Stampin' Up!
A belated Valentine’s Day greeting
The Sweet Talk DSP is probably my all-time favorite Valentine’s Day DSP that Stampin’ Up! has created. I didn’t think I’d like it, but when I started playing with it to make cards, I fell in love! All my Valentine cards were made with this Sweet Talk DSP. So a belated Happy Valentine’s Day to […]

Happy Birthday with Fall Trees and Wood planks
This birthday card was another of the ones I created for my Sip ‘n Stamp evening. I love the varied leaf colors with this Beauty of the Earth DSP sheet. I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and dry embossed the front with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. It’s hard to see in […]

Memories of Yesterday for FMS482
