Peace Within

Here's the tutorial for the Top Note Box showcased during the Royal Blog Tour.  I used the pizza box tutorial found on Splitcoast Stampers and tailored it to fit the top note die cut.  The box on the SCS tutorial was 4" x 4" – this box is 5" x 4".

Template for Corset

There's a problem with printing my file for the template for the corset.  This is where I found the template Stampington.com .  All you have to do is right click and print.  It will print out to the perfect size

Oh la la

I saw a card by  Kayleen Clements using a corset template a couple of weeks ago and knew I would be making it as soon as I could.  Here it is. I used the  Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper for the corset because I liked the pattern.  I used the oval scallop punch (cut in half) for the frills at the bust line and the legs.  To get the holes even… Read More »

With Sympathy

Today's card came about because of two things:  (1) needed to come up with cards for this month's stamp camp which will consist of sympathy cards.  We all need them but are not usually in a mood to make them when we really need them! and (2) I decided to join in on the late night stampers challenge #31 which is to  make a monochromatic card.   When I think… Read More »

Here's my card  I used both Soft Summer which didn't make it into the catalog :-(  and Sincere Salutations.   I used Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper for the background and added a touch of red around the main image to give it a pop!

Always Embrace Life

Hey what a neat saying from the titles of two stamp sets.  I usually put the title of the stamp set as the title of the post and I like this!  It's a philosophy we should all live by.
