Market Fresh

Here's another card made with the Market Fresh stamp set. I pulled out the matching DSP called Farmers Market and it has this really cool wood grain print. LOVE IT! I used a base of Soft Suede and a panel of the DSP I used a square of Whisper White to stamp my image in Basic Black. I colored it in with the retired Blendabilities markers. (I need to use them before they...

Thoughts and Prayers

I finally broke down and ordered a sympathy style set. I liked this one for its versatility, and it comes with a lot of sayings and sentiments. I like that. I can also use the tree or the flower stem for other non sympathy style cards by just changing up the sentiments. I'm all about getting the most from one set. I started with a base of Cherry Cobbler, and added a...

BROKE STAMPERS UNITE

Hello and welcome to this weeks Broke Stampers Unite post. This week the topic is Techniques, and for this technique we are doing masking tape/painters tape technique. It was a new thing for me.

Dragonfly

Happy Sunday.... I was playing around with different looks and this one came out! It wasn't good for what I was needing at the time but I thought it would make a nice daily post submission.  It's all straight forward stamping. I used a bit of marker on the background flower, then I used markers for the dragonfly. Sorry for the short post......I'm running on a crazy...

Welcome to this weeks edition of Broke Stampers Unite. This weeks topic is Fall or Halloween. I went for more of Halloween. The stamp set I used is called Sweet Hauntings, and again this was a challenge for me because it's not really a traditional Halloween set but more of a treat packaging set. So I have to try or stretch a bit harder to make cards  with this. Soooooooo...
