Baby Cards


Ok, I admit this isn't one of my favorite stamp sets BUT... I have to admit these cards a pretty cute. I may have an order for them. I LOVE love l-o-v-e the way the lamb looks with the liquid applique. I even a little dazzling diamonds glitter to the liquid applique while it was still wet. Oh, so stinkin' cute!

I have lots to post...


I am going to try and post something new every day until I am caught up! Yes, as always, I have been stamping up a storm! Wait until this week is over, you will be amazed as to how much I have done.

So, this is my Valentine's Day card for my husband. He's got a great appreciation for... um... tushies... so when I saw the template for this card, I knew that would be the one for him!

Now, you can also make another card and the missing parts are the... girls :) There's very little stamping to this card. Simple and fun, just the way I like it!

Stamp Sets: Happy Heart Day and Year Round Fun
Paper: Blush Blossom and a scrap of left over Dashing Designer Paper

Gum Wrapper


I may have an order for 80 of these! I thought I would share! When you pull the ribbon up (while holding the wrapper part), you expose a pack of Eclipse gum. This is a gift for teachers during their "Teacher Appreciation" week in February. I am waiting to see if this particular layout will be approved.

It's one of the things I made for the recent Craft Fairs that the customers couldn't get enough of. I have made others too... I will post a little later as hubby wants some quality time.

Recipe:

Stamp set(s): Year Round Fun,
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Old Olive, Real Red, Kraft, Whisper White
Ink: Stazon, Versamark
Accessories: Watercolor Crayons & Aqua Painter, Real Red Ribbon, Crop-A-Dile, Scallop Punch, 1/16" hole punch, and my computer to print out the "black board"

Valentine's box


Need a new way to store your cards? How about this adorable box, just in time for Valentine's Day Cards? You can store your cards in this box, displaying your favorite up-front, of course.

I think it's adorable!

I used my computer to print out the banner. I stamped the scene with the new Happy Heart Day stamp set. I stamped all the flowers and cut them out...

It's been awhile...

I swear I am alive! I have been stamping my little heart out getting ready for 3 craft fairs. One thing that I have found... I sold out almost every time! Here's one project for you. I am planning on creating a website so people can actually order my projects.

I did a class with Kimberly. She did an Advent Calendar. At another class, a lady brought her "inspiration" from the Advent Calendar Class. It was a little different then this... but the concept was the "tree" and taking magnets off of it when the day was over. I wanted to use other types of materials to stamp on but the store I frequent was out of the wooden circles in the right size. Anyway, you can see I did use mirrors and wooden squares.

This was not only a fun project to do, it sold super fast at my last craft show. I will be making more of these in the future!
