For The Digital Stamp User

Do you love Digi Stamps? Have you ever thought of Stampin' Up! for digi stamps? Stampin' Up! has a great digital scrapbooking program called My Digital Studio. They offer a lot of different options for your digital scrapbooking needs. One of the options offered is Stamp Brush Sets. Stamp brush sets can be used as digi stamps. They are offered as downloads for MDS and for other applications.This means you don't have to purchase MDS to use them. You can use them in your other programs just like digi stamps you purchase from other online shops. The best thing about these downloads is you can get them for retired stamp sets. There are many stamps sets I would love to have, but buying them secondhand because they are retired and in high demand makes them too expensive. I can get most if not all of them in digital format. I can also get many new sets a a more budget friendly price. New downloads are offered every Tuesday. They can be ordered through my online store and downloaded immediately. No waiting for them to be delivered by UPS. Just remember this is digital merchandise and no physical stamps will be mailed.

Affordable classes for local customers

Hi Stampers, Cardmakers, and Scrapbookers! With all the layoffs in our area and job uncertainty, would you like to get away from it all for an hour or two and relax? Stamping, making cards and making simple scrapbook layouts are very relaxing to me. Would you like to join in? I would like to invite you to come and make some things with me. I will be keeping the cost down as much as possible so that it can be affordable. I would like to offer some $5.00 classes. You could come and make a simple scrapbook layout or a couple of cards. No additional purchase would be necessary. This would be a great chance to get away with friends for an hour or two, chat, and catch up. If you would like to arrange a class, please let me know. If you would like to hostess an event and have 5 or more confirmed and paid guests, I will provide your class materials for free. As a hostess, you can choose the project(s) we would be working on. I will be providing a handmade gift to every hostess no matter how many confirmed and paid guests you have.

Perfectly Penned Birthday

I love the Apothecary Accents framelits, but I wish they had two sets for each one.  I love to layer with my framelits.  I cut out the Happy Birthday sentiment with my framelit, but wanted to layer it on the same shape.  Then it hit me, trace around the outer edge of the framelit and fussy cut it out.  Doing this will give me so many more ways to use them.

Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper




I love the balloon pattern included in this collection.  I cut my Very Vanilla card base so that I had a one inch strip on the side to show off some balloons.  I love how you it can look different depending on which balloon colors are showing.  I used Coastal Cabana on the first card and Crisp Cantaloupe on the second one.
