I have another card from the fun and funky set I made. I have wanted to try embossing on patterned paper. I think the Upsy Daisy stamp from Stampin’ Up is perfect for that. I had the Jersey Shore patterned paper and hadn’t used it much so I thought I would give it a try with this stamp. I think the way it turned out was pretty cool. What do you think?

I guess you are wondering what happened to me. Well my daughters kept me really busy during the holidays.

I understand how busy she is but I will miss participating as this was…

I am so glad they did not retire this set as I love using this set in the fall and winter. You can create some beautiful cards with this set. The first card I cased was created by Jenn D. I loved how she…
