I became interested in making home made cards in 2007 when I met a Stampin Up demonstrator with whom I worked with. My primary days were me just acclimating myself to the love of stamping. I grew as a stamper and may passion for making someone smile with a personalized hand stamped card brought so much joy to me. I enjoy learning new techniques, although embossing and water coloring are my most favorite. My sources for learning new products and technique are YouTube, Facebook and SplitCoastStampers. When I am unable to stamp, I feel a void inside of me. I love sharing my new ideas and my new techniques also. Let us learn together as I use this blog to teach while I am learning myself.

With this designer series paper from Stampin Up called Petal Promenade, I am able to let summer linger just a little longer.

I completed one card….

As I promised, I completed my first card in 7 months. It turned out better than I really anticipated. I made this card for a coworker’s husband who hands out these cards to his parishioners who are elderly. He gives them cards and care packages on their birthday or when they are not well. And… Read More I completed one card….
