Hi Stampers This is one of the hostess stamp sets which we (demonstrators) are able to purchase as a pre-order from the 2011/2012 Idea Book & Catalog. I Love the three images in the Faith in Nature Stamp Set. It contains a leaf, flower and pearl – all simply beautiful. It was hard for me to only choose two of the hostess sets from all that are available for purchase until 30 June 2011… Read More »

Hi Stampers Today I received a beautiful card from one of my blog readers, Lisa. I had ordered Princess House items from her and when she sent me the receipt, she enclosed the below card. I think it's called a shadow box card and it's simply gorgeous. It's Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise. You can't see it in the picture but the flower was cut out and adhered to the… Read More »
Hi Stampers I cased this card from a video on the demo only Stampin' Up! website. It was also in the latest demo only Stampin' Success Magazine. The technique is called double embossing and I'll be teaching this at the next New Techniques Class scheduled for 1 July 2011. I'll have all the information up on the class schedule in the next couple of days. Thanks for stopping by today! … Read More »
Hi Stampers Here's the card I was working on yesterday. Today's card features the Fancy Flower Stamp Set. I Love this stamp set and hope it doesn't retire come 1 July 2011 because it's one of my favorite even though I haven't used it very much lately. There are a lot of things going on with this card. The Very Vanilla Card Stock was partially embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing… Read More »
Hi Stampers My stamping coach, John, challenged us to use one of our oldest (current) stamp sets in our inventory. For me, it was a toss up between Sincere Salutations and Lovely as a Tree. I decided to use Sincere Salutations since it's always been a favorite and a "go to" sentiment stamp set. I also decided to use the Doily Triple Layer Punch from the Summer Mini Catalog to create the… Read More »
Hi Stampers My BFF Becky from California has been visiting me this week. Since she won't be here for my New Techniques Class, I thought I would show her the Floating Reinkers technique today. She made her card from this sample – I think her card turned out so much better than mine! I love how Pear Pizzazz contrasts wth the Poppy Parade. If you are interested in attending… Read More »
Hi Stampers With the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set from the Summer Mini Catalog, you can create vibrant, lovely floral images for a card for a dear friend. For today's card, I've used this stamp set, the colors Pacific Point and Pear Pizzazz and the technique called the floating reinker technique. I tried to keep it simple because I didn't want the design to take away from the reinker technique. Overall, I… Read More »
Hi Stampers I am beginning to absolutely love this stamp set. It's the Fabulous Florets from the Summer Mini Catalog. At first I thought it was too modern for me but the samples I've seen out there just blow me away! I love that you can create vibant, lovely floral flowers with this gorgeous six piece set. And it coordinates beautifully with the Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper. This card uses… Read More »
Hi Stampers I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother's Day or even a fabulous weekend! I have been fooling around with one of the flower images from the stamp set Fabulous Florets and embossed several ones using Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, So Saffron and Blushing Bride card stock. Most of the cards you've seen to date have used vibrant colors such as Melon Mambo and Tango Tangerine because the stamp… Read More »
