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 »
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 »

Hi Stampin' Friends Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We finished off the weekend with dinner with the kids. Since it's the first time I made potato salad this year, it was my kick off to the summer. I mean it's not summer until I make potato salad and chili no matter how hot it is! (LOL) Today's card features the beautiful Hello Doily Stamp. Better than the real thing, this… Read More »

I really love the new foam ink pads, everything stamps so clear, sharp and the images ink up so much better without pounding on… Read More »

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card features the Ex Libris Background Stamp. Though it's a bookplate and for books, I decided to make a card with it. Mark ownership of books and other personal items with this exquisitely designed stamp, reminiscent of engraved European bookplates from the Middle Ages. Or pop it in a cellophane bag with a Classic Stampin' Pad and tie with grosgrain ribbon for a unique and thoughtful… Read More »
