Cheers!

Hi Everyone,

Since were staring 2022 right in the face, I'm celebrating the new year with this great new card sentiment, Best Year Cheers Greeting!  I love the fresh hope a new year brings. Whether you celebrate with adult beverages or sparkling water, whether you say cheers, prost, or salud, like the greeting says, Let's make the coming year the best!

For the first card I tried to go retro, using a martini embossing folder and some avocado colored flock along the side.  

Here I chose an embossing folder that has clocks, to play off of the idea of the countdown that happens on New Year's Eve. I added a fussy cut glass from the Pour Me Bottle and Glass stamp, and a recycled embellishment from a Christmas card I received. 

Cheers to 2022 and as much stamping as your heart desires!

Happy New Year!

Winter cards

Hi Everyone,

Do you know someone with a winter birthday?  Well, I have just the stamp for you!

Here is the new Ice Day Birthday Greeting that I paired up with some embossed mittens, to match up with the gloved portion of the sentiment.  After adding some gems, I need another embellishment to balance out the card, so I used a reverse image stamp and fussy cut a couple of mittens from the Raised Mittens Skip Winter Greeting.

I already needed some thank you cards for holiday gifts I've received, so out came a favorite stamp, the Blizzard of Thanks Greeting!  Just add any manner of snowflakes, and you have a cute card :)  Here I used Interlocking Snow Background and Simply Snowman.

Stop on over at DRS Designs to take advantage of the sale happening right now!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone,

Is it too early for a valentine card?  Not when I've got some new stamps to preview.  Be sure to pop on over to the DRS Designs store to see all of the new stamps beginning December 15th! 

Until then, this card features the new Candy Heart Background (1065G) stamp, which I stamped onto pink paper, coloring in the tiny hearts.  I added a die cut heart banner along with the new Double Line Happy Valentine's Day (1067G) for the greeting. 

All that was left was to add Leonard the Cupig, because he is just beyond adorable! I simply fussy cut him after he was colored up and I attached him with some dimensional tape.

DRS Designs is running a sale right now, so stop over and order what you need to get stamping!


Happy Holidays!

Merriest Wishes

  Hi Everyone,

I feel like I'm finally into the swing of things for this holiday season!  My house is decorated for Christmas, and we hosted friends for games and snacks on Saturday night.  During all this, holiday music has been playing in the background, and I'm sure the song Silver Bells had to have come up at least once in the rotation.

I stamped, colored and die cut the Bells Holly and Bow image for my card, and tried to color them to appear silver.  Taking inspiration from the colored image, I embossed a die cut piece of yellow cardstock and layered it onto a background that was stamped, and silver embossed using the Interlocking Snow Background.

For the greeting, I used the new Merriest Wishes Greeting, die cutting it and embellishing it with a bit

 of sponging. To finish it off, I added a few punched holly leaves and berry gems. 

If you're looking for a few stamping goodies for yourself, DRS Designs is running a customer appreciation sale just for you!  

Happy Holidays!
