Happy Birthday Monica

Hi Stampin' Friends So how many of your stamp sets are retiring?  I didn't do too bad – only 33 of mine are retiring.  I was so glad to see that Lovely as a Tree is staying and I think it will be available in clear mount in the next catalog!  I'm sorry to see Sincere Salutations go but I've started using the My Digital Studio more and more for… Read More »

Digital Elements of Style

Hi Stampers Usually when I print out a digital image, I make a couple of extra copies to have on hand when I'm pressed for time and I want to make a card.  I made this card a couple of weeks ago and colored it in blues and greens. I decided to use the same image but used much brighter colors such as  Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz.  I also added… Read More »

Masculine Monday

Hi Stampers!

Works beautifully with vintage, retro, or masculine projects. Nostalgic images include a bicycle, telephone, and vintage car which you can see faintly in the background. The background pattern paper is called Well Worn Designer Series… Read More »

Motorcycle – another birthday card!

Hi Stampers Today's card features the Motorcycle Stamp Brush Set.  Though the wood mount Motorcycle Stamp has retired, the digital downloads do not retire!  Or at least, Stampin' Up! has not made any plans to retire any of them as yet.  So, I've made it point to purchase the digital images even if I have the clear mount stamp set.  That way, I can use it long after the clear/wood mount stamp… Read More »
