The flower is made using the Faux Suede Technique. I first punched out the flower using the 5-Petal Flower punch, then tightly crumpled it up and broke down the fibers with a bone folder. I was then able… Read More »

Good Morning Stampers! When I wrote in the title I thought of Days of Wine and Roses, a movie from the 1960's. Am I dating myself or what!

Good Morning Stampers I was going through my old stash of paper looking for stuff to send to Sherrill Graff. She does some amazing things with the kids from Ronald McDonald House and I was glad to be able to provide some paper that the kids could work with.

I used the magnetic movers and shapers to die cut the valentine on the right side of the card. I then… Read More »
