The Caruso Manner: August 2007
http://thecarusomanner.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Catch A Falling Star and Put in Your Pocket. Today is our BIG push to support the GinaK Make A Wish Foundation Set. We do not sell these stamps at Flourishes,llc; but certainly recognize the need for all of us to be conscious of others needs. I unfortunately have spent too many day and nights in hospitals and have seen some truly sick people, especially children. We all can make a difference, and sometimes it is as easy as buying a stamp set. Gina K. The Star image was stamped...

The Caruso Manner: Fantasy Floral Garden--More Beautiful Images
http://thecarusomanner.blogspot.com/2007/09/fantasy-floral-garden-more-beautiful.html
Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Fantasy Floral Garden- More Beautiful Images. I used three colors in my card, then began to cut the paper and stamp the images. I find that the Hybrid Palette Inks work especially well with our Flourishes stamps sets. These very high grade polymer stamps are made in the USA and while they have a tendency to stain and will never be completely without color after use, they stamp beautifully. Ciao from the Atelier at Flourishes! September 20, 2007 at 10:01 PM. View my complete...

The Caruso Manner: Than You -Simple, Elegant, Quick
http://thecarusomanner.blogspot.com/2007/09/than-you-simple-elegant-quick.html
Thursday, September 13, 2007. Than You -Simple, Elegant, Quick. I needed a really quick and easy thank you card, but I did not want to sacrifice any elegance. My mind was set to whirling and I settled on a punch from Impress, used a vellum tag and then the small two hole punch from SU! Now, that's quick, easy, and elegant. Now back to work on my Christmas tree card.this is one you won't want to miss. So I am going back to work in the Atelier and getting it to post. Ciao. Your card is quite elegant!

The Caruso Manner: May 2007
http://thecarusomanner.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. RAK for a Peach of a Pair. This card was created as a RAK for a special lady, Nicole Seitler. Then watercolored. I used the wonderful Prisma color pencils to add the brightness and punch. The striped paper and background are from Basic Grey, Blitzen series. I know this was last year's Christmas papers, but the unusual color combination made my heart sing. I am so NOT afraid of color. The rest of the card was simple, I incorporated Stampin' Up! Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Stamps. I ...

The Caruso Manner: Fantasy Florals Sympathy
http://thecarusomanner.blogspot.com/2007/09/fantasy-florals-sympathy.html
Monday, September 10, 2007. For today's image I used the newly released Fantasy Floral Garden by Flourishes, llc. I also wanted to do the SCS challenge on limited supplies-Sympathy. This required the card to be a sympathy card and must include the use of a background stamp. The challenge further pushed the stampers as no decorative papers could be used nor could an embossed image us a stencil or folder. So here's my card, I meet all the requirements. So from the Atelier, Ciao for today. All content (incl...

Creating stamps for this kind of fun has been almost uncharted. I wanted to give our stampers the greates.

Of colors and inks including the new Copic. Pens The little icicles. After...

The Caruso Manner: Simply Peace
http://thecarusomanner.blogspot.com/2007/09/simply-peace.html
Monday, September 17, 2007. Hello from the Atelier,. This was easy work for such a beautiful card. I was inspired by Sharon Johnson, notimetostamp, one of our Design Team Members. I used a decorative paper called Holiday Swirl. The color matches SU Rose Red perfectly. The card base is a metallic paper called Carmel and is available at Flourishes,llc. This set makes such beautiful cards and is ideal for someone that is seeking elegance and simplicity in an easy to do format. September 19, 2007 at 11:33 AM.
