AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am sharing one of the cards we made last Saturday at my Sprinkles of Life stamp class .  Stampers brought their Sprinkles of  Life stamp set and matching  Tree Builder punch to class.  They made 4 cards and recived a 5th additional premade card.  Each card was separately themed, and we used most all of the images in the stamp set.  Stampers went home with a cupcake birthday gift card, a thinking of you clouds card, a "thanks a bunch" basket of flowers, a summer tree/flower scene birthday card, and this Autumn/Thanksgiving card. Supplies for this project: Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog Sprinkles of Life is one of my top stamp sets from the annual catalog.  Such a fun, and easy stamp set to work with that allows you to create an assortment of cards and projects with a matching punch!

Hello, crafty friends. Today I am sharing a halloween treat bag I made using items from the annual catalog as well as the NEW and upcoming Holiday Catalog. First, I created a bag using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits which can be found in the annual catalog on page 171.  It is one of my favorite thinlit sets. To create the bag, I cut 2 "fronts" using Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I then cut the zig zag top off each "side" (after the score line), and then scored that side piece 1/2" from the end. Here is a picture of one of the "fronts" cut and scored for you to see. I, then stamped the Watercolor Wash background stamp using Pumpkin Pie ink. Next, I stamped the spider web image from the Witches' Night stamp set around the edges of one side of the die cut pieces (you could do both) with my NEW Archival Basic Black  ink pad.  I, then stamped the tombstone image from the Sweet Hauntings stamp set onto white cardstock and sponged in Daffo...

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am sharing another project stampers made at my New Catalog Make and Take  class.  Attendees got to play with the awesome stamp set called Watercolor Wings along with the coordinating Bold Butterfly Framelits and Butterflies Thinlits Dies. We used the new 2015-2017 In Colors: Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder and Tip Top Taupe, along with the 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack and a Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron or Tip Top Taupe In Color Blossom Accent for the center of the main butterfly. These 3 colors are gorgeous together!  It is hard to see in my photo, but we also used a piece of 1" Dotted Lace Trim on the inside of the card.  It was an excellent project to show many of the new In Color goodies!

The stems were painted with Pear Pizzazz ink.  The flowers were fussy cut out and layered onto a circle shaped die cut piece of Vellum cardstock.  And as you can see, I once again used the beautiful embossing fo...

Hello, crafty friends! Last weekend I had my New Catalog Make and Take class and I thought I would share a few of the projects we made.  Here is project No. 1: This birthday gift set uses the famous and awesome and must have Ronald McDonald stamp set called Sprinkles of Life and matching Tree Builder punch.    We made a medium gift bag with an 11" x  7" piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock using the new Gift Bag punch board and a matching 3 x 3 card and envelope using the Envelope punch board .  There are many, many things I love about this project, but ideally I like it because the cute little card fits inside the bag, so its perfect for delivery!  How about that washi tape?  It's awesome for adding a pop of color and makes this project quick and easy to put together.   Here's the links to the supplies for this project: Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog Thanks for stopping by!
