Boxes to go

Download Card_Boxes_-_General_Instructions Download Card_Boxes_-_Measurements Here's a couple of boxes you may enjoy making.  I've included the directions (made by Jan Farring). Sorry I haven't been posting much but I'm in the middle of packing for the move (we sold our house and we are moving to the west end of Bella Vista) and trying to keep up with my business which includes posting on my customer blog.    

Charming I’m sure!

Hi Stampers This card was inspired by one made by Amy Celona and I loved the simplicity of her card. Her card was pink and white and used the Bordering on Romance Stamp Set. I decided to go for a different color and used the color Perfect Plum and the stamp set called Charming from the 2011/2012 Idea Book & Catalog. The ladies will be making this card at the… 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 »

Digital Elements of Style – another hybrid card

Hi Stampers Today's card was made using My Digital Studio and the Elements of Style Stamp Brush Set.  The stamp brush set has roses and filigree and everything you need to design vintage-themed cards.  The butterfly is from the Flores Suaves Stamp Brush Set.  I also used the Vintage Overlays Stamp Brush Set as a border. Creating that perfect vintage look is easy with the 13 different overlays available in… Read More »

Timeless – Hybrid Card

Hi Stampers Since I make cards to keep on hand for when I need them, I usually do not put a sentiment nor add anything to the inside.  This way, when I need a card for a particular person, I can add tailor at the last minute  and make it more personal. In this case, I was making it especially for my brother Adrian so I added the Happy Birthday and included his… Read More »

Paper Doily goes Shabby Chic

Hi Stampers Today's card features the new gorgeous Paper Doily Sizzlits Die from the Occasions Mini.  This is one of the first things I bought from the Occasions Mini during the preorder period.  I love this doily and its intricate  design – perfect for the Shabby Chic look! The sentiment is from the Timeless Treasurers Stamp Set.  Instead of stamping it, I decided to print it out using Word because I… Read More »

New Techniques Class

Hi Stampers David and I went out to dinner tonight to celebrate the sale of our home.  We ate at Petit Bistro – it's one of the few places where I can order my steak well done and it comes just as juicy as medium or rare!  Yummy!
