Stampin' Up Party in Tremont

One of my customers is hosting a Stampin' Up party at her house in Tremont on Tuesday evening. Each person attending pays $5 and will be making the following three cards.

This first card is using the stamp sets Charming and Fundamental Phrases. Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White are used.

I love this new stamp set called Awash with Flowers. There is just so much you can do with it. The happy birthday is from Messages for Mom stamp set. I used Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzleberry.

The final card of the evening is the Motorcycle. We will be using the Square Lattice embossing folder with Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Basic Gray, and Glossy White Cardstocks.

Playing with some old stamp sets

Sorry I haven't been around much. I can't believe how busy being a SAHM really is, but it sure is fun. Here are a couple children's birthday cards I made using some retired stamp sets. The first is using Fox and Friends. Glorious Green, Gable Green, and Only Orange were used to make this card. All of those colors are now retired.
By Land is the name of the stamp set used in the next two cards. I also used Teeny Tiny Messages, All in the Family Words, and the Canvas Background Stamp.

Motorcycle and Cracked Glass

Motorcycles are not popular in my family, however I just love this stamp from the Summer Mini Catalog. For this card I used the Cracked Glass technique and soft suede ink. The Happy Birthday is from the Teeny Tiny Messages Stamp Set and I added some paper piercing. The paper is sahara sand, whisper white and some retiring DSP. I will be offering a technique class in the middle of July and the cracked glass will be one of the techniques that I will be teaching.

Vintage Stencil

I love the look of the Vintage Stencil. It is available in the Summer Mini Catalog and also is in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog. It makes any card or scrapbook page have a touch of elegance to it.

First Father's Day

Here is the Father's Day card that I made for my husband. This is his first Father's Day! He loves getting handmade cards, however I always have trouble coming with with just the right card for him. I saw this somewhere on Splitcoast and thought it a really neat idea.

Playing with a New and Old Stamp Set

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. My mother and I had a garage sale last week and it took just about all my time and energy. I finally had some time to play with some of the new items I was able to preorder from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog last night. This is a new stamp set called Artistic Etching. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line everything up and think it turned out pretty well. I was hoping for a masculine birthday card and think this just might work.

Here is an oldie but a goodie. Inspired by Nature and Flight of the Butterfly work nicely together.
