Rustic Carols of Christmas Card

I just love this card! I had such a good time making it for my team to make at our monthly meeting. Our monthly meetings have to be one of my favorite events each month. I love getting together with my stamping friends to stamp and share what we've done throughout the month, and show them ways to grow their stamping!

Can you see the bit of sponging around the greeting and the loops of Copper Thread? I love the subtle little touches like that.


And a video on how I made it. There is a supply list below the video, so be sure to check that out too. You can get any of those supplies, or anything else you might need, through my online store just by clicking on the image of the item.

Happy Stamping!

Perfect Peacock Birthday

I went to our monthly group meeting last night, where we always have a swap. I thought I'd share with you what I made!

I just love the Perfect Peacock stamp set! However,  I was out of whisper white card stock to stamp and color the whole image on. Sigh.... So, I had to get creative! **enter sarcastic "oh, darn!" here**

So, I used crumb cake for my base, and stamped the image in black. I stamped it again on white scraps I had laying around and colored it in with my Blendabilities markers. Then I punched it out with the 2 1/2" circle punch. I carefully lined the image up over the uncolored one on crumb cake, and stuck it on with dimensionals. That created a bright focal point, which we call the Spotlighting Technique. I then used the sentiment from Apothecary Art, punched the edges with the Banner punch, and added rhinestones for some bling.
Ta da! A beautiful card!

Catalog Tabs!

With every new catalog I find that I want tabs on it to make it even easier to find what I'm looking for. So I made some and thought you might want some too!

 I made them for all the categories in the catalog, but you can just punch and use the ones you want if you don't want them all.Just use the link below to download the PDF and print them on regular printer paper. After punching with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, just fold them in half and put them on with SNAIL or Fast Fuse. Easy and done!

Card Class Results!

We had another great card class this month! I always enjoy the classes, having other stampers come over and the conversations. Not to mention the cards we make! This month we focused on birthdays. Here are the finished cards.

This one uses two of our Sale-A-Bration items, the Everyday Enchantment DSP and Elementary Elegance stamp set.

I love the Twitterpated DSP we used on this one! We also used the Happiest Birthday set.

Yellow and blue has been my favorite combo lately, so we did this one with Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy. The stamp set is Vintage Vogue.

Soft and subtle was to feel of this card. This one also uses a Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Fresh Vintage.

Happy Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's day.  The day we like to express our love to one another.  We spend tons of money buying things like cards, flowers and gifts for each other.  Well, this year, I made those things for my lovies.  Okay, I haven't made flowers for them, but there is still time for that!  Here are some of the cards that we made at Stamp-a-Stack and at a private class. I love them and couldn't wait to give the ones I made to my family!
