Elegant Bird Die Card Sample

Since we've been making birds lately, I wanted you to see this beautiful card made by Judy Sumner, a member of The TOPICS! When I first saw the Elegant Bird Die, I didn't think it was something I wanted, but I'm so happy I bought him because he sure is making me happy lately!

Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch Card Sample

When I saw this beautiful card designed by Ann Schach, I was falling all over myself - couldn't make it fast enough! It is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen! It NEEDS to be framed! It's too pretty to be stuck in an envelope in a desk drawer somewhere. That's not going to happen to mine. I'm framing it!!!!

Elegant Bird Die 3D Sample

Okay........isn't SHE fun???? Some of my customers weren't too keen on making a bird, but once they got into it, they had a great time making her! I JUST LOVE HER! A binder clip makes the perfect stand so you can put her on a shelf or a desk and enjoy her all day long! We talked about how fun it would be to make a Halloween bird or a Christmas bird and I am looking forward to doing that! She's beautiful to place on a card, but I love having her as a 3D item as well! The top bird is mine, but I loved the one that Susan Green made using the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper, so I wanted to show you hers, too!

Elegant Lines Valentine's Day Card Sample

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU! I have a very good friend, Judith Walker, who is an amazing homemaker, seamstress, cook, and paper-crafter. She absolutely loves working with her hands. She is very particular and meticulous and she creates masterpieces like this when she works! She sent me this lovely Valentine's Day card and when I opened the envelope, I was breathless! It is stunning to see this card in real life. She scored lines down the top layer so she'd know right where to sew those hearts on. Don't you agree this is a masterpiece? It reminds me of a quote by John Ruskin: When love and skill come together, expect a masterpiece. I am so proud and lucky to have one of Judith's masterpieces! Happy Valentine's Day to YOU, Judith. You have a beautiful heart, my friend, and your masterpiece has melted mine!

Fresh Vintage Home Decor Sample

One of my favorite things to do with my stamp sets is to create home decor items. It's such an inexpensive way to decorate a shelf or mantel and one more way that you can get your money's worth from the stamp sets you've invested in. I'm totally in love with the Sale-A-Bration set "Fresh Vintage" and I thought it would look lovely in this frame. I used Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Peach Parfait, and Poppy Parade markers to ink up the stamp. This is sitting on my fireplace mantel and now I feel all dressed up!
