The Silver Stamper

REMINDER - LAST DAY TO BUY 3 Get 1 FREE DSP SALE See my post of August 27 Happy Fall, Stampers!      Hope you DO have Fall weather - we are back to Summer here.  High 80's - good day to stay inside and stamp - looking for inspiration for simple cards and creating samples for my Christmas stamp-a-stack.      We made this easy late Summer, early Fall, or masculine card at my September Stamp Camp.  There is a simple reason for the layout - the Very Vanilla card front is the full width of the Birch background stamp.  ;-)  Find details here . . .  very easy.

Hi, Stampers!      This is the second project using the Beautiful Friendship set from my September stamp camp.  Another easy one, suitable for any occasion, and with one of my favorite color combinations, blue and yellow.  Details follow. Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

Hello there, Stampers!      Another card from September stamp camp.  I love, love this photographic Pressed Petals Specialty DSP, which perfectly coordinates with the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape.        You will need a Very Vanilla card base 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2.  Mossy Meadow CS, 5 x 3-3/4 and scrap for leaves; two pieces DSP, 5 x 3-3/4 and 2 x 4-1/2; Petals Washi and Flower Centers.       We used the Classic Label punch for the sentiment from Butterfly Gala.  See more...

Hello, Stampers!      You may recall that when I posted about the Perrenial Essence Lilypad/Lakeside card, I suggested you hang on to the section you cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Die to form the frame.  This is what we created with that leftover rectangle - so pretty, so easy and so handy to have in your stash.  More info.

Hi, Stampers!     As promised I have more information for you on these cards from my September Stamp Camp.  Stampers had their choice or mix-it up.  The top layout was the favorite.  Let's get started. Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net       P.S.   There is a new Host Code on my sidebar.   

Hello, Stampers!      Some of you are probably surprised to hear from me because right now we are supposed to be in Nova Scotia on a tour.  Long story short, hurricane Dorian resulted in our flight to Halifax from Toronto being cancelled on Saturday, and I wasn't able to book flights for Sunday before they were sold out, although I'm not sure if they would have flown as scheduled, either.        Anyway, above is a little stop-motion video to nudge you toward deciding what you'd like to create for the holidays, because we know it's never too early to start if you want to create your own holiday cards!  No, I haven't forgotten about Fall and Thanksgiving.  ;-)        Speaking of creating, Paper Pumpkin usually has some great Fall and Christmas ideas to speed things along.  (I hope you were able to sign up for your PP Halloween treats kit this month!) More Info  . . .

Hi, Stampers!      I recommend the September Paper Pumpkin kit for your quick treat-making, of course, but I had my heart set on using these coffin boxes from the Holiday Catalog for the holiday treats I usually pass out to the folks in my spin class - death by chocolate!      The boxes go together easily with Multipurpose Glue or Tear & Tape (or Fast Fuse) - all scored and cut for you - just decorate as you wish!  Here, I embossed the lids and on the right one I used the Swirls & Curls embossing folder.  I lightly brushed it with the new Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink Pad, as well.  I got the embossing idea from CreatewithChristy on YouTube.       Unfortunately, I have very few of the new Halloween items from the Holiday Catalog, so I went with what I had and even resorted to printing my own!  More info here.   Frankly, it would be a lot easier with the Monster Bash Bundle (love those frames), but...   LOL Happy Stampin’!
