Thank You Bee
I created several of this card to include with the orders for the guests at a recent party held by a friend. I used a Post-It to give my wishes to the recipient so that they could re-use the card if they wanted. This is a great trick that you can do when sending a...
Dragonfly Beauty
The other day I shared this card with this watercolor background technique. That card had a large embossed greeting highlighted with the watercolor wash I created with the ink refills. This time I used the beautiful dragonfly image from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set....
That Saying Again
Recently I posted a card with a really large image of "Live Laugh Love", and here we have those words again, in a smaller form with more text. This greeting is part of a go-juss artistic stamp set called "Beautiful You"; there are many useful greetings in the set...
Sunburst Birthday
This is the second card that we made at a party I put together for a friend in March. She was interested in the tag bundle from the Occasions catalog, so I got to work designing this card. This was actually a pretty quick and easy card, and the guests seemed to enjoy...
Retirement 2017
It's that time of year again - the retirement list has come out and the purchasing frenzy is on! Stampin' Up! actually released the retirement list on Monday, but I was vacationing in beautiful Savannah Georgia so I'm a bit delayed in getting the word...
Happy Kites
I created this for the March meeting of the Essex stamp club. This was the second card of the evening, and I thought it would be the simpler one of the two. The first one was the sunburst card that I shared recently. As it turned out, they thought that this card was...
Fabulous Friend
As this post hits the internet, I'm busy enjoying a day of stamping fun at a Stampin' Up! event called "OnStage". I attended the very first one of these specific events a year and a half ago in Baltimore - this time I've traveled to Savannah Georgia. I'm hanging out...
Watercolor Background Greeting
I created this card for my South Burlington stamp club gals for our March gathering. They were all wondering why I asked them to bring a cutting board to club, and they weren't sure what I meant - actual kitchen cutting board, or a paper crafting cutting mat....
Pretty Boxes
I created these two cute little gift boxes for a recent stamping workshop that I held for a friend. I found directions on the inter-webz on the blog of an amazing demonstrator from the UK (here is the blog post she shared). She used her creation to hold some jumbo tea...
Blue-ish Sunburst
I decided to revisit the sunburst technique to show these papers off to the Essex stamp club ladies. A couple of years ago I was quite enamored with this look and shared a few cards here. This stamp club started up at the beginning of this year, so I can dip into my...
