Thanks music.



Hello my dear Readers,

I am out of town this week at violin camp with my daughter and it has been a fantastic week. It is such a wonderful experience to see the small children playing such beautiful music. It does fill our hearts with hope for a better world with more tolerance and love.

I did prepare a card and want to share it with you today for the Dostamper Stars 191. If you have not spent much time looking at the catalog and making your wish list, I urge you to do so. The new sets are absolutely gorgeous and very versatile. Look at the May Flower framelit and Falling Flowers stamp set. They are absolutely beautiful and paired up with the Touches of Textures, makes this card perfect. Now, for some step-by-step.

I did not want to cut the cardstock base, instead I created the semi-oval looks using the leaves from the Falling Flowers. Then, I stamped all the perimeter with the Touches of Texture stamp set. The flowers and bud were stamped and cut using the matching framelit. The sentiment is from the Gifts of Love stamp set, which I cut using the Triple Banner Punch. The top flower was adhered using dimensionals and Rhinestones were added to the center of the flowers for that special "bling" effect. Voilá.

There are more inspiration for this challenge and you can see them all by visiting the other Dostamper Stars. Thank you for your visit. I look forward to seeing you again. Be well

Gift of Love



Summer is really upon us, but it seems to be moving all too fast. Perhaps it is just because I am so busy. We have been enjoyed having many friends over and making great summer memories. That leaves little time to play in my craft room, and next week it will be impossible as I will be in violin camp with my daughter. It is a wonderful experience and she loves every moment of it.


Miriam Castanho-Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, dsc, thank you, gift of love stamp set, elegant dots tief, big shot, labels collection, su

Today's card was made with lots of people in mind as I have many in my life that make us feel loved. They are special people that fill our lives and spread happiness whatever they go. The set used here is the Gift of Love stamp set. The Dostamper Start challenge 190 calls for any set that is exclusive for hostess and this jumped on me, so what can I say, I put it to use. The texture on the Garden Green is Elegant Dots TIEF and notice that I raised the front panel so the image is set back making a nice frame for the image and sentiment. The ribbon is in Flirty Flamingo and a perfect bow to go with that.

Hope you are enjoying your summer and finding time to let your creative juices flow too. There are more inspiration for this challenge and you can see them all by visiting the other Dostamper Stars. Thank you for your visit. I look forward to seeing you again. Be well

Oh, the bouquet.



My, oh my, the summer this year is for real and we are loving it. I am having a hard time playing in my craft room as it is in my basement and the sun calls my name if I go there. So, I play outside instead. I work in my garden, we all swim, we have friends over, and we all have a fantastic time.

Miriam Castanho-Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, dsc, wedding card, swirly bird stamp set, flourishing phrases stamp set, big shot, swirly scribbles thinlits,su

I spent some time in my craft room doing commissioned work and also some projects. I always enjoy my time in my craft room. Today, I prepare this card using the Swirly Bird stamp set and the matching thinlits Swirly Scribbles. This set is fantastic. The card is inspired in the DSC 189 and I chose to go with the same Wedding cards I have been working on. The sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases and I love the whimsical aspect of it. Pearls were added to the center of the flowers that I popped up and I love how it all came together with the lovely Mint Macaron ribbon.

Thank you for visiting today. Please do visit the other Dostamper Stars to get more inspiration on today's challenge. Be well

I am not ready.



Not ready for Christmas. I am enjoying this nice summer weather so much that I have no desire to think about Christmas as this brings the brutal cold weather again. I want to enjoy the warmth as much as possible.

Miriam Castanho-Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, dsc, all occasions card, flourishing phrases stamp set, picture perfect stamp set, touches of texture, big shot, flourish thinlits, su

Nonetheless, I love the color combo for the Dostamper stars 188; I just could not bring myself to think of Christmas. Instead I use the colors to create a card that represents summer itself. The images comes from the Flourishing Phrases, Picture Perfect, and Touch of Texture stamp sets. Now, I did cut the Cherry Cobbler flower using the Flourish Framelits and adhered them to the stamped images. I like that effect and will certainly use the idea again. This card can be used to many occasions, and I love flexibility like that. Love it.

Thank you so much for your visit. Sorry that I have been a bit off, but life is busy and the children grow too fast.  Visit the other Dostamper Stars to get more inspirations for today's challenge. Be well
