Hello Everyone, Looking out my windows I see signs of Spring everywhere! We've had our first daffodils and crocuses bloom. My cherry tree is full of blossoms and the world looks lovely! It's such a nice sight in these very uncertain times when the world seems so upside down. To celebrate all these lovely flowers I pulled out a stamp set I've been wanting to use for awhile, Reverse Confetti's Peony stamp set. Images For this card, I wanted to create something dramatic so I decided I would ...
Hi Everyone, Today, I wanted to share a happy card featuring one of Whimsy Stamps beautiful mermaid stamp sets. I really love their mermaid stamps including this lovely stamp set, Naia the Mermaid.

Image I stamped Naia onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using VersaFine Clair's Nocturne ink and then embossed her with Hero Arts' ...
Hi Everyone, Awhile ago Lawn Fawn came out with the adorable Magic Color Slider interactive die set and while cute I didn't see myself using it often. However, the more and more I thought about it I realized it would be fun to create an extended scene using this interactive die. So, today I'm sharing a card I made doing exactly that. Images Lawn Fawn's Toadally Awesome stamp set is so darling and I think it makes the cutest spring and summer themed cards. For today's card, I stamped every ...

Hi Everyone, Flowers just make me happy, in real life and as stamp sets too, and Altenew makes some of the most beautiful. So, not surprisingly I feel head over heels in love with Altenew's Dainty Bouquet stamp set. Image and Inks Since this is a layering stamp set I started by selecting what colors of inks I wanted to use. For this image, I selected: Altenew's Silver Lake, Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Mountain Mist, and Volcanic Lake. After selecting the ink colors I followed the directions ...
Hi All, I absolutely love Christmas stamp sets but some years I just can't make enough cards in time to use all these cute stamps. This year I was pretty under-the-weather for all of December so I didn't get a chance to really make cards at all and one of my favorite stamps sets, Newton's Nook Designs' Festive Fawns, went unused. That is, until January when I created post-holiday Thank You cards. Images All of the cards below feature images from the Festive Fawns stamp set - sooo cute! I ...

As I mentioned a few weeks ago I always need Thank You cards especially after the holidays, so, today I wanted to feature the adorable Newton's Nook Designs' Frosty Folks stamp set. Isn't it so darn cute?! Image I started by stamping the image onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts' Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder. To color the ...
Hi Everyone, I love floral images and last year Concord & 9th's Fine Line Florals stole my heart. Not only is this a beautiful image but I absolutely love that you can use the coordinating solid images for adding quick color. What I love even more is that the solid images are not fully solid but instead have very fine lines which gives the flowers a beautiful texture. Image and Coloring To start I stamped the main flower cluster twice onto Neenah Solar White, 80 lb, cardstock using Lawn ...
Hi Everyone, I don't know about you, but at the start of every new year I need a whole lot of Birthday and Thank You cards. Throughout the year I like to make other types of cards too but when January rolls around I know these two types are by far the ones I need the most. So, with that in mind I thought I'd post my first birthday card for 2020. Images For this lovely card I decided to pull out the Pretty Pink Posh Anemones stamp set - isn't it beautiful? I can't believe I haven't used it ...
