Hi Stampers! Today's card is for my son-in-law Gary. I used the Timeless Stamp Brush Set for his card which is a My Digital Studio exclusive!

Nostalgic images include a bicycle, telephone, and vintage car which you can see faintly in the background. The background pattern paper is called Well Worn Designer Series… Read More »

That way, I can use it long after the clear/wood mount stamp… Read More »

I love California and love… Read More »

Stampers Today's card is a hybrid masculine Happy Birthday Card. I wanted a bold look to it with strong robust colors. I decided to use Engrave Greeting Stamp Brush Set: a six-piece stamp brush set including overlays. Love the bold look with the vintage style. I paired it with Nautical Expendition Designer Series Paper from the Summer Mini Catalog and used the colors Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso. The sentiment was… Read More »
