Hi Stampin' Friends Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. On Sunday, we had Stephanie, David and the kids over for the last "official" barbeque of the summer. We had ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, cole slaw and baked beans – yummy! Before I go into today's card, I wanted to remind you about the free shipping special this weekend. It ends at 12:00 midnight on Monday, 3 September… Read More »
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 »
Hi Stampin' Friends Everytime I use the Extreme Surfboard digital image from the My Digital Studio, the song "Surfin' USA" goes through my head and it is still going through my head as I write this! Do you have this problem? If so, how do you get rid of it! If you can hang ten–or only wish you could–our Extreme Surfboard Stamp Brush is your ticket to Endless Summer. This one-piece… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card is a very simple and plain one. I started to make another floral one because I received a floral die cut that I've been dying to try out but then I remembered that I had not made a simple card in ages and I don't want you to get tired of seeing only one type of card on this blog. I'll experiment with the floral die and have… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends I've been playing around with the My Digital Studio again and came up with this card. The stamp brush set I used is called the Nature Stamp Brush Set and coordinates with the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper Digital Download. Additionally, I used the Vintage Overlays Stamp Brush Set for the ruler on the left side and to also give it that vintage look. Creating that perfect vintage look is… Read More »

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 »
