Good Morning Stampers I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We had a white Christmas (first time for us!) and since it was only about one inch, the sun came out today and melted the snow. But it was beautiful while it lasted. I thought I would get a head start on the holiday thank you notes. Even though Christmas is over I am still able to get some use… Read More »

Good Morning stampers This card was made for Techno Stamper Challenge TSSC100. The Hi Embosslit Die (which is on sale until 22 Dec) is the main focal point on this card. First, I embossed Whisper White card stock using the Hi Embosslit Die and then brayered it with Pretty in Pink Classic Ink. The raised surfaces picked up the ink to give a shabby chic look. I used the Finial Press Textured impressions Embossing Folder… Read More »
Today's card is for Splitcoast Stampers Friday's LSC249. The challenge is to create a white Christmas card. I might have cheated a bit because it called for only white or clear embellishments and I used the gold elastic cord! Oh well… Another of my favorite type of cards – quick, clean and simple! I stamped the image using the Encore Gold and then used the heat tool to hasten the… Read More »

Not the sad kind but the kind where I seem to be making card with blue themes. Really, blue is a calming color and with all the hectic pace that the… Read More »

This card was cased from Heather Pulvirenti of Clean & Simple. She used a Fisker's punch called Upper Crest Punch and I knew I could duplicate that look using our Curly Label Punch. The paper is from Kaleidoscope Designer Series paper. It's late and I want to go to bed – I'll the card directions and supplies on the blog tomorrow. 10/30 update: Download a printer friendly version of the supplies… Read More »
I bet when I told you I was working on an Autumn Days card, you thought I was working on a fall or Autumn card. Surprise! Here's the one I was working on: I decided to go for the bold look and picked the colors Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede. Are they pretty together? The DSP is Thoroughly Modern and the stamp set is Autumn Days. The ribbon is the Bermuda… Read More »
I'm really happy with the way this card came out. I tried using the Medallion background stamp before and I wasn't too happy with the results. Then one of my readers (Thanks Jeanealogist!) recommended I emboss it. I tried it and I like. Tell me what you think of my card. Layer 1: Base Card (Naturals Ivory) Cut to 5 1/2 x 11. Scored and folded in half… Read More »

I am beginning to love this type of card because they are so easy and quick to make. For the flower and scrolls, I used the Lovely Flower Rub-on's from the Lovely Flowers Bundle, Hostess Level… Read More »
