Not a lot of ‘stampin’ in today’s card, but lots of fun with ink! The new Jan – June 2022 Mini catalog has the Butterflies and flowers Layering Decorative Masks – which are basically stencils. I give a quick overview of the 6 that are the pack in my video which focusses on the butterfly sheets. It was such fun to work with these and I am sure I will have some other samples to share with you over the coming weeks.
Continue readingOne of the new stamp sets in the 2022 Jan – June mini catalog is Amazing Silhouettes – it has three stamps that produce beautiful silhouetted images. My card today features one of them, without any greeting so that it can be used for just about any occasion – I like to have a few of these in my stash so if needed I can be ready!

Continue readingToday’s card showcases the new Blessings of Home Stamp Set with the whitewash technique. It uses the Copper Embossing Powder and ink refills to create this very feminine birthday card.
It is very relaxing to do a little watercoloring, I have included a video to help explain things a little better 🙂
Continue readingIt is hard to believe this is my last post for 2021 – the year has simply flown by despite all the ‘issues’ we have all experienced!
I have chosen to use a the Tidings of Christmas Designer Paper to create a ‘Just Because’ card today. This paper is in the Annual Catalog and available year round, and although Christmas 2021 is behind us I wanted to use it for something other than a Christmas card (although you could add a Christmas greeting and it would work very well)
Continue readingTime for a card for the guys in our lives – I am not very good at these so when one pops into my head I grab it very quickly before it fades away! I used the Mountain Air Stamp set paired with the Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper which has lots of ‘leafy’ designs to go along with the trees and mountains in the stamp set.
Continue readingI hope you all had a peaceful Christmas yesterday. We have been so focused on the Christmas holiday, but other occasions do happen around this time of year. Our son and daughter-in-law celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary a few days before Christmas, today I share the card we sent them.
I used one of the new stamp sets from the 2022 January – June Mini Catalog – Eden’s Garden – for their card which I am sharing today.
Continue readingThe First Noel is probably my favorite Christmas Carol, the Happy Holly Days Stamp set has a greeting that simply says ‘NOEL’ so I have paired it with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder for today’s card.
This is an asymmetric card – the front is slightly shorter than the back – which allowed another of the greetings from the set to peep thru while the card is still closed.
Continue readingJust wanted to share a couple more Christmas Cards over the next few days – I designed about 15 of them this year for various classes and each of them need to be ‘shared with world’ 🙂
Today’s card uses the Festive Foliage Background Stamp with the Stamparatus, some nice traditional Christmas colors, a luxurious bow and a few gold Metallic Pearls.
Continue readingI have used the Forever Fern Stamp Set such a lot – I love those leaves and there are some lovely greetings to go along with them. Today I have paired it with the Bloom Where You’re Planted Decorative Paper, which itself has lots of leafy designs that work well with the stamps.
The ‘to a friend that makes me smile’ greeting is just so lovely – it can work for a birthday, thinking of you, get well or just because card – it just covers a host of different occasions.
