Ribbon Thoughts
I have known far too many people that should have received this card. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when our son was 18 months old. Thankfully, after surgery and chemotherapy she was declared cancer free 5 years later. But it was a tough fight. I have...
Bright Wishes
I had a lot of fun playing with some items from the Eastern Palace Suite when I created this card. I mainly used the colors in this panel of the pretty DSP in the coordinating paper and added Soft Sky flower diecuts to tone it down a little bit. This is actually a...
You have a friend
I created this pretty card using a new stamp set from the big catalog that started in June. I absolutely LOVE the gorgeous, extra large sentiments that are part of this set. This card is all about the stamping - there are no other embellishments on here. I wanted the...
For Becky
I received the new catalog when I was at the Savannah On Stage event back in April. After they handed out the catalogs, they gave us a few minutes to pore through it and ooh and ahh over all the new things. Every so often you would hear an outburst when someone...
Black-eyed Susan
I created a few of these cards a couple of weeks ago so that I could send Thank you notes to some people that had recently placed orders with me. A few years ago I used a stamp/punch combo to create some black-eyed Susan flowers and I thought it would be great to do...
Happy Birthday Colin Hay
Colin Hay and the group Men at Work was part of the music soundtrack of my youth. Yes - I do know that I'm showing my age here. I fondly remember listening to "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" while I was hanging out in my room working on homework. I also...
Summery Seashells
This was the more involved card that we made at the June session for the Essex stamp club. I wanted to tech these ladies about the masking technique so that they would have it in their papercrafting "toolbox". Also, I wanted to create a summery card since we were...
Product Share 2017
While I was preparing for the Open House event last Friday, I decided that I would put together some ribbon shares this year. I haven't offered them for a couple of years, but I decided to get off my duff and offer them again this year. "What is a ribbon...
Prince George Birthday
I'm a bit early with my celebration of Prince George's birthday - his special day is actually on July 22nd. But isn't this just the perfect card to give a child to help celebrate their special day? The cute characters on the stamps and the coordinating Designer Series...
Lemon-y Greeting
We had the Essex stamp club meeting last evening, and I was super-excited to showcase a few new items from the shiny new catalog. This card that you see here was the easier project of the two for the evening. The most challenging part ended up being punching out the...
