Stampin’ Up! Country Living

Colors Used on this Project Dapper Denim Crumb Cake Whisper White Don’t know why this stamp set, Country Living, should remind me of the 1950’s song, Summertime, from Porgy & Bess.  Maybe because in both instances, the living is easy! Loved this card when I first saw it on Pinterest!  In face, I think I bought the stamp set just to make this card(LOL)!  I changed a couple off things… Read More »

Hooroo Kind Koala

Stampin’ Up! is retiring the Kind Koala Stamp.   It’s such a cute adorable Koala! By adding a balloon from the Balloon Celebrations Photopolymer Stamp Set, I’ve made it into a masculine card. I used the “no longer available” Smokey Slate Blendabilities to color in the Koala.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Stampin’ Up! will bring these back or at least another type of alcohol marker.

The Wilderness Awaits

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 »

Happy Birthday Gary

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 »
