Single Stamps

We're trying out something new! We're excited to offer you the chance to buy single pieces from these select stamp sets: Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings. The offer will be available now through January 2, 2013.
Details
  • These won't be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
  • This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
  • The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers. 
  • There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
  • Remember that this is a pilot program, so take advantage of it while you can!

Fabric Ornament, Broach or Something!

The Candlelight Christmas Fabric is gorgeous!  I made some ornaments or broaches out of it.  This would work for any of our fabrics however.  Just so beautiful.

This invovles a bunch of hotglueing!   The tulle was handstitched and then pulled together.  I think it could use some crochet trim.  We do sell that.  Erin (daughter) makes crochet lace.  She whipped these up over the weekend.  Aren't they just gorgeous! 
I think I need some of that.  
 
I have posted several blog posts today, so keep scrolling down.

Continue having a great day!

Ex Libris

Love, love, love this background stamp.  It is Ex Libris and I have paired it with From My Heart.  I inked Ex Libris with Crumb Cake, sponged over that with some Primrose Petals and then stamped it.  I LOVE that look.  Then I sponged and spritzed with the Color Spritzer Tool.  The stamp used from From My Heart is inked in Soft Suede and then a blender pen using Crumb Cake to color.
Stamp sets:  Ex Libris, From My Heart
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Primrose Petals
Cardstock:  Primrose Petals, Very Vanilla
Accessories:  Crochet Trim, Large Scallop Edgelits, Labels Collection Edgelits, Delicate Designs Folders, In Color Dahlias
Have a great day!

Core'dinations Watercolor Winter

This is one of my favorite sets out of the Holiday Mini.  I love 2-step stampin' and rock n roll is my favorite technique.  I know!  That is an old technique, but I just love it.  The Core'dinations cardstock is another favorite with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder as well as the Delicate Designs Folders with the Large Scallop Edgelits.  Those line up together!  How cool is that.  A perfectly cut edge.
Stamp set:  Watercolor Winter
Cardstock:  Early Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Large Scallop Edgelits, Delicate Designs Folders, Labels Collections Framelits, Antique Brad, Crochet Trim, Seam Binding Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Brayer, Dust Buddy, Sanding System, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder

Have a great day!

Snowflake Illuminate Free for All Catalog Focus

I stamped with some new stuff today and used some challenges to keep me focused.  The Free for All Challenge was Ombre.  It means shaded.  One color that changes into another.  I did that on the main snowflake.  The center is Early Espresso then Crumb Cake and the edges are Marina Mist.  Isn't it pretty?  I love it!  The Creative Crew challenge I used was the August Catalog Focus.  That was to use brads.  I also wanted to use the new Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stamp Pad.  That is on the side panel and on the main snowflake piece.  You will have to click on the picture for a closeup to see it.  Really pretty!

Stamp Set:  Snowflake Soiree
Ink:  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Illuminate Glimmer Watermark
Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Early Espresso Core'dinations, Shimmery White
Accessories:   Antique Brad, Crumb Cake Tulle, Victoria Crochet Trim

Have a great day!

Elise and Irelyn!

Elise and Irelyn are my grand daughters.  They live in Virginia and are spending some vacation time with us.  Let me show you what is going on in my stamp room!

 This is Irelyn.  She is writing right now.  See that pink paper?  Some punching was going on!  And see those red sour cherrys at the bottom of the picture?  Fun times!
 This is Elise.  She wanted to make some flowers. 
 Flowers and bling!  Love!
 On my shelf of cards Elise saw this card. 

 She wanted me to show her how to make one with yellow and red.  I helped her get started and she did a great job!
 This card Elise made all on her own.
 This is a card Irelyn made all on her own.
The girls have been very busy.   Grammy Deb and Grampy Jack are having a grand time!  Jaclyn is enjoying having someone to play the Wii with.  


Have a great day!
