No Greater Love - with Vellum

 Although I am not a massive fan of vellum, it does have its place in cardmaking. Our No Greater Love stamp was layered over a pink and black ink blended background that has been stenciled with Silver Aladine Ice. This card is textural yet elegant, and the vellum helps with that effect. The No Greater Love stamp may be found here:

Flying Butterflies Sympathy Card

 

These are the cards you don't want to make, but sometimes you have to... Our Light Remains stamp is a beautiful sentiment for a sympathy card, and it pairs so nicely with the Peace and Comfort set on the inside. The Flying Butterflies are so pretty with blended Catherine Pooler inks, too. All available from Technique Junkies here:

In the Craft Room

 When stamping or scrapping with my friends, we share many fun times and quality conversations. I treasure those moments -- but so many times, those conversations need to stay in the craft room! Whether they are full of laughter or full of tears, those moments with my friends are the most treasured. The stamp is here:

Spring Bee

 Our All About Spring background stamp was created with three different embossing powders. I topped the background with a shimmering Big Bee and some gold-colored scrabble tiles. Stamps available from Technique Junkies.

Now I Wait...

 Yup, do what you love. Cheesecake and wine work for me! Our snarky Now I Wait stamp is layered over A Colorful Life Designs - Three Diamonds Stencil that was inked with Catherine Pooler Designs Apothecary Inks. All of these items are available from www.techniquejunkies.com. Hope this makes you smile, too!

Contemporary Peace and Comfort

There is something very soothing about this Thinking of You card...maybe it is the softly falling petals or the color scheme, or the encouraging sentiment on the inside of the card. The Contemporary Floral stamp was combined with two stamps from the Peace and Comfort set to make this encouragement card. Perfect for when you don't want to say "Get Well Soon" -- but to let someone know you admire their strength.

The Vine as a border...

The Contemporary Floral Vine Stamp is great when used just as a border! It has a flowing elegance that I just love. The sentiment is from the Lavender Friendship Sentiments Set.

Coffee Beans for the CoffeeGirl

 Our Coffee Girl loves her java! She is layered over the Coffee Beans background stamp and combined with the Birthstone Coffee Bean stamp. All from Technique Junkies!

Happy Ink Resist

 Catherine Pooler Inks are exquisite - here they are layered over the clear embossed Contemporary FloralVine stamp and topped with two stamps from the Five Fab Phrases (Set of 10). The resist effect is wonderful in person!

Sassy Pants

I guess this one only speaks to a generation of women who had people calling them Sassy Pants - but IYKYK! The masked Eye Rolling and Sassy Pants stamps are layered over the Pretty Line Florals for this remarkably easy card.

In the Craft Room...

 When I am with my friends, what is said when we are crafting certainly does not leave the room... Anyone who has shared the joy, laughter and intimacy with crafting friends will agree with me! The background here is the Artistic Swipe stamp (and Catherine Pooler Ink) , and the In the Craft Room stamp is one of the new March 2023 stamps:

One of my favorite of all the new stamps is the Pretty Line Florals stamp. This is one of these rare stamps that can be simple or elaborate - you can add color to the flowers and leaves, or just add ink to them. Both turn out fabulous!
