This is definitely one of those "hidden gem" stamp sets. I've made a few cards using several of the images and I can't wait to make more. There are a number of stamps for different occasions in the set. The images are just the cutest and begged to be colored. I colored the berry using my Blends alcohol markers, using Real Red and Old Olive. I used the same design from the card I shared on Friday for this card... the pattern paper as the … [Read more...] about Witty-cisms
Another Round of Thanks
I send all my customers that make a purchase a thank you card. In February, I had a couple customers that made more than one purchase and I didn't want to send them two of the same card. This is the alternate thank you card that I sent out. This card uses the adorable stamp set Witty-cisms. This stamp set was designed by Stampin Up Demonstrator Lisa Fast that achieved $1,000,000 in sales. Designing your own stamp set is one of the perks of … [Read more...] about Another Round of Thanks
February Customer Thank You’s
Even though I was really late sending out my January Thank You's, I managed to get the February Thank You's in the mail at the end of February! Yay, me! Of course, I kept the February Thank You cards relatively simple, because I absolutely loved the way this pattern paper looks. It looks just like acrylic paint on a canvas - just stunning! This is the smaller lily stamp from the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and matching Lily Pad dies. This … [Read more...] about February Customer Thank You’s
Timeless Tulips
Today's card is a make & take from a recent retreat that I worked at. This uses the stamp set Timeless Tulips and coordinating Tulip punch. I love how this card turned out. I used some of the Lily Impressions pattern paper in the background. To color the tulip, I used the baby-wipe technique. This is a fun technique and it turns out different every time. For my Tuilp below, I used Lovely Lipstick, Melon Mambo, and Flirty Flamingo … [Read more...] about Timeless Tulips
Easter Is Around The Corner
We're now half way through March and Easter isn't that far off. No, really. I figured there's no time like the present, getting started on those Easter treats. Today's project is a matchbook treat holder. I couldn't decide what color to use, so I made this in both the blue and the purple. Usually, I make these like a traditional matchbook you see in a restaurant. This time, I made the small side on top. You can see what I mean here … [Read more...] about Easter Is Around The Corner

January Customer Thank You’s
Sending out my monthly thank you cards to my customers is truly one of my favorite tasks. But somehow, I am really, really, really late sending out my thank you cards for January. February is a short month, and it took me nearly the entire month to get them done. Yikes! I wanted to use the Lily Impressions pattern paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog as the background for my card. This paper is so vibrant and bold, that it almost overwhelms … [Read more...] about January Customer Thank You’s
