Just Believe

Hi Stampers My post today will be very short because I had my eyes dilated  for an exam and I can barely see.  It's a good thing I made the card before the Optometrist visit!   This card is for next week's Technique Class.  The technique is called  3D Stamping where you create a 3D look by over-stamping your solid image with a slightly darker ink. I'll have all the… Read More »

Embedded Embossing

Hi Stampers Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today's card was made using the embedded embossing techniques that was taught to my ladies on Friday, 12 November 2010.   I've made two other cards using this same technique: I {Heart} Hearts Day of Gratitude Here's the video on how to do the embedded embossing technique: 

I {Heart} Hearts

Hi Stampers  Who doesn't {heart} hearts? Especially the hearts in this delightful set. You'll love them even more when you discover they coordinate with our heart punches! I'm a little tired of Fall and Christmas cards so I decided to make a valentine card for the 2nd card of the New Techniques Class.  If you would like to attend, click here for all the details.  The technique is called inlaid… Read More »

Lovely as a Tree

House of Haunts

Good Morning Stampers  Well, I was a good girl today and decided to stay home and work a little (making up for Wednesday's and Thursday's hooky! (LOL)).  Yes, Lisa – you'r right.   I can't play hooky every day – I don't think my customers would like that!  It's so nice to know that some of my readers actually read my blog.   Love you man!  This card is for Friday's… Read More »
