May Flowers

May showers bring May Flowers....Where did may go? I realize that May came and went without a post and no, we didn't have much for showers.

In May I got together with one of my "T's" - and stamped! I wanted to show Tonya a new technique that I saw on a blog listed below under my list of inspirations; Patty's Stamping Spot.


These floral beauties were created using the Manhattan flower impression die, glossy paper, a brayer and some ink. Patty has a technique video that is easy to follow; the key is to run your glossy paper through upside down so that the glossy side has the impression down, not raised.

Create some floral beauties today!

HAPPY STAMPING - April

More Manhattan Flower Impressions

These impressions using the Manhattan Flower impression plate with the Big Shot, were created using a copper and blue shimmer paper. Again, the result is WOW!

Wilson Card club

Sharon invited me to Wilson Card Club to demonstrate Stampin' Up! Big Shot and the Manhattan Flower textured impression plate. It was alot of fun to see everyone again and have fun sharing this card and technique. This group is very creative and fun to be around! The card above was created using all Stampin' Up! supplies: paper-Basic Gray, Baja Breeze, Whisper White; ribbon-white taffeta ribbon. Run the Whisper White cardstock through the Manhattan Flower textured impression plate and viola' - an elegant, simple card.

The card below uses the same colors and technique, however, I stamped the card using Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set on Whisper White cardstock BEFORE running the paper through the impression plate.

I am stamping today and will have more to share...check back later!

A happy day is stamping all day!

Time to Stamp!

There is a time to dance and a time to celebrate and a TIME TO STAMP! I have been busy and not able to stamp and/or post. So be prepared for multiple posts because I am stamping this weekend. I have so many projects to work on and so little time before the holidays.


This is the card I created tonight using the Big Shot. The bird is from the Birds and Blooms Sizzlets. I keep pulling the sizzlet out and looking at it and wondering hmmmmm. I am always getting stuck for an idea with this birdie. Then I saw a card on a blog from my list to the left "My Favorite Things" by Dawn. This is my version of her creation. I love the bird and now have lots of ideas in my head to create.
