I'm listed on the right… Read More »
When I started working on my card for today I had an entirely different card in mind. That card included Dreams Du Jour. But somewhere along the way it came out differently – it has the same color scheme and the same pattern paper but this card does not resemble what I had in mind. Has that every happen to you? I'll have to make that card because if I… Read More »

Today's card uses one of the bigz dies (Flower, Daisy #2). I really like this die especially when used with the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. This paper is so beautiful with the colors Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Basic Gray I used So Saffron, Almost Amethyst and Tea Party DSP to made the flower. Then layered them alternating the Almost Amethyst, So Saffron and… Read More »

I am so sorry but I've been neglecting this blog and you! I've been so busy with a group I recently joined called Business Stampers Coaching Group. I'll try to do a lot better in the future. I received this stamp a couple of weeks ago and have been aching to try it out. I think it's one of the prettiest flowers in a vase stamp I've seen in a… Read More »
Today's card uses a technique I saw in the latest issue of Stampin' Success (June 2009) called designer embossing. Basically, you emboss on designer paper instead of card stock. I used Old Olive Craft Ink and Clear Embossing Powder on Holiday Treasures Designer Series Paper. TIP: Choose large images to emboss. Small embossed images on a busy DSP may add a little more zing than you want! Recipe: Stamp Set: … Read More »

We are now calling the retired list the last chance list–because it your last chance to buy these wonderful products. In celebration of the retired list, I am holding a contest to see who can guess which stamp sets are retiring. The person with the… Read More »
I thought I'd make a card without the designer series paper (gasp!!!). Yesterday when I was playing around with spritzing the card stock with water before feeding it through the texturz plates and Big Shot, I made one using the scrolls plate from the Texturz Backgrounds #1. As you can see it came out really nice! Or at least I hope you think it came out nice! After the card… Read More »
