I used it with the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paperwhich is also retiring on 30 June 2011. One of the things I love about Stampin' UP! is that everything coordinates! … Read More »

For today's card, I've used this stamp set, the colors Pacific Point and Pear Pizzazz and the technique called the floating reinker technique.

If you are looking for interest, dimension and texture to single layers of card stock, try Stampin' UP!'s beautiful embossing folders. When I first completed this card, I was not happy with it. It just didn't look finished. Then I while I was getting my daily fill… Read More »

The colors in the pears just blended in beautifully. I used… Read More »

I first stamped the image with Jet Black Stazon and then started to color in with the Poppy… Read More »
