OVER THE MOON VALENTINES

Image
Hi, Stampers!      I love these little bovines and the sentiment, which I thought was perfect for Valentine's Day - cute and not sappy.  Here's a couple more versions.      You can probably tell that a couple of the cows are popped up on Wobbles (mini), which you can find on Amazon or, probably most craft stores.  I'm not going to post step-by-step for these cute note cards because they are so individual.  I think you'll have plenty of information when you see the product list below - click "read in browser" or "read more."

THE POPPIES ANGLE - A FREE TUTORIAL

Hello, Stampers!    I've created a photo tutorial for cutting the DSP angle for the above card front my January stamp camp, mostly because I am somewhat math-challenged and became frustrated trying to create this card using strictly measurements.  Just click below for the step-by-step.     I hope you find it helpful.  If you would like a printable version, just contact me or leave a comment!  Products below.

I'VE BEEN MISSING! PAINTED POPPIES BUNDLE STAMP CAMP PROJECT

Image
Hello, Stampers!      We are more than halfway through January and this is my first project post!  Yikes!  We traveled to Buffalo for Christmas and I've also been making reservations, learning lots online, and shopping for our first ever cruise!  Just a 4-night blues cruise to Nassau, but when it's your first time, boy, we are clueless!      Anyway, this is one of the cards we created this month at stamp camp.  The color inspiration was a happenstance.  I arrange my card stock in color families and in alphabetical order within the family and have been doing it that way for almost 17 years.  It just so happened that these three stacks ended up in a kind of stair-step on the shelf and voila!  I like bright colors, anyway, so...      As you can see, it's really pretty simple, but what you might not see in this shot is that the larger blooms are enhanced with the Shimmery Crystal Effects from the Holiday Catalog.  The large poppy was stamped with Stazon onto watercolor

NATURE'S BEAUTY MASCULINE BIRTHDAY

Image
Hello, Stampers!      Veering away from the Christmas cards for this post; although with a change in color combination, it would be a perfect Christmas card  I'm so happy this set is not retiring when the Holiday Catalog ends!  This template is called the half door or half barn door.  It's very easy to make, so head to my blog to read more !

ANOTHER FUN SIP SIP HOORAY! CARD - December Stamp Camp

Image
Hello, Stampers!      Here is another card from December Stamp Camp.  Do you love this colorful background? It's  not  Pigment Sprinkles or Brusho - it's See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper!        We ran the piece of 3-3/4 x 5 DSP through the Big Shot on the Precision Plate with the bubbles/holes die from the Sip Sip Hooray Bundle and then with the Subtle embossing folder (optional), and adhered it to a 5-1/4 x 4 layer of Pacific Point CS.  The cocktail glasses were stamped in Memento and die cut from Shimmery White CS and we added some Multi Liquid Glue and Ice Glitter along the top edge (if you like salt on your margarita). 😉  See close-up below.  The margarita is stamped with Soft Sea Foam with Clear Wink of Stella added.  The top glass is mounted on Dimensionals at the top and glue dot at the bottom.  More below.
