Peaceful Petals Bookmark Card

The Peaceful Petals Stamp Set is a great set in the Occasions catalog that is going away on June 1st. I used this set last night at my technique club meeting to make this beautiful detached bookmark card using the Stampin’ Trimmer with the Rotary Addition and the Perforating Cutting Blade.  I also used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on the bookmark (another great tool!). Not …

Hardwood, Mixed Bunch & Flower Shop

Here’s another card using the Hardwood Background stamp that I made for my sister who celebrated her birthday last week. I believe she really liked it! May is a popular month in my family with birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother’s Day – many cards to make! I stamped the card stock with Crumb Cake ink on a 5-1/2″ x 12″ Very Vanilla card stock and scored at …

Peaceful Petals On Film – A Mother’s Day Card

I love the On Film Framelits – they’re so much fun.  You can use them to focus on an image or simply put a favorite picture of yours. I colored the flowers from the Peaceful Petals Stamp Set with my blender pens. The top flower is one of my favorites from this set found in the Occasions catalog (good through June 1).  And what can I say …

Happy Mother’s Day Accordion Card

I always like to make an extra special card for Mother’s Day so I chose to make this accordion card for my mom and mother-in-law. My dear mom has been through a lot physically – she’s been in the hospital / rehab more than at home the past couple of years. She is the strongest person I know and I admire her. Despite all her ailments …

I’m ready for warm weather and these flowers from the Summer Silhouettes stamp remind me that it’s just around the corner – they make me happy.  I stamped the butterfly on vellum, colored it on the back with markers and sponged the bottom of the card with Daffodil Delight ink.

Wheels, Wheels, Wheels

Some people love the Stampin’ Around Wheels and some people don’t like them. I happen to be one that loves them!  They make quick projects and great backgrounds… unfortunately, they’re being retired.  My very favorite wheels are the Music Notes Wheel and Very Vintage Wheel.   Did you know that you could unmount your wheel and make it a clear-mount stamp? Just find the seam …
