Do you know the trick to get your background paper to the right proportions? You load it on a punched area and then click on the re-size button to zoom in or out. It is my favorite MDS find so far. Don’t forget to click on the image for the full view.

I’m making this card for a swap and it turned out so cute I couldn’t wait to share! So sorry to any swappers that may check out my site. If you like surprises… oops!

I actually used a retired stamp set for this one. It was my first try and it was the only thing I had to scale. The micro-beads actually sparkle a lot but the photograph doesn’t capture it.

The charms are featured in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.There are other sizes available.This particular one is the size of a dime(if you squared it off of course). Click on the image below to view the details.

If you look close at the presents, you’ll see that I stamped them on DSP(Designer Series Paper) and cut out the middle package. Don’t forget to try this fun technique! You can you use any outlined stamp image.

You’re the first to see! I JUST finished putting this on the wall and had to post my success. If I could make one recommendation, it is to take it slow. Do not rush the process. If you purchase Decor Elements from me, I will come over and help you apply it. Do you want some of your own?!

Now is a great time to make a purchase! Have you been waiting to stock up on supplies? Do it now! From now until March 31st you will get to chose one FREE SAB product of your choice with every $50 purchase! This year that includes an additional selection of items from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. See page 11 of the SAB Brochure (click on the 1st photo)

If you’re bored with the Idea Book & Catalog, check out the 2010 Occasions Mini (click on the 2nd photo). It features the new clear-mount stamps. That’s a rubber stamp on a clear block. Also featuring the new punch style (this is a change from the supplier). Check it out. There are just too many things for me to list. I could go on and on.

I stamped these during what I call THERAPY. I picked a set and found a few cards to CASE from various sites. I cased the first one from Kristy Barra and the second one from someone on SCS. I left off the words because I wasn’t sure what I wanted it to say just yet. I like that these cards turned out so nice yet they are so simple. Just cardstock, dsp, ink and ribbon.

Another great sample card from the 2010 Occasions Mini. This one was created by my friend Jolene. Love it!
