Today's post includes a card that was very easy and quick to make. I used the new Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper. I love the colors in it, especially Elegant Eggplant. Today's card doesn't include that color because I wanted to keep it masculine and most men would not want a birthday card that had purple in it! I stamped Happy Birthday (using the stamp-a-ma-jig, of course) on Sahara Sand… Read More »

Today's card is called Arte Oriental. The English name of the stamp set is Asian Artistry but when I ordered it from Stampin' Up! during the preview I inadvertently order the Spanish version. And since I had used the images several times before I noticed my mistake, I could not return it. The photograph of the card is a little different than my usual. I usually try and take the… Read More »

After I colored in the images and it was dry, I stamped all over using the Itty Bitty Backgrounds in Whisper White Craft Ink. I… Read More »

Today's card is for my Christmas in July class on 2 September 2009. This card is cased from the catalog (page 35). I changed a couple of things, i.e., ribbon is different and the sentiment is a different color than the trees. At the Christmas… Read More »
