Sweet Candy Cane Bundle is the focus of this month’s Border Buddy PDF Tutorial. I love creating the cards for the tutorial. It reminds me of my early days when I first became a demonstrator. My intention was to get a discount on some paper crafting products for my daughter. Little did I know 25 years later it would be my life long career and passion.
Before stamping I would purchases boxes of cards to send. Just having cards to choose from made me happy. When a occasion came up that I needed a card I would finger through the cards to select the perfect card and saying.
It wasn’t long before I realized I could create my own cards customized specifically for the recipient. How much more personal can it get. If you too are a card lover and have never tried stamping cards you really should. You will never forget the feeling you will have when you finish your first card. Often times I have that same excitement and fulfillment when I stamp a card I particularly love.
I would love to have you share your first experience with stamping!

It was 40+ years ago that I went to a crafts show here in Lafayette, LA. I saw someone doing demos at a booth and went to see what she was doing. That was my introduction to making cards and real stamping. The woman was so happily working away while talking about what she was doing and she and her husband were such kind, gentle and patient, friendly people that I wanted to be able to create beauty, as well. I was in touch with them until they retired and I will always miss them. I carry them in my heart and prayers always.
Over the years I’ve met some of the nicest people through stamping and, now, in the past several years, I met Patsy Waggoner and she is so like the first people I met so many years ago. She has the patience of Job and I love her. I carry her in my heart and prayers always.
Thanks so much Vivian for sharing. It is amazing how much you can care about someone you have never meet in person. I too hold you dear and near to my heart!!!
