Hi Stampin' Friends Wisteria Wonder is a beautiful color and I decided to use it for today's card. When I was browsing through the different blogs I follow, I came across a card by Vicki Birdick that I had to case. She does amazing work! It was also another excuse to play with my new toy called Mini Rolled Roses Die-namics. I love making the miniature roses with this thing… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends Today's post features the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper but it's not a Christmas card! I just like the bold colors in it and wanted to use it for today's card. Besides it coordinates perfectly with the gorgeous new 3 1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon (page 4 of the Holiday Catalog). Remember I was working on some flowers using a Die-namics Mini Rolled Roses Die. I was… Read More »

I used the Sassy Salutation Stamp Brush… Read More »

How Can I Sell Product At Full Price When There's So Much Discounted Product? In response to yesterday's post about not having to give away the farm, I received the following question from Jan: I became a catalog demonstrator of stamps because I wanted the discount for myself and because I loved the product. I'm a hobby demonstrator thinking about delving into the business side…But, in all honesty, there are… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends I am having so much fun with the MDS 2! I downloaded the free 30 day trial of the MDS2 #130910. I know I'm buying the upgrade but I thought I would play around with it first. I'm coloring in the little girl in the witch's customes from Greeting Card Kids. Did you see yesterday's card using the two little kids from the same set? Click here if… Read More »
Can I Sell Stamps Without Giving Myself Away? Over the past few weeks, I've received several emails from stamping business owners expressing the same concern: Does a stamping business owner have to give everything away (their time, their classes, their profit, etc.) in order to sell catalog product? The answer… absolutely not! While there's certainly been a push toward this sort of "marketing" lately, I believe it's one of the… Read More »

This card features the loveable, darling Greeting Card Kids Clear Mount Stamp Set. The cutesy images in this set seem to jump right off the pages of vintage storybooks. You can recreate the mood of… Read More »
Hi Stampin' Friends Well, I over did it this time. I was trying for the shabby chic look and it took me several hours to get it right. Usually I can made a card in about an hour (from design to finish) but I keep changing things around on this one. I used the Tea Shoppe Clear Mount Stamp Set for this card. Whatever your tea preference, this delightful, vintage-inspired… Read More »
