The Perfect Gift!


I was invited to the wedding of a couple who were co-habitating for years. The last thing they needed was another George Foreman grill. This Shadow box was the perfect way to display keepsakes of their special day!









This is the simple 5 minute "need a card now " fix. Minimal stamping required.

Not Just Paper!


Slipper Bag

The perfect gift I mailed my Mother In-Law.
Something she can use, and show people at the same time.
I stamped a flower ( no ink required)into velvet fabric. I then sewed up the sides and used a braided cord to make a draw-string. An iron-on patch created extra embellishment. Creating a simple card from the same stamp and including a set of slippers made a simple gift. I'm not as talented as she thinks just a little ingenuity.

Not Just Paper !

Made with love, and a small time comittment

These scarfs were done as a class, I took pictures of each scarf to show all the different looks.
We made cards similar to my previous post, and a paper gift bag a complete package for Mother's Day, or a present to spoil yourself should you choose. Its hard to believe such a beautiful hand made gift could be created in an hour and a half. Job well done ladies!


To the left is a simple leaf pattern. Created with one stamp in several fall colors.












Here is seaside scape using coral colors and shells.













Here is an example with Sunfllower's
This is a two step stamp set(laying a stamp over top of another) looks fancy. This customer had hardly any stamping experience.








Here is a simple yet beautiful example of a little goes a long way. One leaf in 3 colors, an alternating pattern. This person had never stamped before. We were quite impressed.

April Showers Bring May Flowers





Cards for Mom's
I call this card template my 5 minute fancy. Takes 5, and its fancy!


Simple yet beautiful using one color & one large background stamp, these cards can be made by a stamper of any level. They will be enjoyed for much longer than the time it took to make them.
