It’s Victoria again!

Hi Stampers  This image is from the Greeting Card Kids Stamp Brush Set Digital Download.  I mentioned that my granddaughter loves this stamp set and named the little girl with the valentine Victoria.  I have the actual stamp set but I also have the digital download and what I like about this is that I can re-size it which I did in this case.   I was going to paper piece her… Read More »

Masculine Monday – Studio Sketches

Hi Stampers  I know that I said I was tired of the dark colors but I have to make a birthday card for my son-in-law and I thought I would use some of the left over Christmas pattern paper called Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper.  I usually have a lot of DSP left over but in this case I used almost all of it.   For a masculine look,… Read More »

Deck the Halls

Hi Stampers I finally got started on my Christmas Cards.  I decided to keep them simple and used the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper.  I loved this DSP which has some of my favorite vintage classic images such as boughs of holly, poinsettias and musical notes.  I plan on making 100 of these and in the mail by the 15th of the month!  And I can do it because I have… Read More »

Tags Til Christmas

 Hi Stampers I must be in a vintage mood – it seems everything I've made lately has been the vintage type.  I hope you are not getting tired of them.  Even though this set is specifically for tags, I thought I would make a card with it.  I used Bravo Burgundy Card Stock with the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper instead of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock.  The lace is our… Read More »

Welcome Home

Good Morning Stampers I think that Cherry Cobbler is going to be my "go to" color for Christmas.  I love it when paired with Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla.  For today's card I used the Welcome Christmas Stamp Set.  Favorite scenes of Christmas in silhouette—decorating the tree, discovering stocking stuffers, and sledding through a winter wonderland—are just a few of the highlights of this set.   The main image was stamped… Read More »

With a song in my heart

Good morning stampers As I was making this card, the song "With a song in my heart" kept going through my mind.  I don't even remember who sang it!  So I decided to use the title as the  sentiment on my card.    I did not use a stamp set with this card but used the Newsprint Designer Series Paper as the main focal point.  The gorgeous ribbon is called Rich… Read More »
