I look forward to all your posts, Mary.. Your cards are clean, uncluttered, crisp and the color combos are always so attractive. Thanks ,Jan
Thank you, Jan! Your kind words mean so much. Clean, crisp designs (with a pop of color) are my happy place! Mary
Best part of your posts is the way you present your tutorials – clear and precise. The really best part is a picture of the Stampin Up box that the stamps come in. Trying to figure out if I was the “pretty and fancy” stamp set, I can look at the picture and see that I do or don’t have it. Then getting to see all the “pals” ideas is a real bonus. Your site is my favorite one and the one I always check first!!!
Dot, You just made my day! I’m so glad the pictures and tutorials make it easier (and more fun!) to find what you have and get inspired. The Pals and I love sharing ideas with you! Mary
I love the idea of making cards using the retired stamp sets, not just the new ones.
Thank you for in luding them in your posts.
Thank you! I love giving my archived projects new life—they still have so much creative potential! 💖 So glad you enjoy seeing them included!
