Field of Flowers ~ Always …

Leave a comment

Welcome back to my corner of the world

If you are looking for a really versatile stamp set you cannot go wrong with  Field of Flowers, I just love the big ‘ALWAYS…..” then to use one of the other greetings to personalize your exact sentiment.  There are 7 of them – Thinking of You, In my Heart, My Friend, Love, to name a few.  I chose to use ‘my friend’ on the inside of this card.

There is  the coordinating Confetti Flowers Border Punch, which I used to decorate the bottom edge of my card today. …….. and guess what ? this stamp set and punch are available as a 10% off bundle!

Misty Moonlight Monochrome – Sweet and Simple Panel Card

Leave a comment

Welcome back to my corner of the world

When Stampin’ UP! gave us a heads up on the new 2020 – 2022 In-colors I knew that Misty Moonlight would be my favorite!  For a start off its blue ~ I love blue, next it is a nice soft medium dark blue – which works in so well with the other blues in the SU family.

Today’s card is another in my Sweet and Simple series where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal!  I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool  – which is my Paper Trimmer.

Stampin’ UP! Joining Offer

Welcome back to my corner of the world

I joined Stampin’ UP! as a demontrator in November 2010 – it was one of the best decisions I made.  It allowed me to express my creativity using high quality, coordinating products.  It has also allowed me  to meet new people with whom I have become friends.

I believe in sharing what I do and introducing people to card crafting and seeing the joy on their face when they create their first card.  I chose to develop a business for myself but that is not a requirement, read on for some more information 🙂

Cling Stamps V’s Photopolymer – Video Tutorial

2 Comments

Welcome back to my corner of the world

I was asked the other day what the difference was between ‘Cling’ stamps and ‘Photopolymer’ Stamps – and that is a very good question.  After nearly 10 years as an SU demo I tend to forget there are folks that are new to this wonderful craft!

Basically they each do the same job – produces beautiful images for your crafting delight, they are made from different materials you just handled them a little differently. So today’s post explains how to handle them, attach labels, attach to acrylic blocks and keep them clean.

Positive Thoughts – inspired by a scarf!

Leave a comment

Welcome back to my corner of the world

Welcome to June! I often share where my inspiration comes from – today my color combination is from a scarf  I wear as an accent during the winter months (too hot to wear scarves during North Texas summer months) I was putting it on one day and recognized Petal Pink then Smoky Slate and so today’s card was born!

I have used a  very simple, asymmetric, fold that showcases the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set along with the stunning Petal Pink Organdy Stripped Ribbon which made me fall in love with Petal Pink in the first place!
