Peaceful Moments — Blog — Great Stamping with Connie

If you are looking for some great DSP for any crafting project, you can’t beat the 6 x 6 inch Assortments.

Embossed Sponging

I love playing with ink techniques, and this is an easy one the gives awesome results. There are several ways to ‘ink’ a piece of embossed cardstock, this is just one.

Peaceful Poppy Moments

The Peaceful Moments stamp set and Poppy Moments Dies have been available for almost a year, and although I played with them a lot when they first came out, they have been sitting on the shelf for a while - until today.

Sympathy Cards

I needed to make some sympathy cards, so decided to make four cards to share with you today.

House In The Woods

A friend of mine moved to Cape Breton this summer. She and her husband bought a house on several acres of land, in the woods. Perhaps not to everyones tastes, but it suits them.

Forever Blossoms at GGAW

This past weekend was our Girls Get Away Weekend. What a fantastic time spent with wonderful women. We crafted, chatted, ate great food, laughed, supported and encouraged each other and had an amazing time together.
We made a side step card using the Forever Blossoms stamp set, and I had some alternate projects using the same supplies. Here is one of the alternate cards.
