Perfect Love

A friend of mine needed a wedding card. Since I didn't have one in my stash I made this one for her to send. I really hope she likes it. It was actually pretty quick and easy...and that NEVER happens for me! Ha!

The main image is Whiff of Joy's Wedding Cake unmounted stamp. I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.

The corners of the panel were punched with a Fiskars corner punch, then Blush Pearls were added to embellish.

The sentiment is from the Whiff of Joy Wedding Sentiment Collection . It was stamped on Crabapple Prismatics cardstock, then cut with my Spellbinders Fancy Tags . The burgundy velvet ribbon is May Arts, and the designer paper is from the Madeline paper pad by K & Company.

So, that's it for me tonight! I'm off to find something for dinner.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hand-Mailed by A Hedgie...and a winner!

I hope you've all had a good weekend! Is it almost over...already? :-(

I didn't have a lot of stamping time this weekend, but I DID find the time to stamp this cute Penny Black image called Hand-Mailed . It was stamped with Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush. It was then cut and embossed using a Spellbinders Curved Rectangle Nestabilities die.



All the designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Merry Days of Christmas paper kit. The bottom of the diagonal stripe paper was cut using a Spellbinders Fancy Scalloped Pierceability . The Blush Red Prismatics panel in the center was embossed using a Herringbone Cuttlebug embossing folder. The green cardstock is Spring Willow Prismatics medium. The green button in the top left corner is from my stash. I tied the bow with May Arts Red Burlap String .

So...I'm sure you came here to see a card, didn't you? Or was it to find out who won the blog candy? LOL!

Drumroll please....

I can't thank you enough for joining us today for the last day of Impression Obsession week. The Dream Team and I have SO enjoyed it, and we hope you have too!

I think this little Christmas Tree Mouse is the cutest thing ever! I stamped it on white cardstock using Onyx Black Versafine ink, heat set it, then colored using Prismacolored pencils and mineral spirits.

The stamped image was cut and embossed with Spellbinders Small Labels Nestabilities then layered using Large Labels cut from Blush Red Prismatics dark.

The holly on the bottom of the panel is from the stamp set.


The sentiment is also included in the Christmas Tree Mouse clear stamp set. I added a couple of red Mini Rhinestones to the holly, then put a bead of Frosted Lace Stickles around the edge.

The frame behind the sentiment is Spellbinders Fancy Tags . The designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Merry Days of Christmas paper kit.

Snowman Admiration

Thanks so very much for joining us today for Day 4 of Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream! If you haven't already, please BE SURE to comment on yesterday's post for the blog candy..okay?


The moment I saw this adorable little stamp I KNEW I had to have it! I have so many friends who are firemen, or are married to firemen, and this will be a great and very personalized Christmas card for them!

The stamp is called Admiration . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then embossed with Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush. The snowflake is the Martha Stewart Glacial Snowflake punch glittered with Ultrafine Transparent Glitter . Sorry it's so hard to see in my photos. It's so pretty! :-(

The designer paper is from the Li'l Man Paper Kit by Cosmo Cricket. See...it DOES look Christmasey, doesn't it? :-) How DOES one spell Christmasey, anyway? Is that really a word?

The sentiment is Impression Obsession's Merry Christmas . It was stamped on Classic Red Prismatics then cut and embossed with the **NEW** Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 2 . The ribbon is May Arts Red Silk .

Candy Jars...AND Blog Candy!!!

What a week...already! I had a Monday at work yesterday...even though it was really Tuesday. LOL! Did that happen to any of the rest of you?

The good news is that I've had a blast with my new Impression Obsession stamps! This one is called Candy Jars . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.

To embellish the rock candy sticks I added a bit of JudiKins Diamond Glaze to each, then sprinkled with Art Institute Glitter's Glass Glitter Shards . I DO SO love that look!

The designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Colorful Christmas paper kit. The scalloped edges were punched with Martha Stewart's New Scallop Edge punch. I added Mini Rhinestones to the bottom scallop for a little bling.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the JustRite Something Sweet borders and centers set. I cut and embossed it using Spellbinders Labels One Nestabilities . I just love it that I could use a non-traditional Christmas stamp, and the sentiment ties the main image to the Christmas season. Versatility is a good thing!

The cardstock used is Baby Blue Prismatics , and Blush Red Prismatics .

Please just indulge me a moment while I say how very grateful I am for each and every one of you who come here, and particularly those of you who are kind enough to take time out of your day to leave a comment for me. Your encouragement is priceless, I assure you!

Impression Obsession Week!

Happy Labor Day! The Dream Team is celebrating all week with cards using stamps from Impression Obsession . I will list this week's schedule at the bottom of my post.


The stamp I used for the main image is Impression Obsession's Toasty Treats cling mount stamp.

I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black VersaFine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow Markers . The marshmallows and whipped cream were embellished with White Liquid Applique then sprinkled with Ultrafine Crystal Glitter while it was still wet. The edges were dirtied with Distress Inks .

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers Holiday Demi Phrases stamp set. It was stamped on Mint Prismatics cardstock, then cut and embossed using Spellbinders Labels Five die cut. The snowflake was cut from a Martha Stewart Glacial Snowflake punch, then glittered using Art Institute Glitter's Vintage Glass Shards .

I really love using paper for Christmas cards that isn't meant to be Christmas paper. I picked up that little trick from my friend Tosha . She is the master at pulling that off so eloquently. The designer paper I used is from the Cosmo Cricket Li'L Man Paper Kit . The cardstock is Blush Red Prismatics dark, Mint Prismatics and Tawny Prismatics medium.

Be sure not to miss anything this week! There are so many awesome designs in store for you:

Today: Cammie , Charmaine , and me

Tuesday: Amy , Denise , Charmaine and me

Wednesday: Silke , Becca , and me

Thursday: Denise , Laurie and me

Oh yeah...I'm still searching for some blog candy to celebrate 200,000 hits coming up this week. Stay tuned!

Simple Sympathy

Sadly, I needed a simple sympathy card for a friend who buried his mother just this week. So I needed it to be a little masculine...no ribbon or bows, and I needed it to be fairly quick. I'm working on some things for a special promotion we're having next week. (More about that tomorrow.)
I turned to my two "go to" stamp sets for sympathy. The main image on the front is JustRite's Thinking of You set. I used Onyx Black Versafine to stamp on the patterned paper, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The leaves were colored with Prismacolor Pencils, and a White Opaque Pen was used to color the flower.

I used my new Spellbinders Labels Five Nestailities for the background layer. The pearls are Kaiser Craft Pewter Pearls .



The sentiment on the inside is from my other "go to" sympathy set. It's from Impression Obsession's Sympathy Sentiments clear stamp set.

All the designer paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Everafter Paper Kit . The cardstock is Birchtone Prismatics medium and dark, and Candle Glow Prismatics dark.

I'm quickly approaching 200,000 hits on my blog. Hmmmm....maybe I should be looking for some blog candy to give away soon, huh? Be sure to check back to see what I come up with! :-)

I hope you're all having a fabulous holiday weekend. I will be back tomorrow morning with something new. Until then...
