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...
Valentine’s Reveal
I hope that you've been enjoying my recent posts where I've been sharing the bits and pieces of this sampler. I've been seeing these show up in various stamping blogs and social media, and with a nudge from a stamping friend, I decided to give it a try. Each section...
Building the Foundation
All those pieces of art that I've been creating need to go somewhere, so I had to make a pretty spot to hold them. My frame that this is going in is 12" x 12", which is perfect for a full sheet of DSP. I added some cardstock layers and some lacy diecuts on the edges...
Hearts Abound
This post features the last two sections in my sampler project. This image is the one and only piece that clearly makes it a Valentine's Day creation. Of course, the colors I used and the plethora of hearts and messages of love makes it pretty obvious it is a...
Laser Focused Class
I'm super excited to announce that I'm offering a class featuring products from the Delightfully Detailed suite from the annual catalog. I purchased these materials shortly after the annual catalog came out (oh so many months ago), and I just got around to playing...
So Much Love
I hope that these posts are piquing your interest in creating your own sampler. This project was my first attempt, and I had so much fun! The "Live Laugh Love" section was the last piece that I created for my sampler. I wanted this piece to be a bit more involved but...
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
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...
