In today’s post we continue creating with the Fourscore Decorative Masks using blending brushes and painter’s brush for a watercolor look.
Having Fun With the Hippest Hippos – Love You a Ton
Sale-A-Bration and the 2022 July – December Catalog is live. Read today’s post to see how I used the Hippest Hippos and Hippo dies from the SAB catalog.
Waterfront – The Good & The Not So Good
Happy Monday! The Waterfront stamp is a very versatile stamp and you can make lots of different scenes. Today I’m focusing on the love sentiment and one of the smaller images in the set that may be overlooked. When I started making this card, my idea was to add a little subtle color to the tin tile embossing folder. Using a sponge dauber, I started …
Happy Celebrations
You probably want to see some new stuff, but, unfortunately, not today….instead I’m sharing with you a discovery I made using the Happy Celebrations stamp set and Celebrations Duo Embossing Folder. Today’s post has a couple of retired items (color & embossing folder) because I made this card back in March, but most of it is still current. I started out with the idea of making one card …
More Love You Lots
Hi Stampers! Did you know that there are exclusive host stamps in the back of the catalogs? To get these sets, you need to host a workshop or place an order of $150. Today I’m featuring my favorite retiring one from the Annual Catalog – Love You Lots set. I love these cute images, they’re so much fun to play with. In this first card, along …
So In Love With Mediterranean Moments
I know Valentine’s Day is over, but I still have some cards I haven’t posted yet so I thought I would share another one with you. I used several stamps to create this card but the main focus was done with Mediterranean Moments and So In Love. There are two techniques I used on this card – the first being that I made an opening of …
Baby Bear Valentine
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’re doing something special with someone you love – whether it be your spouse, a child, a friend or someone who simply needs to be shown some love. Today’s card is one that I made for my grandson who’s turning 2 at the end of this week. I love this Baby Bear set – it looks so realistic and you can …
Lots of Love
I don’t know what the weather’s been like where you live, but here in NJ we’ve experienced Spring, Fall and Winter all in one week. Although it hasn’t been a bad winter, I’m ready for some spring weather and no more colds. However, it’s great weather for staying home and creating cards for Valentine’s Day. Today’s card features the host set Lots of Love and …
Painter’s Palette Valentine
Can you believe January is almost over?! That means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so I thought I would share a card I made several months ago to celebrate the occasion. I created this card with the Painter’s Palette stamp set – different than all the other cards that I’ve made with this set. Click here and here to see other cards with the …
Sealed With Love Notes
These 3″ x 3″ cards were made with the Sealed with Love suite – Sealed with Love stamp set, Love Note Framelits, Sending Love Designer Series Paper and Sending Love embellishments. These were one of the make and takes at a Stampin’ Up! event back in November before the Occasions catalog went live. Aren’t they cute? My favorite product from this suite is the Love Note Framelits. I …

Weather Together In Love
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Weather Together and Umbrella Weather Framelits is one of my favorites. Before I started to create this card, I was envisioning one of the impressionistic paintings about Paris and the umbrellas in the park and so I wanted lots of color for my card. Card Details Here are the details . . . I started out with …
Life Is A Beautiful Ride
I like combining several stamps and creating a scene and so that’s what I did for this card. I stamped the car, couple & sentiment from Beautiful Ride, the tree from Sheltering Tree and the stars from Balloon Celebration. Actually, when I stamped the stars with VersaMark to emboss with white embossing powder, I thought I had selected the closed stars but instead they were the open …
What I Love
The What I Love Sale-A-Bration stamp is so pretty. It’s called a 2-step stamp but actually it’s stamped 3 times. The flower images comes with a small arrow. Each time you stamp one of the flower images, place the arrow in the same direction and this will ensure that the placement of each of the flower parts will be exact, although with this flower if …
Sheltering Tree Warms My Heart
The Sheltering Tree is one of my favorite stamp sets in the occasion catalog. I love making cards with a scene and this set lends itself to that. What I love about this set is the watercolor effect and that you can easily change the seasons with a change of color and a couple of images from the set. A definite must-have. This card is …
