The new Butterfly Brilliance stamp is LARGE. There are 6 butterflies on one stamp. The largeness is both a great thing and can cause a few (overcomeable) inconveniences. All at once, you can create an instant background or have 6 instant butterflies to cut with the coordinating Butterfly Wings dies. Color all the butterflies the same, or give them their…

I have used the Arrange a Wreath set & dies a lot since I purchased it, definitely well used, loved and recommended. I came across a photograph on the internet that showed two wreaths intertwined together – such a brilliant (and easy) idea!

Creating Ice Cream & Popsicles are fun and easy to create with these ice cream and popsicle stamps, punch and paper. But if you look closely, there are several alternate card ideas for the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set too.

I’ve been busy preparing kits for our town’s Council on Aging Spring card kits. The kits require a lot of cut outs for simple glueing assembly. As I was cutting butterflies and flowers on my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I noticed my machine was looking a bit “dusty”. Not from lack of use, but rather from lots of use.…
I am sure you have discovered after seeing many of my designs that I am more of a clean & simple type of stamper. Some cards have layers, but not overly so. Bright colors over subtle or vintage.
