Halloween??

Even though I love Halloween, I hate to be thinking about it already!

Halloween paper and punches that I preordered are starting to trickle in, but more will be here in September. This cool spider web punch is brand new this year and I teamed it up with a 1.99 clear stamp set from Inkadinkado... way too easy!

The spooky background paper is brand new in too.

On the flip side, here is a sweet baby card using brand new stamps from Paper Smooches. I just added some pink pearls and new paper from Simple Stories.

Christmas Card Samples

If you missed out on this years Christmas card making class, here are a few of the samples that weren't posted to the blog yet.

These little snowmen come in packs of 6 for making multiples of the same card.

We used the "core" paper on the trees so they could be sanded for a snowy effect.

The Cuttlebug and SRM clear stickers always make cards soooo easy!

This one used lavender and olive for non-traditional Christmas colors.

The navy and brown winter trees were very popular. This stamp could be used for other occasions besides Christmas.

Kaleidecolor pads & brayers

This brayer technique is one that I havent done in a really long time but thought would work great with this bird stamp.

First you need a Kaleidecolor ink pad. These pads are like 5 small individual colors that stay seperate while in storage, but slide the lever and they snap together when ready to be used. They come in a number of color combos!

Roll your brayer over the pad to ink it up.

The cardstock you use MUST be glossy cardstock! This is very important... the technique doesnt work if you use a regular piece of paper. Roll the brayer back and forth over your paper to get an even coat of ink. You may even need to re-ink your brayer and do it again. You will get a very pretty rainbow effect. I like to stamp an image in black, usually a solid image works best.

Thanksgiving place cards

I finally finished up the place cards I was working on for my aunt. She always has the nicest table setting at Thanksgiving so I wanted to make her some pretty place cards. I needed to make about 17, now I just need to put the names in and they will be complete. I was going to use rub-ons but I think I will just print them out on the computer and punch them out... much easier! The stamp set I used was Autumn Foliage by Inkadinkado.

"Ice" Day!

Boy, does it feel like winter is coming quick! I have quite a few birthday cards to work on this weekend, and I felt like using this cute little penguin with this nasty weather outside.

I used the Friendly characters stamp set and a snowflake background from Cuttlebug.

There are always lots of new stamps arriving so be sure to stop by and check them out.

Hit the road...

I absolutely love this "Mr. Campy" paper from Cosmo Cricket, hopefully soon I will be making some scrapbook pages with it too.
Tonight we will be leaving to go camping for my family reunion. Woo hoo! Leanne will be working at the shop on Friday & Saturday so I can take a break.
I cant wait to Hit the Road, Jack!

Penguin snow!

This was one of the penguin cards that we made at the last class.

I added liquid applique to the card to make it look like real snow! It comes out of a small tube in a Elmer's glue consistency, but with a heat tool you can puff it up to look like snow or a Santa hat.

The penguin stamp comes from the "Penguin Pandemonium" clear stamp set. The liquid applique is very inexpensive and adds a nice touch to your Holiday cards. If you need me to show you how it works just stop by for a demo.

Penguin Pandemonium

In this class we will be stamping 6 penguin themed Christmas cards with matching envelopes.

All of the cards are very detailed with a lot of embellishments. We will be using glitter, liquid applique, ribbon, brads, punches and more. Get a jump start on your Christmas cards before holidays start getting crazy!
