Touch of Kindness

Hi Stampers  Another whimsical stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog called  Touch of Kindness.  This delightful set celebrates with a cheery hello, thank you or thinking of you and I love the images in it, especially the cute little birds and bird bath.  I paired the stamp set with the Blueberry Crisp Designer Series Paper which is retiring on 30 June 2011.  I've had this DSP since it came out… Read More »

Faith in Nature – sneak peek

Hi Stampers  This is one of the hostess stamp sets which we (demonstrators) are able to purchase as a pre-order from the 2011/2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  I Love the three images in the Faith in Nature Stamp Set.  It contains a leaf, flower and pearl – all simply beautiful.  It was hard for me to only choose two of the hostess sets from all that are available for purchase until 30 June 2011… Read More »

Adios to Animal Stories

Hi Stampers  I don't buy very much cute or baby stamps because frankly most of my kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews are either too old for kids or too young!  But this is an exception because I love the bold images in the Animal Stories Stamp Set.  But, alas, it will be retiring on 30 June 2011 so if you like the look of the bold images in the stamp… Read More »

Fabulous Florets the Poppy Way

Hi Stampers  I am beginning to absolutely love this stamp set.  It's the Fabulous Florets from the Summer Mini Catalog.  At first I thought it was too modern for me but the samples I've seen out there just blow me away!  I love that you can create vibant, lovely floral flowers with this gorgeous six piece set.  And it coordinates beautifully with the Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper.   This card uses… Read More »

Hi Stampers I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's Day or even a fabulous weekend!   I have been fooling around with one of the flower images from  the stamp set Fabulous Florets and embossed several ones using Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, So Saffron and Blushing Bride card stock.  Most of the cards you've seen to date have used vibrant colors such as Melon Mambo and Tango Tangerine because the stamp… Read More »
