Isn’t this card stunning!!! I’m so in love with the entire 2016-2017 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, and the Affectionately Your Suite is one of my favorites. The Love & Affection stamp set is so perfect, the sections of the flowers all a individual stamp sets allowing you you create the multiple colored flowers easily. The font…

I might need to purchase a few more packs of Farmer’s Market DSP before it sells out. These are just some of my favorite colors and color combinations. A litte trick to this card is that the DSP is only about 3 inches long. You cut about 3/4″ off one end, attach it to the…
I love the sweetness to the Bordering Blooms stamp set. I watercolored it with 70% Rubbing Alcohol in my aqua painter. It think this will be my go-to liquid for watercoloring, it give me so much more control, and I don’t need to pull out my heat tool to dry my work. The Bordering Blooms…

I stopped purchasing gift bags several years ago. I hated paying over $5 for a bag that was mass produced. They were never a cute as what I could come up with myself. My daughter got a fancy water bottle for a friends birthday party. I used a blank Wine Gift Bag and decorated with…
