Crazy for Cupcakes is such a fun set and I'm sad to see it go. Cupcakes are such the rage still and this set is so versatile.
Take time today to reflect on the service and sacrifice made by all the men and women in our armed forces. If you are reading this and have served or are still serving, THANK YOU. We enjoy our freedoms today because of your sacrifice and we can never thank you enough. My dad served in WWII and I don't remember ever thanking him for his service. He passed away 25 years ago but it seems like yesterday. I love you daddy and thank you for your service!
Say a prayer for our troops and next time you see someone in uniform, take the time to stop and thank them for their service. They will appreciate it.
I love this card. I get excited when I design something out of thin air and it turns out this good. Well, I like it anyway.
The Mocha Morning Specialty DSP is so yummy. It even has a yummy name. The DSP is retiring and so is the Stamp Set - Happiest Birthday Wishes, # 122615 (wood) or 122617 (clear). It's a hostess only stamp set but can be yours with an order of $150 or more. I think it's the best hostess set in the catalog. I use it a lot and will certainly miss it when May 31st comes around.
Not really but I use this Christmas set all year round. It's Scenic Season # 115354. I just mask the Season's Greeting words and use it for everything. It's that versatile. This is on watercolor paper. We stamped the image, thumped darker marker ink on top, sprayed with water and then stamped it onto the wc paper. Beautiful. Add your special greeting and you're finished. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Both of these stamp sets are so versatile. Sincere Salutations, #115068 is one of the best sets in the catalog...sadly it is retiring. The leaves are from Autumn Splendor - #116503 and it is fabulous to work with in so many ways...embossing, brayering, watercoloring, and more. This is simply embossed with black embossing powder. If you click on the image, you can see the shine of the embossed leaves. There are countless ways to change the look of this stamp set which is all leaves. Boo hoo that it's retiring.
