Happy Mother’s Day…

Author: May 12, 2019 0 Comments

First I want to wish all the Mom’s out there a Happy Mother’s day!
I know it’s been WAY to long! So much has been going on over the last year with work, family my kids and grandkids that I had to put things on hold. Not ALL the way on hold just a little bit! I’m still stampin’ and will be doing more things with that. Updating my videos for one!

But things will be changing as I get into the swing of things. Next month we start with the NEW Stampin’ Up! Catty! I’ve got to say WOW! Just WOW! Lot’s of changes but one thing that doesn’t change is ALL the awesome colors and stamp sets and accessories Stampin’ Up! has to offer!

So stay tuned….

Sunset Mermaid Card #6

Author: July 22, 2017 2 Comments

Good  Morning and Happy Saturday! Welcome to Day #6 of Mermaid Week!

Today’s card was inspired by another Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (Lisa LoPresti Curcio). She did a Beautiful Card using the New stamp set “Fabulous Flamino” from Stampin’ Up! When I saw her card it was just breath taking.  Don’t have that set “YET” so of course what came to mind???

Yes my current obsession “Magical Mermaid”!   So here is what I created!  I did get a little heavy handed with the Tango Tangerine BUT it was to late! I will be doing this one again!

I ended up LOVING the final results though!  There is something about it that just draws me in!

Here is a close up! Makes me want to go to the beach and watch the sunset!  Here are the materials I used.

Magical Mermaid Card #4

Author: July 20, 2017 0 Comments

Well it’s officially still Thursday and so I’m here with Card #4 of Mermaid Week!

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest for this card. I haven’t done the “Sponging Technique” in AGES it seems.  So I’m pretty pleased with how this one came out.

Using Emerald Envy Ink and stamped the image in Calypso Coral.  How FUN is this card!  Of course I used the Magical Mermaid Set too!  I don’t know there is just something about this set that I just LOVE!  Well until tomorrow thanks for stopping by and as always….

Happy Stampin,

Magical Mermaid meets High Tide

Author: July 19, 2017 0 Comments

Happy Wednesday ALL! Ok so this is day 3 of Mermaid week!  I have LOTS to share and more ideas with this stamp set!  Remember all the Mermaids I stamped? Well I’ve got to do something with them right?

BUT was super excited with this card that I created last night and it kept me up late that’s for sure!

It was in my head and so here it is….”Magical Mermaid” meets “High Tide”.  I’m super rusty on my “Sponging” skills but have been practicing. Which you’ll see on the card I did before this one. (Yes another Mermaid Card) LOL!   I’m loving this!  Click photo to see bigger image.

Hope you like it….stay tuned for more inspiration.  I can’t seem to stop. As always thanks for stopping by and….

Happy Stampin’,
