The Silver Stamper

  Hey, Stampers -      I wish I could say these bunny ears were my idea, but I saw a similar idea on Pinterest, here .  Of course, I had to change it up to hiding bunnies. I used the large Daisy punch for the ears.  I'll probably add some bling to the background - sequins, pearls, SU! Fun Flowers Resin Shapes, etc., any would be cute.  The greeting is from DRS Designs.     If you don't have the fringe-cutting scissors, it really looks just as cute, and a little faster to make, with just a couple of layers of curved-edge cardstock with the bunnies tucked in between. You can also use just about any embossing folder for the background - I just happened to have this pre-embossed piece of So Saffron in my scraps basket. Cardstock is SU!: Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz.  Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

  Hello, again, stampin' friends.     This simple card can also be used as an anniversary or even BFF card. First, on watercolor cardstock, using Stampin' Up! ink pads and the Aqua Painter (now called Water Painters), I created a washed landscape-type background.  The trees are from the Snowfront SU! stamp set, stamped in Gorgeous Grape.       I die cut a heart "window" with an older SU! hearts die set on white cardstock and mounted it over the watercolor background piece.  I stamped the rabbits with Versafine Clair Nocturne (black) ink and the hearts with red.  Rabbits:  Lavinia Stamps Wild Hares (large) set.

Hello, Again -       Another sweet Valentine or anniversary card using Lavinia Stamps.  This card was super simple and uses just two stamps!  The rest is all from Lavinia Stamps' Misty Morning Scene Scapes.  The Lavinia Stamps I used are Willow Arch and Star Gazing.     If you'd like to know where I purchase my Lavinia Stamps in the US, leave a comment below.

Good afternoon, Stampers!     Thought I'd share a couple of Valentine-themed projects this weekend.  All of the stamps are by Lavinia Stamps, including the background text, and stamped with VersaFine Clair inks.  The "boat" is colored with Stampin' Blends.  The background scene is also from Stampin' Up! -  6x6 New Horizons DSP.     I'll post another one or two tomorrow or Monday.

  Hello, Stampers!     I've been playing around again.  I know it's past the time these little mice would be finding their Christmas tree, but I've seen this clever idea a couple of times online and had to CASE.  However, I did add my own extra features to the story - the figures in the background.     The inks I brushed and sponged are a combination of Versafine Claire, Stampin' Up! and Distress Oxide. The stamp sets are below.   Happy Stampin'!

  Hello, Stampers!     I may be leaving Stampin' Up! but I'm definitely still stamping.  This winter fantasy scene is my CAS from a Lavinia Stamps YouTube video tutorial (a couple of years ago!) by Tracey Dutton, founder of Lavinia Stamps. I stamped and sponged this winter night/"snow wreath" scene on Multifarious Smooth Cardstock with Versafine Clair Inks - Twilight, Warm Breeze and some accents in Blue Belle, with a little Morning Mist.  The only other accents were made with a white gel pen and a glitter gel pen.
