Adios to Animal Stories

Hi Stampers  I don't buy very much cute or baby stamps because frankly most of my kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews are either too old for kids or too young!  But this is an exception because I love the bold images in the Animal Stories Stamp Set.  But, alas, it will be retiring on 30 June 2011 so if you like the look of the bold images in the stamp… Read More »

Thoughts and Prayers

Hi Stampers   Today's card features the Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set.  I love the two graceful, calming nature images and sentiments that are in this set.  A very simple and quick card to make.  The image and sentiment were stamped on Very Vanilla Card Stock using the Baja Beeze Classic ink pad.  I embossed a line all around the card about 1/4" inch from the edge and let them… Read More »

Pretty Postage – sneak peek!

Hi Stampers  I received my Summer Mini Catalog supplies this afternoon and have been playing with them.  One of the stamp sets I received, the Pretty Postage, is so cute!  These cards are convenient to keep on hand for writing those quick notes.  Each one measures 3" x 3" and fit the Mini Whisper White Square Envelopes (3 1/8" x 3 1/8") found in page 171 of the 2010/2011 Idea Book and… Read More »

Friends 24/7

Hi Stampers    When Friends 24/7 first came out, it was my main go to set but I've neglected it lately and thought I would use it for the New Techniques Class scheduled for 1 April 2011.  If you want to participate in this class, you need to register by 25 March 2011.  Click here for all the details.  This set is part of the Shelli Signature Collection, and coordinates with… Read More »

Elizabeth

Hi Stampers   This delicately ornate image will set a lovely tone on invitations, place settings, favors, and anything you create. Isn't this image lovely?  It's the Elizabeth Stamp from the a la carte section (Page 18) of the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog.  It's always available as a digital download (#124455)! It's the 4th and last  card the ladies will be making at stamp camp on Friday, 11 March… Read More »

Thoughts and Prayers

Hi Stampers Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  It's beautiful in our area right now with the leaves starting to turn.  And it's also a great weekend because Arkansas won – GO HOGS!   For today's card, I used two stamp sets, French Foliage for the leaf and Thoughts and Prayers for the sentiment.  I was trying for a simple, yet elegant card.  The leaf was stamped with Whisper White Craft… Read More »

Simple Sunday

Hi Stampers I made this card for a customer and wanted to keep it simple yet pretty.  I love this designer series paper and depending on what sheet you use, you get a total different look!  And I love that the craft tote and laptop bags, available at the last convention, are made out of the same DSP. I'm on my way back from the regional seminar and I'll have pictures… Read More »

Studio Sketches

Hi Stampers The Studio Sketches Stamp Set is the perfect stamp for a sophisticated yet simple handmade greeting card.  I love the still life art inspirations of this set!  Today's card is one of the cards that the ladies will be making at stamp camp scheduled for Friday, 17 September 2010 at my home.  Isn't this ribbon gorgeous??? I currently have a couple of spots left on the 1 1/4… Read More »

Simple Sunday

Good Morning Stampers Today's card is a very simple card I made for one of my customers.  I used the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper as the main focal point and the Whisper White 5/8 Satin Ribbon added a soft touch of elegance.  Instead of using one sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, I'm including 4 different ones and I'll let her select which one she want to use for… Read More »

For You

Good Morning Stampers Today's card was cased from Ducia Smith on Stampin' Connection.  Stampin' Connectionis an exclusive online community designed for Stampin' Up! demonstrators  and it has so many gorgeous examples of cards, scrapbook pages and 3D projects! I used the Elements of Style stamp set with the Lovely Letters stamp set to make a couple of monogram cards.  Full of refined images of vintage blooms, birds and flourishes, this stamp set  is aptly… Read More »
