Ears to You

Hi Stampin' Friends Todays' card features the whimsical cute Ears to You Single Stamp.  When I picked these colors, I was thinking Easter but after looking at it it could also be a welcome baby card! I stamped the images in Pink Pirouette on Whisper White Card Stock.  I then selected one of the three bunnies to cut out with my Paper Snips.  I did this two more times in… Read More »

Pleasant Poppies

 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 »

Elegant Butterfly

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 »

Layered Labels

Hi Stampin' Friends I never would have thought of using the color Summer Starfruit but it was one of the coordinating colors in the Pool Party Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Layered Labels Clear Mount Stamp Set.  The four-piece set coordinates with the Large Oval Punch, 1" Circle Punch, and our Apothecary Accent Framelits Dies. The image was stamped with Starfruit Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White… Read More »

Everybunny

Hi Stampin' Friends This has to be one of the cutest stamp sets in the annual catalog.  It's called Everybunny and I love all the animal images in it.  It has four fluffy bunnies, three matching mushrooms, two cute chicks, and one egg-stra special egg plant. The bunny image was stamped on Watercolor Paper with Jet Black Stazon. I then colored in the image with an aqua painter and Marina Mist, Soft Suede,… Read More »

Beautiful Birthday

Hi Stampin' Friends This is the perfect card for an old friend from work.  I haven't seen her in several years but we do keep in touch through birthday cards and Christmas cards. I'm not sure what the technique is called but I brayered Crumb Cake Classic Ink directly on the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then embossed it on Very Vanilla Card Stock.   The rose is part of… Read More »
