Another Purse!

I think I'm addicted to making these now. The second one went MUCH faster than the first. I think I have this figured out now. If you're interested in making these, email me for the directions.

Fabulous giveaway!

I read many other wonderful stamping blogs and here's one that's giving away stuff! Visit Sarah and the Stamp Stars to enter!

Too Darn CUTE!

So, since my kids are all sick today, I was off to Walgreens to stock up on medicine. I was walking through the magazine section when I spotted this magazine called Stamp It! It's the Spring 2007 issue. I started looking and saw this adorable purse box with matching notecards. I just had to buy the magazine and come home and make it. Mine is a little different, but close. I used the Paisley stamp from the Polka Dots & Paisley stamp set with Versamark ink on the Pretty in pink cardstock. Then I stamped the K from my Headline alphabet set and framed the letter with the stamp from Lable Classics. I just think this is cute. The purse easily holds 6 note cards and 6 envelopes!

Polka Dots & Paisley

Here's a card I made playing around with some new stuff. I used the Jumbo Petals Wheel from the Spring Mini for the background with Pretty in Pink Ink. Then I stamped the flower from the Polka Dot & Paisely stamp set using Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Taken with Teal Markers. I used Old Olive for the stem. I added these cute little Rhinestones I found in the Dollar section at my local JoAnn's.

No time to stamp

Hello everyone. Sorry for not posting anything. My daughter had her tonsils out a week ago and life has been hectic! My oldest son started soccer practice last week, and now is home sick. I have a bunch of new stamps and accessories coming soon, so I hope to be able to play soon! In the meantime, if you have a card you'd like to see me post on my blog, please email it to me in jpeg format! I'd love to showcase your work.

Artifacts

I don't know why I haven't used my Inspiration sheets before to create these wonderful cards! All of these cards can be created by using the following:

• Artifacts Stamp set




• Sincere Salutations Stamp set




• Always Artichoke cardstockand ink




• Chocolate Chip Cardstock and ink




• Bravo Burgundy Cardstock and ink




• Mellow Moss cardstock




• Kraft Cardstock




• Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon




• Hodgepodge Hardware kit




• Antique Brass Eyelets

Circle Punch Card

Here's a very cool card idea that my downline Judy shared with me. I did vary it a bit. I used different size circle punches to punch out the different colors. I used Appricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Lavender Lace, and mounted them on black cardstock. Then I used my Souffle gel pens to outline each circle. Then I used the Word Window punch to punch out a piece of Appricot Appeal and took the letters from Alphabits to make the "thanks" part. It is a super cool card!

Simple Scrappin' Cards

I just love using the Simply Scrappin' kits to create quick and easy cards. Here are a few examples using the Party Pieces Kit. I have been able to create 60 cards from this one kit, with the edition of 30 sheets of colored cardstock for the bases! I even have sticker left over and cardstock to make 2- 6x6 scrapbook pages! This will be one of the options for my upcoming Stamp camp in April.
