No Prob Llama

From Etsy:  Trend Alert!  Llamas are the new unicorn.  Furry and seriously cute, it’s no wonder that furry animal is leading the pack. This reminded me of the No-Prob-Llama Stamp Set Bundle I currently owned.  I haven’t used it in a while and thought I would make a llama that somewhat resembled the llama in the above picture. I used the flowers from above the cow’s head from the Life… Read More »

Peony Blooms

Today’s card features the gorgeous Peony Blooms Stamp Set.  I wanted to make a quick and simple birthday card and this set was perfect for that look.

The washi tape is retired and one of the tapes was from… Read More »

Happy Birthday Rachel

Today’s post features a birthday card for my granddaughter, Rachel.  She has two boxers she absolutely adores and I thought she would like a birthday card from them. Their names are Quorra and Cletus (Quorra is from the movie Tron and Cletus is just a good old country name). The images are from Goggle images and the greeting is computer generated.  The background paper is from the new RSVP Printed… Read More »

Goodbye Let’s Ride

It’s time to say goodbye to another favorite called the Let’s Ride ATS Stamp.  They don’t have a motorcycle stamp in the new catalog so I may keep it instead of selling it. This card is for a friend who loved to ride but has since given it up.  I thought it would bring a smile to his face because I’ve also included the word “Route 66” on the front… Read More »

Summer Rose

Today’s card features the beautiful Summer Rose Stamp Set.  In case you are wondering about the printed paper, it’s from some paper I ordered for my background when taking pictures of the cards.  If you are familiar with Amazon, then you know that you get way more than a person could want or need (ha, ha).  Decided to use it on some cards. The rose image was stamped several times… Read More »

Stay Wild

My team mate, Barbara Miller, and I challenge each other once a month to use a certain stamp set.  We alternate picking the stamp set and/or colors.  This month is was just the stamp set called Stay Wild. Though I used watercolor inks, I was able to use the Butter Cream Card Stock because I didn’t saturate the panel too much.  The mountains were made combining Dark Roast Silk and… Read More »
