Hummingbird Glory

Hummingbird Glory

This was the "simpler" card that we made at the Essex stamp club this month. I went a little crazy with the coloring this month and both of the cards we made required the Stampin' Blends. I was happy to pull out this pretty stamp set and the coordinating dies for this...

Amazing Blooms

I designed this card for the South Burlington stamp club group. I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase a stamp set from the Occasions catalog. I actually received the pretty floral set at the November OnStage event, and this is the first time that I inked it up....

Cupcake Fun!

This was the more involved card that the South Burlington stamp club made this month. The picture is a little deceptive, but we used a new technique for this card. When you look at the photo, it isn't obvious what is going on. First, we used the Stamparatus to stamp...

A Hug and a Kiss

A Hug and a Kiss

I was feeling a little out of sorts in the post-Christmas blues, and my crafting mojo had left me. I wanted to work on a class for Valentine's Day, but I just wasn't feeling it. I was messaging with a demonstrator friend who was in a similar mind-set and she suggested...

Love on Repeat

Love on Repeat

This was the first card that the Essex stamp club made earlier this month. One of the members had asked for some time to learn more about the Stamparatus, so I designed this card to teach the group about the hinge technique, which is unique to this particular stamp...
