I love these new incolors.  I used Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantelope together and the new Artisan Punch.

I really feel like I didn’t use this gorgeous DSP enough and now that it is retiring, I am scrambling to use it, especially since I have sooooo much of it.  It lends itself to vintage technique that I am so fond of.

I have really enjoyed using this stamp set with the matching punch.  There is so much variety with 11 stamps in this set.  You can purchase this after June 1st from the new catalog.

 

This card was created using the embossing folders on page 5 of the Spring catalog.  I sponged the card with Soft suede ink.

 

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we’re bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image!

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, we’re including a collector’s card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

You will be able to get this set FREE by hosting a party in your home or mine after June 1st.  You are going to love all the beautiful free stuff you can get in the new catalog.  I love the washi tape.  Contact me to get yours.

This is another one of those hostess sets you are going to be able to get FREE hosting a workshop or a book party from the new catalog.  Just lovely images!  Also there will be a pansy punch in the new catalog that cuts out this blossom perfectly!  Are you getting excited yet?

I want to wish every Mother out there a wonderful Day filled with love and family!

I just realized how much I have gone to this background paper for Mother’s Day.  It is amazing how much the background changes when the base card color is changed.

We just traveled to TN for my Granddaughter’s First Holy Communion and this is a card I made especially for it.

This is a card I designed for the Artisan Design Team contest and then decided I didn’t like it well enough to enter it.  What do you think?

I created this card with a new Hostess set to be released in the new catalog coming out in June.  This set has so many beautiful images that you can water color.  I just love it!  In addition, this is the new DSP called Gingham Garden.

These flowers are also from the secret Garden collection.  You can get them with the dies in a bundle and save some money.  Page 17 in the Spring Catalog.

This set was part of a bundle that I got for free from SU for being a Manager.  It came with the embossing folder, matching DSP, and the coolest matching punch.   Love it!

I love vintage and you know if you follow me that it is one of my favorite techniques.  This color is summer starfruit and I love how it looks when it is sponged with Soft suede.

Love this paisley DSP that comes in the Print Poetry book on page 16 of the Spring Catalog.

I am going to be posting some cards that you can copy for Mother’s day.  Hope you like them.  Hugs, Patti

This is a little sneek peek at one of our new stamps and matching embossing folders that will be sold as a bundle, if you prefer, in the new catalog to be released on June 1st.

This is one of those sets that are being retired.  As you know I will be selling all my retired sets as of May 1st.  So anything you see that you may be interested in, please put it on your list and check with me first to see if I have it before paying the full price for it online.
