Serene Silhouettes

Hi Stampin' Friends I love, love the Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set and have seen a lot of beautiful cards made using this set out in blogland.  I ordered it several weeks ago and finally got around to playing with it.  This set is an all-season four-piece set that gives you stamping options all year long.

Elegant Butterfly Thank You Card

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card was inspired by a card I saw in September's Stampin' Up! Stampin' Success Magazine.  I thought it was too cute not to share with you! And this is what I came up with.  I made mine more springlike with soft colors.   The sentiment is the Thank You Kindly Stamp Brush Set.  Using MDS2 (love that program!!!), I was able to color in the individual… Read More »

Wisteria Wonder

Hi Stampin' Friends Wisteria Wonder is a beautiful color and I decided to use it for today's card.  When I was browsing through the different blogs I follow, I came across a card by Vicki Birdick that I had to case.  She does amazing work! It was also another excuse to play with my new toy called Mini Rolled Roses Die-namics.  I love making the miniature roses with this thing… 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 »

Tres Shabby Chic

Hi Stampin' Friends Well, I over did it this time.  I was trying for the shabby chic look and it took me several hours to get it right.  Usually I can made a card in about an hour (from design to finish) but I keep changing things around on this one. I used the Tea Shoppe Clear Mount Stamp Set for this card.  Whatever your tea preference, this delightful, vintage-inspired… Read More »

Simple Sunday

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card is a very simple and plain one.  I started to make another floral one because I received a floral die cut that I've been dying to try out but then I remembered that I had not made a simple card in ages and I don't want you to get tired of seeing only one type of card on this blog.  I'll experiment with the floral die and have… Read More »

Toxic Treats Deux

Hi Stampin' Friends I'm using the Toxic Treat Stamp Set again (Love this set!) for today's card.  I wish I could show you the images in the stamp set to show how cute they are!  But you either have the catalog by now or you can see it online on 1 August 2012.
