Good Morning Stampers! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today's card was inspired by one in the July Stampin' Success (page 28). This magazine is available to all demonstrators and is chocked full of helpful hints, business ideas and cards that inspire you. I just love the color combination of black, white and yellow. Though in this case, the yellow is called Daffodil Delight. Daffodil Delight is the new yellow… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! I thought I would dust off Friends 24/7 and use it. It was feeling so neglected, the poor thing! When it first came out, it was one of my favorites but as new stamps came out, it was delegated to the back burner. I guess I'm just too finicky! (LOL). This stamp set is the perfect way to tell your friends how much you appreciate them… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July. We had a nice and quiet weekend. Today's card is for my newest downline, Kelli from Hawaii. A very big welcome to Kelli from the Aloha state! Isn't the paper gorgeous? All of the Stampin' Up! designer series papers are absolutely beautiful and they make it so easy to create a card with coordinating background card stock. In… Read More »

Good Morning Stampers I ran across this technique while I was blog surfing the other day. I saw it on Joan B's blog called Paperlicious. For this card, I am using Elements of Style and Pretty in Pink/Chocolate Chip card stock. Joan's Paperlicious is one of the blogs I faithfully follow. I love her cards (clean and simple) and I can relate to her on some many levels. Stamp an… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! One last time for Spring Song, one of my favorite stamp sets. If you like this stamp set, order it before 30 June 2010 because then it will be gone. And right now I have a special – 20% off retiring stamp sets (see below). It seems I've rediscovered Tea Party DSP! I just found the striped paper of blue, greens in this package and I may just… Read More »
Good Morning stampers! For today's post, I thought I would pair a relatively new stamp with retiring card stock. The stamp set is Messages for Mom and the card stock and paper is Almost Amethyst and Tea Party Designer Series Paper. The challenge is from SUDSOL's Case Challenge #39 – you take a a case sample from the Stampin' Success Magazine and either copy it exactly or chance it slightly. Since… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers As I was coloring in my roses (image from Elements of Style), I kept thinking, "Are there real blue roses?". From the Wikipedia: Blue roses, often portrayed in literature and art as a symbol of love and prosperity to those who seek it, do not exist within nature, due to genetic limitations………. But like an instructor I took a card class from once said, "You are the… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers Today's card is using both retiring products and new products. I paired Almost Amethyst with Tea Party DSP. Love that DSP, it's so dainty and soft. The Almost Amethyst card stock (both 12 x 12 and 8 1/2 x 11) has sold out but the Tea Party DSP is still available. The new is the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (it's gorgeous) and Perfect Punches Clear Mount Stamp Set. Contest – win a… Read More »
