Winter Holiday

Last year’s Christmas stamp sets are feeling so neglected about this time of the year.  I pulled out the Winter Holiday Stamp Set to use for today’s post.

Autumn Days

I must be thinking about fall a lot!  Here’s another card features the Autumn Days Stamp Set Bundle.

Did the same thing and same colors for the leaves.  After sponging,  I  stamped the leaves using the Autumn Days Stamp Set.   The moon/sun was created using the large dowel and Citrus Cooler… Read More »

Harvest Wreath

The leaves are from a retired FSJ accessory (retired last year but I… 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 »
