Artistic Etchings and latest digital downloads

Hi Stampers  The Artistic Etchings Stamp Set set is available in the clear mount, wood mount and, as I just discovered, available via digital download!  WHOOOHOOO  Or maybe it's an "oh no", since I am trying to cut down on what I buy each month. The Open Sea Stamp Brush Set is from the Summer Mini available as a pre-order for Demonstrators.  I printed out the old word map from that… Read More »

Off we go into the Wild Blue Yonder!

Off we go into the wild blue yonder.  Climbing high into the sun…..  I cannot get that song out of my head!  Today's card features the Plane and Simple Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I sure hope this makes it into the 2011/2012 Idea Book and Catalog because I love the antique images in this set and we have so few masculine stamps.  Whether it's for a birthday… Read More »

One last time

Upsy Daisy the digital way

Hi Stampers  You know sometimes you just don't feel like stamping for whatever reason and that's the best time to use your My Digital Studio.  This was such an easy and quick card to make.   I used the Upsy Daisy Stamp Brush Set – Digital Download for this card.  I love the classic black daisy silhouette and thought it would appropriate for a "man" card.

Masculine Monday – Studio Sketches

Hi Stampers  I know that I said I was tired of the dark colors but I have to make a birthday card for my son-in-law and I thought I would use some of the left over Christmas pattern paper called Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper.  I usually have a lot of DSP left over but in this case I used almost all of it.   For a masculine look,… Read More »

Remember

Hi Stampers:  Definition of REMEMBER (from Merriam-Webster):  to bring to mind or think of again <remembers the old days>.  When I first started making this card, it brought back so many memories of my Grandfather.   Going with him to the trash dump site in his old truck.  Or sneaking out to eat at the local cafe after church.   I'm sure there is an old truck somewhere in your memories.… Read More »

Nature Silhouettes

Good Morning Stampers  Today's card is a masculine card for a very special nephew.  Happy Birthday Tom!  I used the Two-Step Stampin' Nature Silhouettes to create a natural scene.  It can't more masculine than that!  The main image was stamped using the Basic Black Craft Ink pad because I wanted a dark bold look and used the heat gun to speed up the drying time.  After it was dried I… Read More »

Today's card showcases the Stamp Set, Extreme Surfboard and it's for my grandson Tanner who will be 15 on his… Read More »
