I colored the image with the Raspberry Ripple Stampin' Write Marker for the flowers and used… Read More »

Elegant Butterfly Thank You Card

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card was inspired by a card I saw in September's Stampin' Up! Stampin' Success Magazine.  I thought it was too cute not to share with you! And this is what I came up with.  I made mine more springlike with soft colors.   The sentiment is the Thank You Kindly Stamp Brush Set.  Using MDS2 (love that program!!!), I was able to color in the individual… Read More »

Wisteria Wonder

Hi Stampin' Friends Wisteria Wonder is a beautiful color and I decided to use it for today's card.  When I was browsing through the different blogs I follow, I came across a card by Vicki Birdick that I had to case.  She does amazing work! It was also another excuse to play with my new toy called Mini Rolled Roses Die-namics.  I love making the miniature roses with this thing… Read More »

Be of Good Cheer

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 »

Tres Shabby Chic

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 »

Hello Doily

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 »

Old Meets New – Creative Elements

Hi Stampin' Friends Is it hot enough for you?  I keep reminding myself that come December, I am going to wish it was July!  Okay, okay, enough complaining about the weather because I realize it's hot everywhere.  Instead lets talk about our favorite subject – stampin! Today's card features the Creative Elements Stamp Set (OLD) and the gorgeous Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons (NEW).  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.… Read More »

Papaya Collage

Hi Stampin' Friends I received my first collection of the new ink pads (subltes collection) and wanted to play with them.  I love the way the ink up the stamps – everything is so clear and crisp!  For today's card, I used the Pink Pirouette Ink and Papaya Collage Stamp Set, along with the Word Play Stamp Set for the sentiment. Use these exquisitely detailed images to bring vintage elegance… Read More »

Delicate Doilies

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's post will be really short becausee I'm getting ready for tomorrow's class and I don't feel that well.  I think it's something I ate! I'm using Delicate Doilies and Layered Labels for today's card and the colors Summer Starfruit and Raspberry Ripple.  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 »
