1st Annual Guess Which Stamp Sets Are Retiring! When I was with the other company, I held a yearly contest to see which of you could guess which stamp sets would retire from the annual catalog. I decided to continue this with Fun Stampers Journey. Our new catalog is due out on 1 July 2018 with lots of new gorgeous stamp sets. That means we will be retiring some of… Read More »
Did I tell you I absolutely love the Love Life Stamp Set from the April 2018 Bloom Box? I usually don’t make all the cards in the bloom box kits I receive, but in this case, I’m making every card because they are all gorgeous! Today’s flower is the Petunia. The image was colored in using Lavender Splash Ink for the flowers and Limeade Splash for the leaves. I used… Read More »
Today’s post features card #2 in the April Bloom Box. The stamp set is called Love Life and it is simply gorgeous! I pretty much followed the directions in the card instructions but I think I flicked the Bubble Gum Silk a little to hard and made a couple of large splatters. It’s mainly the splatters on the Journey Vellum that are bothering me. What do you think? The flowers… Read More »
This is one of the cards from the April Bloom Box. The stamp set is called Love Life and it is absolutely gorgeous! I made the card per the instructions in the pamphlet we get with each bloom box except for a couple of things. You know me – I can’t case a card perfectly – I always have to change something here or there. I stamped the double daisy… Read More »
Today’s card features the Spring Botanicals Bundle. This is such a beautiful stamp set and what makes it better is that it has a coordinating die!!! I haven’t made a shaker card in a long, long time and it was fun making this one. I used the Bubble Gum Silk for the background. The silks are on sale this month for 20% off reg price. It’s a good way to… Read More »
Oh no, we got snow last night!!! I hope that’s the end of it because it is Spring after all (ha, ha). For today’s post, I used the A Better Place Stamp Set from the new gorgeous Creating Life’s Memories Mini Catalog. The whole stamp set is gorgeous! I stamped the globe with Pool Play Ink and colored in the land areas with the Electric Lime Reinker, a Blending Brush… Read More »

Today is day 3 of the FSJ Launch Party. For today’s card, I used the Good Karma Stamp Set from the Creating Life’s Memories Mini Catalog. Ella, the elephant (my name for her) was stamped with River Stone Ink Pad on Whip Cream Card Stock. I then used the colors, Lemon Drop, Sweet Berry, Pretty Pansy and Green Olive for the flowers and hat/scarf on Ella. I used the Vintage… Read More »

Yes the Dogwoods have started blooming and they are so pretty. We have a lot of them in the woods around us. I started working on this card last year and put it aside. In cleaning my craft room this month, I found it and finished it. It’s a digital file (can’t remember where I got it). I printed it out on Oatmeal Cookie and then colored it using the… Read More »
