Catch The Wave
I promised you a completely different look using the Circle Sayings Bundle. This takes the same stamp set in the whole new direction. I used the ocean scene for my card today. I stamped it first in Crumb Cake. Then I used my small blending brushes to add all the color. To color only the one part at a time, I used a mask to cover up the rest of the circle. I love how this card turned out. The bright sunset over the blue ocean waves is … [Read more...] about Catch The Wave
Sending Smiles
I'm back today with another card using products from the Circle Sayings Bundle. First, I absolutely love this pattern paper with the adorable fox. This paper is from the Countryside Suite. I didn't notice in the Catalog that this paper has these adorable animals in the pattern. Seriously, this is reason enough to buy the paper. Today's is another simple card with a very different look for the ribbon. Gathering up the ribbon like this takes … [Read more...] about Sending Smiles
Circle Sayings
Circle Sayings is a nice all occasion stamp set. It has a variety of sentiments in it suitable for a number of different occasions. For my first card with this stamp set, I used the cupcake and Celebrate. You can never have too many birthday cards in your stash. For the cupcake, I used vanilla for the frosting and stamped the wrapper on pattern paper. Then I cut out both pieces and layered the blue wrapper on top of the vanilla cupcake. I … [Read more...] about Circle Sayings
One More…
Happy Friday! I have one more card made from the Masterfully Made Suite. I think this one is my favorite so far. I think the two pinks, Berry Burst and Bubble Bath, compliment each other perfectly in this card. For this card, I wanted a more rustic look. So I distressed the pattern paper by wrinkling it and then smoothing it back out. Don't worry, next week I'll be sharing something new. I have a couple different stamp sets that I'm … [Read more...] about One More…
Thanks Version Two
Today's card is another thank you card that I sent to some of my June customers. This uses the Masterfully Made Suite as well. This is the first chance that I had to use some of the greenery dies in the Suite. Both of these dies are so intricate. The extra bit of greenery just adds a little something extra. Cards don't have to be super complicated to be pretty. The pattern paper used today is so beautiful that I had a hard time cutting it up … [Read more...] about Thanks Version Two
June Customer Thank You
For June's thank you cards, I used the Masterfully Made Suite from the Annual Catalog. The pattern paper in the Suite is stunning. There is so much detail and depth in the paper. For this card, I used the paper, some twine, and the thank you rectangle. All of those amazing flowers are the printed paper. Thanks to a long weekend last week and a simple design, I was able to get my June thank you's out relatively quick. If you missed out … [Read more...] about June Customer Thank You
My Favorite Books
I've been an avid reader for most of my life. Shortly after college, I started a notebook keeping track of all the books I read every year. I filled up the entire notebook a number of years ago and started a second notebook. Keeping track of the books I've read has been handy because I can go back through the years to see if I've already read a book when it's familiar. But the downside is that the notebooks are in chronological order and not in … [Read more...] about My Favorite Books
