This card is for my husband’s birthday. I chose The Wilderness Awaits Stamp Set because he loves the outdoors. He turned 81 years old and he still hikes, kayaks, sails and plays golf. So I guess I should say he’s 81 years young! The image was stamped onto Watercolor Paper with Jet Black Stazon Ink and then colored in with an Aqua Painter and Crazy Cajun, Soft Suede for the… Read More »
Today’s card is for my son-in-law, Gary. He’s a bicyclist and I thought he would enjoy the vintage image. I know that it isn’t a Stampin’Up! image but I know he will enjoy receiving this card. I also used the pattern paper called Authentique Suave Collection which is not a Stampin’ Up! paper. The digital image is a free one I found on the internet and was printed out using… Read More »
Today’s card is for my granddaughter’s, boyfriend Colt. He is an avid hunter so I thought the Wilderness Awaits Stamp Set was perfect for him.

Today’s card features the Party Pop Up Thinlits Dies. This was actually fun to make but I’m not going to lie to you – it took some time to figure it out. In the end, it was worthwhile because of the surprise inside the card. I did a light watercolor wash to the front of the card using Pool Party Ink and our Aqua painters. The Washi Tape is from… Read More »

Today’s card features a non Stampin’ Up! image. My nephew Tom loves to surf and he lives in the right part of the country (Southern California) to be able to do it most of the time. I must be blind or old (LOL) because I didn’t realize the surfer was holding an ironing board until I started coloring in the image! I used the retired My Digital Studio to print… Read More »
