Hi Stampin' Friends Another masculine card for you today! I needed a card to send to an acquaintance and since I don't make masculine cards very often, I don't have a reserve like I do with the feminine cards. I still had Island Indigo laying around (used yesterday for my grandson's card) and decided to use this color for today's card. I selected The Open Sea Stamp Brush Set for his card because… Read More »
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 »
Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card features the digital Timless stamp Brush Set. The sophisticated six piece set will make you think of yesteryear. Works beautifully with vintage, retro, or masculine projects. Nostalgiac images include a bicycle, telephone, and vintage car. I am beginning to love this color combination for a masculine card. It's Gumball Green and Midnight Muse – our 2012/2014 In-Colors! Using My Digital Studio, I printed out the vintage car… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends It's time for another masculine card. I find those so hard to make and need to challenge myself to create one. Though with the new gorgeous Fan Fair Designer Series Paper, making this card was so easy – I just let the background paper determine the colors I would use for this card and the layout was borrowed from Stampin' Connection. Easy Peasy! I love, love this paper – it… Read More »

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 »
Hi Stampers I was working on a birthday card in the shabby chic style when I came to a complete stand still. I did not have my Heat Tool to scrunch the ribbon because I had lent it out to my BFF. Has this ever happened to you? You get to a certain place on your card and you can't get any farther along? I'll be getting it back tomorrow… Read More »
Hi Stampers Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. The weather around here has been amazing – makes me want to be outside instead of inside unpacking! Yes, after 3 weeks I'm still unpacking – at my age, I guess that's normal (LOL). I remember moving (as a young woman) during the weekend and then having the apartment completely unpacked by the following weekend. And I was working full time! Anyhoo….Today's… Read More »
Hi Stampers I made today's card for our Real Estate Agent. He gave us a beautiful set of monogram towels as a housewarming gift. I used the You're My Type Stamp Brush Set for this card. Vintage typewriters are hip–and so is this retro-themed, seven-piece stamp set. Sentiments rendered in a classic, typewriter font fit perfectly on the typewriter "page." Coordinates with our nostalgiac Attic Boutique product suite. The DSP… Read More »
