Apothecary Jar

Hi Stampin' Friends The Apothecary Stamp Set is one of my favorite sets.  I paired it with the Hello Doily Background stamp set and Fan Fair Designer Series Paper for a shabby chic look. The Apothecary Art stamp set makes a tasteful statement with floral-inspired labels in classic designs. The perennially stylish six-piece set coordinates with our Labels Collection Framelits and the Attic Boutique product suite. Fill a jar with treats,… Read More »

Sail Away, Sail Away

Hi Stampin' Friends Before I go into today's card, I wanted to show you a picture of the two Rachel's.  It's not often that I take a picture with my granddaughter Rachel and it's because I am usually the picture taker! We matched today!  Rachel had a pink shirt on and I had pink crop pants on! The goofy smile (love it!!!) on Rachel is because she recently lost her two… Read More »

World Treasures

Hi Stampin' Friends I made today's card for Debbie's private class on Thursday, 19 July 2012 and uses the World Treasures Stamp Set and Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set.  It's cased from the card shown on page 98 of the 2012-2013 Catalog. Famous for their showy feathers, peacocks are also a symbol of fidelity. Use this four-piece set to create a unique card expressing your love for someone special. Coordinates… Read More »

Extreme Elements

Hi Stampin' Friends I'm so glad that Extreme Elements is available in digital format because it retired this year and I like to use it for grandsons who are teenagers.  They are so hard to make cards for.  The digital image was printed out on Very Vanilla Card Stock using My Digital Studio.  The "splash" is More Mustard (opticity was reduced to 50%) and the sentiment and stars are Island… Read More »

Blooming with Kindness

Hi Stampin' Friends My husband and I took Stephanie, Felicia and David out to lunch because they all received such good grades.  Stephanie made the Dean's List at college, Felicia and David each made 5 A's and the rest B's.  I am so proud of my daughter and grandkids! Today's card uses one of my favorite stamp sets called Blooming with Kindness.  This stunning six-piece stamp set gives you plenty… Read More »

She’s All That

HI Stampin' Friends Sorry I didn't post yesterday.  I bought a new computer and it took over 24 hours to transfer the data from my old computer to my new computer.  I didn't realize how long it would take and I should have posted before transferring my data between the two computer. I'm still having problems with outlook (data did not transfer correctly) and will wait until Monday to contact… Read More »

Adios Tote-Ally Tess and Domestic Diva!

Adios Beau Chateau!

Hi Stampin' Friends I love, love the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and decided to use it for today's card.  I'll miss it but I am sure that Stampin' Up! will have some equally gorgeous new DSP for us to drool over!  Even though the coordinated color, Marina Mist, was listed in the catalog, I decided to use Baja Breeze because it seem to match a lot better. The pearls… Read More »

Happy Birthday Monica

Hi Stampin' Friends So how many of your stamp sets are retiring?  I didn't do too bad – only 33 of mine are retiring.  I was so glad to see that Lovely as a Tree is staying and I think it will be available in clear mount in the next catalog!  I'm sorry to see Sincere Salutations go but I've started using the My Digital Studio more and more for… Read More »

In Wilderness

Hi Stampin' Friends! I can't believe I've had this stamp set for almost a year and have not used it!  So I decide to dust it off and use it for my brother's birthday card. The set is called In Wilderness and is available in wood mount and clear mount. Beautiful sketches of the most noble of creatures grace this set. They are perfect subjects for greetings and gifts to… Read More »
