Amazing Paper Grace

I found these stickers at Michaels made out of fun foam and thought they were stinkin’ cute.  Then when I saw Taylored Expression Sketch Challenge #45 and knew I had to try them out.  To showcase this little guy I decided to cut a Spellbinder Frame using Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Ovals  and Spellbinders Classics Ovals […]

 
This card again shows the circular embossing technique using a  Cuttlebug folder . . . look familiar?  This was actually the first circle I cut, but since the pattern was a little more subtle in the foil, I set the sample aside and made another earlier week.  Coming back around to this beautiful foil, I […]

I just love this sketch.  It’s this weeks Sketch For You To Try from Jen del Muro over at I{Heart}2Stamp.  This poor card languished on my desk needing something more, alas I rescued it from a  possible trip to the trash can and was able to rework so things so that I could post it.  […]

How many of you purchased those small Cuttlebug embossing folders and then were disappointed that their use was limited?  Yeah, me too.  It seems that you couldn’t really bite in far enough to get the image where you wanted it and some of them have an orientation that limits their use as well.  I’ve been […]

A good friend of mine emailed to ask where to get foil paper for making cards and boy did it open up a whole can of worms.  You see, I was trying to resist seeing the foil, touching the foil, dreaming of what to do with the foil.  I went on a foil binge not […]

 
It’s that time again!!  Time for the Divine Design Challenge which is a Bible Verse Challenge where many stampers have made a commitment to offer a card or project on the 8th of each month that includes scripture holding special meaning to them.  You can read more about the challenge on Lori Craig’s blog  here.  […]

While I was thinking about it, I wanted to post these cards.  They went out in the mail early this morning to two ladies that I am praying for and wanted them to know that I’m thinking about them.  I would like to encourage you to check out THIS post on Kelley Holland’s blog (Our […]

It is a team of talented bloggers handpicked to showcase Flourishes Stamps; I am so honored to be among the cast of stars that were picked for […]

It’s not autumn here yet but a girl can dream, right?  Am I the only one that sighs when I day dream about fall?  It’s seriously the most wonderful season and a wonderful prelude to winter.  Everybody else seems to be stamping autumn so I couldn’t stand back and be left out!   I am seriously […]

 
WooHoo, a couple of my new embossing folders came in yesterday…they were ordered more than a month ago…grrrrr.   It was great to get to play with them, and again I resorted to the foil paper - this is a precious shade of light blue.  This card is a big one…I think I got carried […]

 
I was dying to play along with the Technique Challenge for the week  (TLC182) which was to make a clear goodie box.  I scoped out some cool black velvet paper that was in my stash and decided to pair it with gold.  Well once I got the box most of the way done, I came […]

I love this little stamp!!  I’m sure you will see this quite often.  At any rate, I wanted to do a smaller size card, which is a rare event for me; this one is 4" x 4" .  It isn’t so much that I love green as these supplies were handy on my table when […]
