The Silver Stamper

Hi, Stampers!      If you missed Stamp Camp today, here's one of the - not as tedious as it looks - cards we created.  Last month, I saw a version of this framed stained glass idea on France Martin's blog (Frenchiestamps.com) and knew I had to attempt it.  It was easier than I thought, especially since I changed up and/or eliminated several steps and enlarged France's measurements a little to make it easier.  So, let's get started! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Measurements Very Vanilla Thick CS (you could use any color you like) - 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2, scrap large enough to cut oval for sentiment and small die cut for inside, approx 3 x 2 Whisper White - 3-1/4"- 3-1/2" square Wood Textures DSP - 3-1/2" square and a second piece 3" or 3-1/4" square (3-1/4" will provide a wider top frame Graceful Glass Vellum - I used one 3x3 from a 6x6 sheet

Hi, STAMPERS!      The Stampin' Up!® Holiday Catalog is LIVE!  So many great stamp sets, kits, suites, bundles and accessories to choose.  Just click the Holiday Catalog image in my sidebar to browse online.  When you order, don't forget to redeem your Bonus Coupons!

Hi, Stampers!      I apologize for the fuzzy image above.  This is the only one I could find online at this point.  You can see this Project Kit (yep, it's a kit) on p.33 in the Holiday Catalog.  Click the above image for a video of what's in the kit and helpful info. The cards are quite elegant and sophisticated, the stamp font is bold and pretty and, of course, can be used in the future.  I wanted to offer this stamp-a-stack option to you early, since once the catalog goes live on Wednesday, I think this kit is going to go fast - I've already seen it featured on several blogs.  

Hi, Stampers!      This is the 4th we created at August Stamp Camp.  Being a big fan of palm trees and tropical climes (except here in Indiana), I just love this Bundle and the coordinating DSP.  Send me an email or comment for a FREE printable project sheet.  Let's get started!

Hi, Stampers!      This card was so easy to make and I already owned all of the products I used - always a plus.  You probably have most of them, too!   Let's get started.   Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Measurements Blackberry Bliss (or Black or Gorgeous Grape) CS for base - 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2; additional piece 4" x at least 2" to die-cut houses and scrap of black or Black Foil for bat Mango Melody CS - 5-1/4 x 4 Very Vanilla CS - 5-1/4 x 4 for inside
