What I Do Instead of Laundry

A person should never go "window" shopping in a stamp store with another stamper, unless that person wants to lay out some serious cash.  Oh well.  I take full responsibility...These poppies are from Paper Source, and although I have almost completely sworn off rubber stamps, these called my name.  I had to have both, of course. Paper: PTI White Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, Versafine Stamps: PTI Signature Greetings, Faux Ribbon (stems), Paper Source poppies Other: Zig marker

Sympathy cards are always difficult to make, I think, but beautiful stamps and paper make it a bit easier.  This one is for my friend who recently lost her dad. Paper: PTI White, Autumn Rose Ink: Versafine Onyx, Versamark, SU Mauve Mist, PTI Autumn Rose, Spring Moss Stamps: PTI Rosie Posie, WMS Framed Other: PTI Rosie Posie Dies

Another use of Zing sparkly embossing powder--this time silver and gold. Paper: PTI White, True Black Ink: Versamark Stamps: PTI Harvest Berries, Think Big Favorites Other: Zing embossing powder silver, gold

I get distracted by shiny things. This is sparkly copper embossing powder by Zing, and I had to try it out on those ginkgo leaves in Harvest Berries. It is so hard to photograph glitter! Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Ocean Tides Ink: Versamark, PTI Vintage Cream Stamps: PTI Harvest Berries, Think Big Favorites Other: Zing embossing powder, corner chomper

My new favorite Waltzingmouse stamp set is Nordic Winter. LOVE. It looks great in any color, but I especially love it embossed in white on red. Not too Christmasy, but still wintery, right? It took me forever to figure out what to put in front of that pattern, because it's so delicious. I decided to go simple. I ended up making 10 of these. Paper: PTI White, Pure Poppy, True Black Ink: Versamark Stamps: WMS Nordic Winter, PTI Women of Life Other: White Filigree embossing powder, dimensional tape

We were challenged to embrace the white space on a card. It's easy to do when the colors and images are bold and bright. I am loving Rosie Posie, can you tell? It's the perfect all-around image set for both masculine and feminine cards. Paper: PTI White Ink: SU Brilliant Blue, Green Galore Stamps: PTI Birthday Basics, Rosie Posie

Okay, so you already saw a version of this card in different colors, but I really like the trick of the Fresh Alphabet in the hexagons. Great for one-layer cards! Paper: PTI White Ink: SU Brilliant Blue, Green Galore Stamps: PTI Rosie Posie, Fresh Alphabet, Big Birthday Wishes

Here is my attempt at using the same stamps in different ways, also on flat cards. I LOVE that PTI's Fresh Alphabet fits into those hexagons from Rosie Posie! ...and can anyone photograph Summer Sunrise adequately? I sure can't. Paper: PTI White, Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise Ink: PTI Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise, SU Pumpkin Pie Stamps: PTI Rosie Posie, Big Birthday Wishes, Fresh Alphabet Other: Dimensional tape

I've signed up for another Online Card Class , and I'm so excited. This Clean and Simple style is right up my alley!
