Good Morning Stampers Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and that you were able to spend it with your loved ones. It was also our anniversary so it's a double celebration day. When David asked me to marry him, he said I could pick the day and he would pick the place. I, of course, picked Valentine's Day and he picked a small cabin at the beginning of a… Read More »

Good Morning Stampers! This is one of the cards the ladies will be making at the New Techniques class on Wednesday, 3 February. The technique is called Reverse Textured Embossing (I think!) It's where you ink up the textured embossing folder, insert card stock and then feed it through the Bit Shot. This is what comes out. For this technique, I used Melon Mambo on Whisper White card stock. … Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! I forgot to post this card a couple of days ago. This is one of the cards that was made by my ladies who attended the New Techniques class on 20 January 2009. The bird was stamped with Basic Brown on watercolor paper and the colored in using the ink pads and an aqua painter. Some Platinum Shimmer paint was added to the wings though you cannot see this… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers I shamelessly cased this from Lee Conroy. Thanks Lee for the inspiration! In making this card, I changed a couple of things like the colors used and the main image. Her heart was from the Embosslits Die which is in the Occasions Mini and I used the heart from the I {Hearts} Hearts stamp set which came out in the same mini catalog. This heart is gorgeous and… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers I think I can say I finally caught up with everything after my trip to leadership. I think I did, anyway, okay, I haven't vacuumed or dusted as yet but I will before my class on Wednesday (LOL). I've been experimenting with the Shimmer Paint spray and I think I got carried away with spraying the heart. I didn't realize this until I took pictures of the… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers This card is for the New Techniques class on Wednesday, 20 January 2010. The shimmer just doesn't come through in the photo but it is so beautiful IRL! I inked up the stamp using Bravo Burgundy then added Champaign Mist with a sponge dauber randomly over the stamp. I inked up the half pearl from Pretties Kit with Bravo Burgundy Craft Ink and then used Clear Emboss Powder. … Read More »
Good morning stampers! Today's card also uses the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. This card was made for my stamp camp held on 18 November 2009. I'll be showcasing the other cards from that same class in the next couple of days. This card is very bright and cheerful and I never would have thought to put Summer Sum and Pink Passion but it works. I pulled the colors from the DSP. … Read More »
It's time for stamp camp again. It seems that as soon as I finish with the monthly stamp camp, it's time for another. But guess what! I would not have it any other way! I tried to make each one a different color scheme because when you have more than one card with the same colors, it holds every one up and I certainly don't want to own two of every thing… Read More »
