. We are wearing ski clothes (even the minister!)… Read More »

Hi Stampin' Friends The Feeling Sentimental Clear Mount Stamp Set is one of my favorite sets from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. I love the vintage look of this set. I cased this from a card I found on Pinterest but I can't remember whose it was and it didn't have a watermark on it. I changed a couple of items to make it my own, i.e., different embossing folder, etc. The… Read More »

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card features the Pleasant Poppies Clear Mount Stamp Set or at least part of that stamp set. As you can see by this picture, I cut the set in half. I think I like it better this way. I've used it only once as a background and I think I'll be able to use it more often this way. The poppies were stamped with Versamark… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends I saw this technique on Pinterest (love that Pinterest!) I’ll have a video showing how to do the double embossing sometime next week because I have a head cold and you don’t want to hear my voice right now (LOL). The Very Vanilla Card Stock was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots and the Designer Frames Embossing Folders. That was layered onto Floral District Designer Series Paper.… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends It seems that for the first couple of months each year, I'm making birthday cards almost every day! Today's card is for my hubby David. I wanted to make a card that showed moonlight sailing. I tried using the Sail Away stamp but I couldn't get it to come out right and you don't want to see my mistakes! So I decided to do a search in… Read More »
