Good Morning Stampers Today's post features a birthday card for our grandson Ryan who lives in Seattle. Usually making a card for a teenage boy can be very difficult but when Stampin' Up! introduced the extreme sports stamps, I knew I had to have all of them. They are perfect for teenagers and even young males in their 20's. I used the Night and Day Designer Series Paper which is retiring today (4… Read More »
Good morning stampers! The Branch Out (one of my favorite) stamp sets is retiring on 4 January 2010. I like that you could use it for every season and it wasn't a stamp set that sat on your shelf until the season it was meant for arrived. But, alas, it is retiring. I have sold quite a few this month so I guessed it's a favorite for many of my… Read More »

I had a last minute request for a teenage boy's birthday card. I decided to use the Extreme Surfboard stamp – I'm extremely happy with the way it came out even though I almost ruined when I stamped Happy Birthday on the upper right hand. Did I save the card? What do you think? I had stamped the Happy Birthday directly on the card and smeared the black ink. … Read More »
I'm still playing with my "My Digital Studio". It is so much fun! I'll have something for you tomorrow (I hope!). Today's card is for my husband's grandson Andrew. The background DSP is such an unlikely choice for a teenager but after seeing Sandy MacIvers' card on SCS, I knew that I would use the same thing. It reminds me of a spot light shinning down on the guitar player. … Read More »
Today's post includes a card that was very easy and quick to make. I used the new Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. I love the colors in it, especially Elegant Eggplant. Today's card doesn't include that color because I wanted to keep it masculine and most men would not want a birthday card that had purple in it! I stamped Happy Birthday (using the stamp-a-ma-jig, of course) on Sahara Sand… Read More »
It's time for another masculine card and I decided to use sketch SSC110 from Stamping411 for today's post. Here's my card I used both Soft Summer which didn't make it into the catalog :-( and Sincere Salutations. I used Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper for the background and added a touch of red around the main image to give it a pop! Thanks for visiting! To Order any of these… Read More »
It's time for another masculine card! Today's card uses the To the Nines DSP and the sentiment Best Wishes from the Sincere Salutation Stamp Set. I've have used the sentiments from this stamp sets over and over again. It is such a versatile stamp set. It can be used for either female or male cards. I'm working on the cards for the Late Night Stampers Blog Tour. Hope you… Read More »
This is it! My last card of the 2009 Spring Summer Idea Book & Catalog. This stamp is also retiring along with the DSP which is Sweet Slumber Specialty. I've announced the winner of my blog candy in the previous post. It's Jessica Kerr so if you know her, let her know. Also, I have some more blog candy (see top of page) to celebrate that my site has been viewed 5,000 in… Read More »
This card is from one of the cards for stamp camp held on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. I always try to have at least one new item/accessory at each stamp camp. This time is was using the crop-a-dile and jumbo eyelets. The card was inspired by one from Mary Fish of Stampin' Pretty. She makes the most amazing masculine cards! Thanks for visiting! To purchase any of these items or… Read More »
