Today's card is called Arte Oriental. The English name of the stamp set is Asian Artistry but when I ordered it from Stampin' Up! during the preview I inadvertently order the Spanish version. And since I had used the images several times before I noticed my mistake, I could not return it. The photograph of the card is a little different than my usual. I usually try and take the… Read More »

Today's card came about because of two things: (1) needed to come up with cards for this month's stamp camp which will consist of sympathy cards. We all need them but are not usually in a mood to make them when we really need them! and (2) I decided to join in on the late night stampers challenge #31 which is to make a monochromatic card. When I think… Read More »
Hey what a neat saying from the titles of two stamp sets. I usually put the title of the stamp set as the title of the post and I like this! It's a philosophy we should all live by. I just can't stay away from the new in-colors. They are beautiful, bold and bright and I love them anyway (LOL)!. This card was inspired by one I saw several months… Read More »
I am very excited to feature the stamp set Peace Within from the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.

This card uses the new In-colors Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo. The Designer Series… Read More »

I cannot believe I am making this card for my granddaughter, Sydney, so far in advance. Her birthday isn't until 13 September. I'm usually rushing around making a card and trying to get it in the mail before her birthday! I love these two little girls from a Kind Word and they are perfect for my 10 year old granddaughter. I decide to use Parisian Breeze DSP which retired last month… Read More »
This stamp set is one of my favorites because you know I love floral stamp sets! The designer series paper is Raspberry Tart which retired last month (boohoo). I decided to use watercolor paper with this card. I stamped the image with Black Stazon, then colored in the flowers with Regal Rose and Rose Red Stampin' Write Markers. The leaves were colored in using a blender pen and Kiwi Kiss… Read More »
Today's card was made using the sketch (SSC 106) from Stamping 411. I used the stamp set from the Lovely Flowers Bundle, Level 3 Hostess Stamp Set. I used a blender pen and the Mambo Mellon Classic Ink Pad because I wanted a lighter touch on the flowers and the markers was too dark. I stamped the flower images on Whisper White card stock with Black Stazon. I then colored… Read More »
