Welcome to my Stamping Blog

Good morning all! I promised a tutorial on how to create the waterfall card and here it is!Your card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" -- score it at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. Next, I layered a Very Vanilla c/s piece (5 3/8" x 4 1/8") under a DSP piece of your choice (5 1/4" x 4", Sweet Shoppe Specialty DSP is pictured, available in the spring mini catalog).You can attach your DSP piece to the matted 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece -- *don't attach to your card base yet since you don't want to see your brads or...

Now that I know how to create these, I just LOVE making waterfall cards! Check this one out!

I saw the small Chocolate Kiss box (the chocolate covered-strawberry...

I hoped to do a combination class with the Adorning Accents as well but there's just so much good stuff to this Apothecary Art stamp set! I'll have to save that for another time! In the meantime, here's what we'll be making -- I case'd most of these from the Stampin' Connection demonstrator website since there are some fabulously-talented demonstrators out there! Why re-invent the wheel when...

Hi all!Just a super-quick post to say that I really am here although life has dealt our family a crazy blow these past few months! However, I've been stamping and I want to quickly share my Demonstrator group swap card using some new stamps and toys from the Spring Mini Catalog!I used the new Edgelit Adorning Accents die with the new Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. The DSP is the new Twitterpated, and the little hearts were punched out with the small heart punch using the carried-over Red...
