One of my favorite Suites from the new Catalog is the Tea Boutique Suite. I love the stamp set with the matching dies, and the adorable pattern paper. The pattern paper is a 6x6" pad. The patterns on the 6x6" paper are reduced down, which is perfect for card-making. The finished card is 4.25" x 4.5". I started out with a standard card size of 4.25" x 5.5". Then I scored the bottom 1" up. On the right side, I trimmed off the card stock at … [Read more...] about Cup of Tea

Sweet Songbirds
Happy Monday! They say the early bird gets the worm. This sweet little songbird is singing a happy tune. I don't know if it's because he got the worm or if he's just happy to be singing on his branch. I love the In Color Glimmer paper. I love that it has an ombre pattern with the light to dark. For my bird, I was able to punch out the belly in the lighter shade of the Sweet Sorbet to match the body in the darker Sweet Sorbet. I used my … [Read more...] about Sweet Songbirds
Happy Fri-YAY!
I don't know what it is, but I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Some weeks are just like that. My daughter is coming home from college to celebrate her big brother's graduation from college two weeks ago. Now that they are older, it's such a blessing to have both kids home under the same roof even if it's just for one night. I'm back with the Hues of Happiness Suite of products. Oh my goodness, this pattern paper just makes my heart … [Read more...] about Happy Fri-YAY!
Happiness Abounds
One of my favorite stamp sets from the Catalog pre-order is the Happiness Abounds bundle. I absolutely love the coordinating pattern paper. For today's card I chose the rainbow sheet and matched my flower colors to the paper. I used my blending brush to add a bit of yellow to the tag just to soften the white color. And then edged the ink with a bit of pink to help it stand out. Then I added a lot of the iridescent rhinestones because I love … [Read more...] about Happiness Abounds

Happy Fri-Yay!
We are 11 days from the end of the 2021-22 Annual Catalog. Eeek! I'm going through my supplies now to see what items I need to have before they retire. Plus I always like to stock up on the retiring In Color products to make sure I have my ink refills and enough card stock to last me. Ooh, I need to check out the embellishments and ribbons too to make sure I have enough of my favorites as well. You can see the Retirement List here. … [Read more...] about Happy Fri-Yay!
