  • Good By to Doodle This

    It's like a I just discovered this stamp set!  I used it a lot when it first came out and then I somehow put it away and forgot about it.  I've used it several times recently when I discovered it was in the "Last Chance" List.  It does make the prettiest petals.  The designer paper…

    Teacher’s Pet

    No, I don't think that but I wanted to catch your attention!  I did didn't I???  I made these small gifts for my grandchildren's teachers.  David is in the 4th  grade going into the 5th grade and Felicia is in the 3rd grade going into the 4th grade.  They attend year-round school so they get…

  • Soft Summer

    Today's card uses the lovely Soft Summer Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  In checking my stash of cards, I found out that I've used this stamp set at least 20 times!  I knew I loved this set, but I didn't realize I had used it that many times!  I decided to use the Taste of…

  • Best Wishes

    Another of my favorite DSP that is retiring -   although I did peeked at the new DSP in the new catalog and they are gorgeous!  I am definitely going to offer the 6 x 6 swap DSP on 1 July 2009 though it won't include 20 packages of DSP.  I'll do maybe ten packages of DSP…

  • Doodle This

    It's time to say good by to an old and a new friend.  Today's card includes Doodle This and Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper –   both will retire on 30 June 2009.  I've had Doodle This since 2007 and I just recently purchased the Raspberry Tart DSP.   This paper is gorgeous and I don't know why…

  • Soft Summer

    Today's card includes one of the stamp sets that did not make it to the new Catalog. I've used this stamp set a lot but this is the first time I've used the two stamping technique.  I first stamped the outline image on Very Vanilla using Basic Brown.  I then colored in the solid stamp…

  • Flock Together

    Today's card was made using the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die on vellum paper. After I cut the flower out, I lightly inked up sections of the petals using an aqua painter and Tempting Turquoise just to give the embossed image some highlights.  I adhered the vellum to Flock Together DSP and then added the…

  • Love You!

    When I'm not feeling well, I really don't have the energy to come up with a good idea for a card.  So I decided to case this card from the catalog.  Well, it's not an exact case, I changed the placement of the main image and the pattern paper used. This card is so simple…

  • Flower, Daisy #2

    Today's card uses one of the bigz dies (Flower, Daisy #2).  I really like this die especially when used with the Tea Party Designer Series Paper.   This paper is so beautiful with the colors Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Basic Gray I used So Saffron, Almost Amethyst and Tea Party…

  • Heartfelt Thanks

    I thought I'd make a card without the designer series paper (gasp!!!).  Yesterday when I was playing around with spritzing the card stock with water before feeding it through the texturz plates and Big Shot, I made one using the scrolls plate from the Texturz Backgrounds #1.  As you can see it came out really…
