Happy Birthday David

Hi Stampin' Friends It seems that for the first couple of months each year, I'm making birthday cards almost every day!  Today's card is for my hubby David.

I cased this card from Nancy Riley and I love it for its simpicity.  All the squares are retired designer series paper but it is still available on the… Read More »

Thought you might be interested in what type of blog to use (if you are blogging)! ~~Rachel Hi everyone,  Just back from three days on the road and catching up on this thread.  Figured I'd address several points:  First, you have to ask yourself why you have a blog in the first place.  For many stamping business owners, their blogs are more about personal sharing, and allowing other Demos to… Read More »

Swallowtail

Hi Stampin' Friends The Swallowtail Clear Mount Stamp is a gorgeous plus size butterfly. It's absolutely gorgeous when colored in and I hated to cut off part of the wings to make it fit the card.   The image was stamped with Versamark on Naturals White Card Stock.  It was then embossed with the Black Stampin' Emboss Powder and set with the Heat Tool. The butterfly was then colored in… Read More »

The Open Sea – Masculine Monday

Hi Stampin' Friends Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  My husband is off skiing so I'm enjoying a couple of days by myself! This card is for my son-in-law Gary who lives out in California.  He has a beautiful view of the ocean from his house so I thought using the Open Sea Stamp Brush Set on his card would be perfect! The image was printed on Very Vanilla Card… Read More »
