Happy Birthday Sydney

Today’s card is a digital image that I am using for my beautiful granddaughter’s birthday. She is big fan of Starbucks so I added their logo to the cup and enclosed a Starbucks’ gift certificate. For the background, I used one of the sheets from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. I love the muted color of the Soft Succulent sheet of DSP. Colors used: Soft Succulent for the dress… Read More »

Baby Bear for Ollie

The retired Baby Bear stamp set is a “3-Step” which means it’s designed to stamp over another stamped image and the result looks nearly photographic. The clear photopolymer stamps allow you to see right where you want to stamp I stamped the bear with Night of Navy. I used the Rectangle Stitched Frames and modified it so that it was a square instead a rectangle. The sentiment and the #one… Read More »

The Gang’s All Meer

This cute adorable stamp set (The Gang’s all Meer) was free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration but is no longer available. It is too cute to sell or stick in some dark corner just because it’s retired. I applied Balmy Blue Inker to an acrylic block, added a little water and applied to the top part of the front panel with a retired flat watercolor brush. The bottom is… Read More »

Happy Birthday David!

Today’s card features a card for my grandson David’s birthday. He is turning 21 years old! It’s not an SU image but I did use SU products on it. For my close relatives I always try and use an image that means something to them. If SU doesn’t carry something I can use, I find it elsewhere. In this case, David’s first car was Navy Blue Mustang. He totaled it… Read More »

Happy St Patrick’s Day

“A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.” That is one of my favorite St Paddy’s Day sayings! St Patrick’s Day also has special meaning for us. David and I had our first date on 17 March and every year we celebrate by going out to dinner. But we will not be doing that this year 🙁 The image was stamped with Tuxedo… Read More »

Happy Birthday Troy

Today’s card is for my grandson, Troy. He is not a sailor but Ventura is right at the ocean in California so I thought the sailor theme would be appropriate. When they are young (over 18 but under 30), you just don’t know what they really like! I used the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper for the banner and background panel. The banner was generated using the retired Thank… Read More »
