Bummer!
This is my sad face due to product unavailability. Is it the end of the world, not by any stretch. But, since stamping is part of my happy place, and I know that it is for many of you, too, this is indeed a bummer. So... let me give you the details. These two...
Swinging Heart
I'm not going to blog about "swinging" in the 70's sense (if you know what I mean). I'm using that word here to describe a bit what is going on with this card. You can't tell from the picture, but the right side of the heart is covering a half-heart cut in the base...
So Many Dies!
I was inspired to play last evening so I could participate in two challenges this week; more on those challenges in a bit. For this card I decided to focus (mostly) on items from the Annual catalog. When a new seasonal catalog has come out, it is so easy to overlook...
Cake is Great!
At the Essex stamp club gathering last week I devised two projects that made use of the Stamparatus (aka the Stampasaurus 😉 ). This was the second, simpler project that we made. There wasn't any fancy tricks with the tool for this card, but I did have the stamps all...
Pretty Lily
I wanted to show off this gorgeous stamp set to the South Burlington stamp club, and they really enjoyed making this card last evening. The group was really impressed with how beautifully these stamps create the images. The shadows, highlights and faint lines all show...
Goopy Birthday
First let me say that the colors on the cake aren't perfect in this picture. IRL there is more differentiation between the drippy/goopy frosting on the cake and the lower frosting. However, my photography skills weren't up to capturing the slight color differences. I...
Christmas Wishes for you
This was the more complicated project that the South Burlington stamp club made at the last gathering. I was a little worried about doing more Christmas, but they were actually relieved to have one more card in their stash for last minute sending. Thank goodness! I...
Quick Stocking Stuffer
The Essex Stamp Club group made these treat holders at their meeting a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to showcase something quick and easy that they could reproduce for stocking stuffers or small gifts for co-workers/friends. The secret sauce to these holders is that...
Pretty Gift Card Holder
We created this super-quick gift card holder at the South Burlington stamp club meeting on Wednesday. This particular gift card holder uses lots of Designer Series Paper (DSP) patterns, which is helpful in making a dent in your stash. This also means that it goes...
Quick Christmas
I admit that I found myself in a bind in terms of Christmas cards this year. Typically I make cards throughout the year so that I have a good supply when the Holiday season comes around. This year I wasn't as diligent and I found myself a fair amount shy of the number...
