I receive the A Merry Hello Stamp Set from my fantastic upline, Brian, for a team challenge. It’s a Host Stamp Set so it’s only available with Host Rewards which can be earned with a qualifying order. The images were stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Two of the Christmas stockings were paper-pieced using the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. This DSP is on sale right now… Read More »
For today’s post, I’m using the Snowman Season Stamp Set. The snowmen in this stamp set will delight and warm your heart – they are so cute! There is also a coordinating punch which you can use to customize your snowman. I started by stamping the snowman with Basic Gray on Whisper White Cardstock. I colored in the cap and scarf with the Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, the nose… Read More »
Today’s post features the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set. There is a coordinating die ( that is $15.60 – reg price is $39.00) on the retiring list. So if you have the stamp set, you may want to get the dies before they are gone. Die cut a window sheet (4″ x 5 1/4″) with a Layering Squares Die to use as template for the sponging. Place it over a… Read More »
Today is my son, Louie’s, birthday. He would have been 55 years old – he died in 1995. After we moved to Arkansas, he enjoyed his frequent visits here and said he would come and live here to be near me. When Stampin’ Up! came up with the image of the little farm boy in the Heartland Stamp Set, I knew I would buy this set and always keep it.… Read More »
The Sail Away Stamp Set reminds me so much of when David and I would sail between Oxnard Harbor and the Channel Islands. Usually it would be a weekend trip (spend the night at one of the coves in the islands) but sometimes we would spend one week sailing around the Channel Islands. Best time of my life! This stamp set is part of the Come Sail Away Suite Bundle.… Read More »
Show the good men in your life how much you appreciate them with a handmade, heartfelt card or gift you make using the A Good Man Stamp Set. Great for Father’s Day, birthdays, or any day you want to recognize and celebrate your men. The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock. I lightly sponged the background (sky) using the Balmy Blue Ink Pad to… Read More »
Today’s card features a card for my grandson David’s birthday. He is turning 21 years old! It’s not an SU image but I did use SU products on it. For my close relatives I always try and use an image that means something to them. If SU doesn’t carry something I can use, I find it elsewhere. In this case, David’s first car was Navy Blue Mustang. He totaled it… Read More »
Today’s card features the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set. It was created in response to our team color challenge. It was a quick and easy card and perfect to use as a masculine card. Because those are so hard to make – right? The leaf images were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink (2 sets, one set stamped off), Old Olive Ink and Granny Apple Green Ink. The smallest leaves were… Read More »
Today’s card is for my grandson, Troy. He is not a sailor but Ventura is right at the ocean in California so I thought the sailor theme would be appropriate. When they are young (over 18 but under 30), you just don’t know what they really like! I used the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper for the banner and background panel. The banner was generated using the retired Thank… Read More »
