Throwback Thursday: Handmade Sympathy Cards
Today’s Throwback Thursday features one of the handmade sympathy cards I made four years ago. Beautiful texture comes from running the background Vanilla Top Note shape through an embossing folder and then softly sponging the relief with some ink. The soft palette is a nice combo for a sympathy card, don’t you think? The colors used are shown below. […]
Going Global World Traveler & Tax Relief

DIY Christmas Card Sunday: Wonderland
It’s time for DIY Christmas Card Sunday again, and today I’m featuring one of the popular Stampin’ Up! retired stamps from last year, Wonderland. I love this stamp set, so you won’t find it on my Retired Rubber Stamps page. 🙂 At least, not yet. I’m not sure I want to part with it because it […]
