Earlier this week I shared a couple of cards with the two-step stampin’ technique using the ‘Bunch of Blossoms’ stamp set. I have a couple of cards today that uses the same stamp set using ‘filler’ stamps to give a more subtle ‘watercolor’ effect, As the stamp set is a photopolymer it is very easy to line up each of the layers – in fact you could even do three layers! The set also has 5 beautiful sentiments in such a pretty font. Continue reading

Happy Valentine’s Day
Approximately 150 million Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged annually, making Valentine’s Day the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas, here is one that I send out for today.
I guess I am a little late posting this today 🙂 but a least it is still Valentine’s Day !
Thank You – swaps
Sale-a-bration started on Jan 4th, one of the first FREE stamp sets on my list was ‘So Very Much’………… cos it says thank you – one of my most favorite phrases! plus I just love the script and the sheer size of the greeting!
Last weekend I went to Michigan to a training conference and the organiser asked all attendees to bring ‘swaps’ , as always this time of year, time is very tight so it had to be a simple project but with plenty of impact.
Its that time of year again – Sale-a-bration time!
