The Everything Eleanor Clear Mount Stamp Set has delicate floral embellishments, frames, and flourishes–the perfect mix for your projects with vintage flair. I think this technique is called triple time stamping – it’s stamping all three layers at the same time. You layer 3 sizes of Whisper White Card stock using a repositionable adhesive and then stamp your images. You then pull them apart and then layer it with darker card… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends I want to wish my granddaughter, Rachel, a very, very Happy 7th Birthday! On the way to Wal-Mart for groceries yesterday morning, we kept encountering dead armadillos on the road AKA Arkansas Speed Bumps or according to my husband a “Good Armadillo”!

I used the Amazing Family Clear Mount Stamp Set. This set is very vintage and on trend. So versatile–and perfect for family birthday cards because it has the words mother, father, brother and sister. . Coordinates with the Amazing Accent Stampin’ Around… Read More »

Two-step stamping is so easy to… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends Have you heard the saying “Dog Days of Summer”? That usually happens in August around here but it’s that hot now! Oh well, it’s a good excuse to stay indoors and work on my beloved cards! Since I had the Modern Medley DSP out, I decided to use it again today but give it a shabby chic look. Check out the Masculine card I made yesterday with the… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends I wanted to share the only picture I have that was taken during my birthday party. It is of the 4 Rachel’s in our family. It is not a good picture because my granddaughter would not get out of the pool and dry off to take the picture. Oh well! Left to right (my niece, aunt, me and granddaughter) For today’s card, I decided to go shabby… Read More »
Hi Stampin’ Friends Well, I’m on the new word press blog so it will be a learning curve for a while as I learn to navigate through the new platform. Wish me luck! Note: Click on the pictures to get a larger/clear image! Today’s card is for my granddaughter who has turned 13 or should I say 13 going on 30. She is your typical teenager and I love her… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends I must apologize – I forgot to mention the name of the winner for Hostess Code QUTKNGC3. It's Alicia Gonzales and she won $50 in free product!

Of course, if your… Read More »

Today's card features the Hostess Stamp Set called Simply Sketched. I'm also using the new Ginger Garden Designer Series Paper for the background. I love the blue and yellow combination – it… Read More »
