Oops, I thought that I had scheduled this post to be published. Here are a couple of place cards that I made for a couple of Birthday Dinners for my Mom. She loves anything with an Asian Flair. This was the first one that I made. This was an attempt to make a Takeout box. I also used a Chinese Takeout font for the names. The other Place Card that I made was a Fortune... Read more →

Here is another place card that I did. Again I used the Faux Metal Technique. This one was simple compared to the last one. I used a set called Wanted that is from Stampin Up's Archives. You can still get the Two Tags Die cut that I used. Here is another fun place card. I used the Direct to Stamp Technique with Stampin Up Water Color Crayons. You mist your stamp set, colour right on... Read more →

One thing that I like to make is Place Cards for special occasions. I make these cards when there is a family or friend's dinner that we have a sit down affair. In January, we celebrated Spike and Jacquie's Birthday. This is an annual January event. It usually has 10-14 people that come from or are associated with Sugar Loaf Ranch. To go along with the theme, I try to make something that is apropos... Read more →

I really like this stamp set. I think it can be so versatile. You could use it for an Anniversary Card and even a Wedding card. Because it is February, I made another Valentine card.

The first one we did was using a brayer with Soft Suede Stamp pad and brayered over the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder.... Read more →

I love this cute little set that is in the Occasions Mini. It is called Valentine Defined. I was in a swap last weekend and the theme was Alcohol. Pretty broad topic. The samples were amazing. I used Glossy Cardstock. On a cotton swab dipped in Rubbing Alcohol, I put a couple of drops of Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake Reinker on it and just smooshed around on the card stock. All the backgrounds... Read more →

Isn't stamping amazing? Anything goes. I was amazed that I made a card with blue flowers. I am not even sure if it even resembles a real flower. Kinda looks like one though. As promised yesterday, here is my Marina Mist Flower that was made wth the Build a Blossom Stamp set and the Blossom Petal Punch. This was a very simple card. The other stamp set used was Tiny Tags. The paper is Whisper... Read more →

I am so bad! I was really feeling rotten the last week and a half in January. When I got better, I forgot about my blog and just went into my Stamping Room. Not a bad thing. I actually had some different ideas that seemed to come together. Don't you love it when that happens? I do have a few shares. Here is a card that we made at club last month using the FABULOUS...
