FMS 138 - Serene Silhouettes

I like to keep  masculine cards at hand, as I never know when I might need one. For today's Freshly Made Sketch challenge I prepared a masculine all occasions card with the beautiful Serene Silhouette stamp set, which I am happy that is not going anywhere other than the new catalog, scheduled to launch June 2nd! Are you ready?


Did you like my card? I hope you have enjoyed visiting today and I look forward to your next visit.

Happy Stamping

DSC 84 - Daydream Medallions


DSC#084 (1)


Do you ever daydream? Well, I do and I do it a lot. It is a soothing feeling that can take me places, and to "visit" people that I have not seen in a while. Today's Dostamper Stars challenge has nothing to do with daydreaming, except that I used the Daydream Medallions stamp set. I think this card can be used for an anniversary card, don't you?

Thank you for taking the time to visit today. I wish you a fantastic day and much to celebrate and daydream about!

Happy Stamping!

Miriam Castanho Bollinger


Tips & Tricks:
  • When doing a double border in a cardstock, I make sure to center the paper rather than starting on one of its side. This way I will have mirror image on both edges.  
  • The bow was made using My Bow Maker, which ensures a perfect bow every time!

RS 116 - Beautiful Wings



It has been a while since I last used my Beautiful Wings embossilits. It makes such delicate butterflies that I just need to keep it more handy. The Retro Sketch challenge that was posted on Saturday is simple enough that I can add the little butterflies and keep my final card clean and simple. Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for visiting today and do come back again. I cherish your visits and your comments. Take a moment and share your thoughts with me.

Happy Stamping,

Miriam Castanho Bollinger

    Fusion Dinner is Served - Loving Thoughts



    Dinner is served is the theme for the Fusion challenge this week. If dinner is served, we may as well make a lovely celebration out of it. I got inspired by both the color combo, music sheets, and sketch, to arrive at an Anniversary card. The sentiment is from Loving Thoughts, which is retiring. Dinner is served, card is made, lots to celebrate, call it a night!

    Thank you for visiting. Take a moment, if you may, to share your thoughts with me. I read, enjoy, and appreciate each and every one of them.

    Happy Stamping,

    Miriam Castanho Bollinger

    Tips & Tricks:
    • I used painters tape to cover the stamp, so I stamped only one word at a time. I used the Word Window punch to cut each one and add that special touch with the Essential Hardware clip.
