    Happy Birthday Ryan

    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…

  • One last Christmas card

    Good Morning Stampers! I saved this card for the last because it's my Christmas card for this year and I wanted to make sure that my relatives and friends received this before I posted it to my blog. The DSP is call Christmas Cocoa  and this sheet is gorgeous because it's flocked!  I think I will order…

  • Hi meets Pretty in Pink

    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…

  • Snow Swirled

    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…

  • Thanks!

  • Kaleidoscope

    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…

    Autumn Days

    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…

  • Shabby Chic

    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: …
