Recently I needed sympathy cards. I try to have one or two on hand, but I much prefer making just the right card. It allows me to create something just for the person who has lost a loved one, and I can also spend some time thinking about them and praying for them as they … More Sending love and sympathy
It’s been a lovely week, despite an unusual sequence of rainy days. Visitors detest rainy days on Maui because there isn’t much for them to do, but those of us who live here relish the rain, especially those of us who live on the south (dry) side of the island. Our gardens are dusty, our … More Merry Christmas
It’s been such a long time since I’ve inked up my Medallion stamp. I still love it just as much as I did the first time I laid eyes on it, but it seems there has been a lot of competition for my time in the stamp room. The other day I decided to give … More Thanks so much, Medallion
Someone may have to pry the Smooch Spritz out of my hands…I think I’ve become dangerous. A definite case of “More is More”, and I’m not convinced it’s a good thing: Vintage Vogue and Medallion Stamp sets; Very Vintage Wheel Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Close to Cocoa card stock Pretty in … More All spritzed up and nowhere to go
Ballet Blue. All by itself it’s a lovely shade of blue. I wear that color and I’ve decorated with that color. But I seldom make cards with Ballet Blue. Not exactly sure why but there you have it. Medallion, En Francais and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets Ballet Blue, Pale Plum, and Whisper White card … More A Fond Farewell to Ballet Blue
I know I’ve said that if I could take only one stamp set to a desert island I would take Vintage Vogue, but if I could take only one stamp all by it’s lonesome I would take Medallion. Medallion, French Script and Linen (retired) background stamps; Teeny Tiny Wishes Whisper White, Mellow Moss, Not Quite … More One stamp, a thousand cards
In my humble opinion, the Medallion stamp is one of the best values in the Stampin’ Up! catalog. It can be a background or a focal point, it can be a single image or multiple layers, and it works in any color you can imagine. Not only that, but it is really fun to dress … More Love You Much
Kellie came over this morning to stamp. We spent the first 15 minutes stalking the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Web site, trying to figure out if our shipments were going to make it to Maui today. The delivery confirmation looked promising, but I’ve been disillusioned by these things before so I remained skeptical. Kellie, though, is … More CASE-ing the morning away
If I had to choose only a few stamps to work with, Medallion would be very near the top of the list. It’s elegant, it’s symmetrical, it’s layerable, and it looks great even if you cut part of the image off. There are so many ways to embellish it, and it looks wonderful all by … More Ah, Medallion!
It’s rare that I see a completed card in my head before I start it but that was the case with this card. Some of the details came along as I worked, but I saw that Medallion on the front of the tri-fold and knew it would work. Medallion, Wonderful Favorites, and All Holidays stamp … More A Medallion Tri-fold
