Paper Doily goes Shabby Chic

Hi Stampers Today's card features the new gorgeous Paper Doily Sizzlits Die from the Occasions Mini.  This is one of the first things I bought from the Occasions Mini during the preorder period.  I love this doily and its intricate  design – perfect for the Shabby Chic look! The sentiment is from the Timeless Treasurers Stamp Set.  Instead of stamping it, I decided to print it out using Word because I… Read More »

Thanks for Caring

Hi Stampers I've been decluttering my stamp room and came across this beautiful lace  still in the sealed wrap package!   I know that it is not a Stampin' Up! product but I wanted to use it because it screamed Shabby Chic/Vintage and you know how I love those type of cards. I'm also using the Thanks for Caring Stamp Set which retired last year.  The DSP is from the Attic Boutique Designer… Read More »

Coordinates with the sumptuously feminine Attic Boutique product suite.

Rachel Sweet Valentine & FSOTM Winner!

Hi Stampers I decided to play today with My Digital Studio.  I purchased the Sweetest Ever Valentine's Designer Template last week when it was released by Stampin' UP!.  When I was looking for it on the My Digial Studio, I came across a template that was perfect to convert to a Valentine's Day scrapbook page.  I don't remember purchasing it but it might have been as part of a package.  … Read More »

At the same time, a soft, minimalistic, and feminine feel is emphasized to… Read More »
