Good Morning Stampers My husband and I went out shopping this morning and now all our Christmas shopping is done! WHOOHOO! I hope that most of you have at least the majority of it done. Today's card is another spring card. I selected the retired Bella Birds Designer Series Paper for the background. The front is embossed with the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. After it was embossed, I cut carefully around… Read More »
Does the name Vintage Vogue bring thoughts of dark, muted colors? To me, it usually does. But I decided to try it with soft Spring like colors and it works! What do you think? The card was made for the Stamping 411 challenge (#SSC129) I paired the stamp set with Bashful Blue Patterns Designer Series Paper and Whisper White card stock. The flowers were stamped with Bashful Blue Classic Ink… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! Burrrrrrr… It's cold today – high of 22 degrees! I guess it's not as cold as up north, but I am not used to this! I'm originally from sunny Southern California and it's time like this that I miss that climate! Today's card is a vintage type card. I used the frame from the Charming Stamp Set that's on page 32 of the Holiday Mini. It's also… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! I was digging through my paper looking for some Christmas paper and I came across this one. It's called Holiday Treasures and retired about a year ago (I think!). I decided to pair it with the retired stamp set Christmas Cardinal which retired a couple of year ago. I usually sell my stamp sets as soon as they retire (except for those that I can't bear to part with)… Read More »
Good morning stampers! Today's card also uses the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. This card was made for my stamp camp held on 18 November 2009. I'll be showcasing the other cards from that same class in the next couple of days. This card is very bright and cheerful and I never would have thought to put Summer Sum and Pink Passion but it works. I pulled the colors from the DSP. … Read More »
When I saw this card on Stampin' Addicts, I knew that I would case it. I did change a couple of things but it's basically the same layout, same colors. The Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set is the perfect set for the soft elegant colors used on this card I used retired colors Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss and the Designer Series Paper "Parisian Summer" also retired. I wished I had… Read More »
Good Morning everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The weather in our area has been beautiful – doesn't seem like fall at all. I decided to make a card with a vase that is made from the ornament punch. When the ornament punch first came out, I didn't want to purchase it because I didn't want to buy a punch I could only use once a year. Then… Read More »
Today's post features the stamp set Great Friend. Since I selected the Tall Tales Designer Series Paper as the background (I like it for its cheery bright colors), I felt it didn't need anything else except for the sentiment. A very quick and easy card to make. Download a Printer Friendly Version of the Card Supplies and Directions: Great Friend 6 November 2009.pdf (218.2K) Thanks for stopping by! To… Read More »
I've had a head cold for several days now and have not really felt like stamping. Today I decided to make a card that was bright and colorful. I think I failed in the colorful but I liked the way it came out anyway (LOL)! I used a technique from Tami White that I saw recently. Here is the video. You need chipboard (I used On-Board Book Basics (Small)) and any embossing folder to get this look. I used… Read More »
Good Morning everyone! I decided to try and make a new banner using the MDS. So what do you think – do you like???? I'll take the next couple of days to make the sidebar graphics and try to coordinate the colors. Does anyone know where I can find out what the numbers for the colors, i.e., Perfect Plum. I'd like to change the color of the text. I also… Read More »
