Welcome to my Stamping Blog

Isn't this a fun card?!  My assistant and team member, Jaynee, helped me to design it (it was crunch time, about 1/2 hour before a class and I was struggling!).The Party Pandas were stamped on Whisper White cardstock and hand cut out.  The hats were colored in with markers -- I'm pretty sure that they were primarily the Brights markers, but you could substitute any color to match your designer paper.  In this case, the designer paper layered behind the Whisper White layer is...

One of the early stamp sets offered for free in Sale-a-bration this year was the Epic Celebrations stamp set.  I immediately thought this would be a great stamp set for a teenage boy.  How cool!!  These three cards are not my own -- they were all received in swaps I participated in this past January.  The first two cards both feature our new Brusho crystals.  This is another Brusho card and uses a different sentiment.  It's not obvious in the picture, but I'm...
