Snow Swirl

It's hot and humid outside yet I'm making Christmas card while listening to Willie sing "Help me make it through the night".  I should be playing Christmas music but I love Willie and the music he sang during the 1970's and 1980's. This card is for the Christmas in July class scheduled for Wednesday, 29 July 2009.  I have a couple of openings so if you live in the Northwest… Read More »

Royal Blog Tour – Featured Set – Peace Within

I am very excited to feature the stamp set Peace Within from the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  This set will definitely be one of your favorites because it can lend itself to any occasion.  I've purposely left off any type of sentiment so that I can tailor to fit as I need it. This card uses the new In-colors Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo.  The Designer Series… Read More »

Medallion

I finally received my Medallion background stamp.  I had been saving the Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper for that special stamp and decided to use the Medallion background stamp with it. I am not very happy with the way it is stamping.  I can't get it dark enough nor a clear dark image and I was using basic black.  I tried sanding the stamp, using the brayer to make sure the… Read More »

Home for Christmas

Today's card is for the Christmas in July Stamp Class scheduled for Wednesday, 29 July 2009.  I still have a couple of openings, so if you are interested and live in the Northwest Arkansas area, shoot me an e-mail. This card was cased from the one in the catalog (page 34).  I changed a couple of things:  distressed the edges, eliminated the ribbon and the 2nd sentiment was stamped inside the card.… Read More »

How to line up your sentiment stamps

I was putting a stamp set together for a Christmas Card I am making today and I thought that I'd never shared the idea of how I line up my sentiment stamps so that they are straight on the wooden blocks. I take a ruler (I used a quilter's ruler) and draw a faint line across the bottom of the wood block.  I draw the line right at the point… Read More »

Thoughts and Prayers

At class today, the ladies were talking about the need for Sympathy Cards.  We decided to have a class in September that would be Sympathy cards inclusive.  That got me thinking that I haven't made one in a while and the problem is that when you really need one you are not in the mood to make one.  So I decided I would at least try to make one every… Read More »

Look Ma, no stamps!

Today's card is for the Late Night Stampers weekly challenge #29.  The challenge is to make a pink and black card. I decided to drag out my retired rub-ons.  This one is called Cherished Memories and retired from the last catalog.   Did you noticed that I did not use one little piece of pattern paper.  That was so unusual for me!  To download the card instructions:  Download Pink & Black… Read More »
