Welcome to my Stamping Blog

I had fun designing this month's birthday card class!!  Every month I have a special class dedicated just to birthdays. We make 4 birthday cards -- 1 masculine, 1 kid's card, and 2 more feminine cards. We have cupcakes, and if it's someone's birthday in the class, they get a special $5.00 coupon as well!Here are tonight's cards:I have to say that the card on the left is NOT my own.  A fellow team member received it in a swap and shared it with me -- love at first sight!  I...

When I was cleaning out my craft room this past winter, I came across a winter sampler frame I had made a few years ago.  The frame was super easy: (9) 3" x 3" squares, pleasantly combined and mounted on bigger mats in a 12" x 12" frame.

A few months back, I posted a picture of my Valentine's sampler.  Yep, I've been busy creating, although I'm painfully pathetic at posting my creations!!Today though, I thought I'd share a few closeup photos of the Spring Sampler Class I'll be teaching tomorrow. This is the what I finally came up with, using the Cupcakes and Carousels Designer Series Paper (DSP), the 12" x 12" cardstock from the Falling in Love cardstock (c/s) pack, and multiple stamp sets.  I'll list the stamp sets,...
