Do It Your Way!

By | October 6, 2016

Just a quick post with a fall offering using a new set from the Holiday catalog, Basket of Wishes. Now, my stamping partner Sherry would certainly watercolor this image in; she is a master at shading detailed images such as this! But since I am pressed for time today, I’ve elected to do it my… Read More »

Star of Light Shines Tonight!

By | October 4, 2016

My past few posts have been scheduled ahead, and today is no exception, because I’ve been gallivanting around the country visiting my stamping peeps that live in the far-flung Northeast region. A year ago in September we stamped at Sherry’s house, and made these window cards: Sherry, Wanda, Mindy, Kathy and Karenlee – the Chittenden… Read More »

A Tale of Two Cards

By | September 17, 2016

Every card has a story and these two are no exception: There are distinct similarities between these two cards, although Ann and I didn’t make them together. Her Harvest Moon card was part of the summer swap that we both worked on in August. My Blessed Maple Leaf card was just made today, the result… Read More »

The Clearance Rack Greatest Hits

By | September 14, 2016

Forgive me if you’ve seen some of these already, but sometimes you just have to bring back an oldie but a goodie! Our Clearance Rack has been rather modest for the past couple of months but yesterday morning Stampin’ Up! surprised us by stocking the shelves with over 100 sale items (113 to be exact,… Read More »

By | September 5, 2016

Remember a couple of days ago when I was showing my Halloween swaps and I mentioned that I had an idea for how to use the new Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper in the Holiday Catalog? Well, this weekend I had a chance to put my thoughts into action, and I designed this really fun and… Read More »

Beautiful Branches and Woodland Embossing Folder Together!

By | August 31, 2016

This is kind of a “good news/bad news” post. At the beginning of the month I told you about the limited edition Thoughtful Branches stamp set and Beautiful Branches Thinlits Dies that can be purchased, separately or as a cost-saving bundle, while supplies last: The good news is, as we were told, these products would… Read More »

Once is Never Enough, With a Stamp Like You

By | August 25, 2016

If you’re experiencing a little Deja Vu, I can explain: I have a small pile of cardstock pieces on my worktable, pieces that I’ve cut into but they’re still useful for another project, or sometimes they are the start of an idea that I’ve put aside for some reason. I refer to it lovingly as… Read More »

Remember Those Swaps?

By | July 30, 2016

Here are a couple of cards that we made with the Swirly Bird stamp set and matching Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies. I’ve shown… Read More »

Have Llama, Will Travel!

By | July 21, 2016

Well that was a trip! I’ve been trying to move my wordpress.com blog to a new location on the web for a couple of months now, and then all of a sudden – zip! Here I am, at my new address, faced with a blank blog template to fill with words, pictures and colors, just… Read More »

Start With a Button…

By | July 14, 2016

In New England there is an expression that goes something like, “Start with a button and make a shirt,” meaning to begin with something small and make something larger out of it. Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Ann, and we worked on several different projects, each of us sharing a new stamp… Read More »

Kitty Cats and Cards Don’t Mix!

By | July 1, 2016

Ok, I am finally ready to tell this story; it isn’t pretty, but Real Life is messy, as I’m sure anyone who has ever had a dog, a cat or a small child will understand! I mentioned at the beginning of June that I had attended a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator’s event where we met together… Read More »

Swirly Bird Afloat

By | June 14, 2016

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange.”                                                                                    Vincent Van Gogh In my last couple of posts I’ve been showing some examples using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies, but wait – there’s more! The new Swirly Bird stamps are a coordinating set and I am beginning to see that the possibilities are endless… Read More »

A Summer Grapevine Wreath

By | June 10, 2016

One of the beauties of the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies is that the various flowing shapes can be almost anything – flowers, leaves, sunshine, water, bird nests and so forth. In the case of this piece, I saw a grapevine wreath – one of those rustic rounds formed of dried vines in natural colors.… Read More »
