Fifth Avenue Floral

Fifth Avenue Floral and Stampin’ Up!’s Manhattan collection are definitely my favorite right now.  I saw this pretty card in Stampin’ Success, Stampin’ Up!’s monthly magazine for demonstrators, and decided to make my own pretty paper like the Baja Breeze one from the Urban Oasis dsp.  All it took was some whisper white inked roses on some…

Gift cards

I made this notecard set as a gift for my friend.  The Summer Love rub-ons were perfect for the front of this clear box I purchased from Paper Trey Ink.  I made four cards with the Walk in the Park DSP, Summer Love rub-ons, and Matchbox sizzix die and some of the new pretty whisper…

Scallop Bag Treat holder

I made these quick and easy little treat holders with the Scallop bag Sizzix die.  I punched a hole in the middle and placed a clear window sheet behind.  I used the new Soft Summer stamp set in old olive on the certainly celery and cut out the riding hood red flower on pink pirouette….

Crystal Effects will appear “cloudy” as it is applied but it will dry to a crystal clear sheen. The favorite way stampers like to use this product is…
