This time I used Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Early Espresso.  The image was printed out in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla Card Stock with the dressmaker form faded to 50% so… Read More »

Established Elegance

Hi Stampers The Big Shot Class is over and as promised, here is the recipe for the Established Elegance Card & 3D projects: Isn't this card beautiful?  It's from page 125 of the 2011/2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  I basically cased it but made a couple of changes to make it my own.  Though it doesn't look to be part of Shelli's collection, to me it does scream "Shelli!" The images… Read More »

Elements of Style

Hi Stampers I remember when the Elements of Style Stamp Setfirst came out.  Everyone was crazy about it and it was on everyone's must have list.  And this continues to be a favorite though you don't see it as often.  I love it because of it's images of vintage blooms, birds, and flourishes.  Decided to use the blooms from the set for this card and the sentiment from Beau Style. I'll… Read More »

Hi Stampers I've been playing around with the My Digital Studio again.  I love this product and am amazed at all it can do.  Everytime the new digital releases come out on Tuesday, I usually buy at least one digital download and start playing with it.     For this card, I wanted to make it look shabby chic so I used the Hello Doily Stamp Brush Set, the Chateau Bella Stamp… Read More »

Sweet Floral

Hi Stampers!  My last card was shabby chic and vintage.  I thought I would make a different statement with today's card.  I used the Sweet Floral Stamp because of its bold solid design.  It says "look at me!".  And I paired it with a vintage looking DSP (First Edition DSP), the Raven Lace Trim and Black Jewels from last year's Holiday Mini.   I used the new Cobbler Cherry Stampin' Emboss Powder… Read More »

National Grandparents Day!

Hi Stampers  I was going to post this card on Sunday which is National Grandparents Day but decided to post it today  instead.  Reminding you that it's Grandparents Day on Sunday would make it too late for you to send your grandparents a card if you forgot! I was inspired by a card that Sandi McIver made a couple of months ago.  Her work is amazing and I am a devoted fan!  The… Read More »
