A bunch more talented stampers have joined in the Virtual Treasure Hunt. You still have plenty of time to join in the fun – just get your entry in by October 25th (at the latest) 🙂 Please go look at my “Rules” post for links to them. Even if you have already submitted your list – go look at their sites for ideas and inspiration ~ you will not be sorry.
October’s Best of 25 years Stamp Set is……..
This set is available in clear mount and costs $14.95.
September’s Stamp Camp had three new designs. The first in traditional colours with a contemporary design (thank you Connie Stewart for the inspiration!) The second card featured a glitter encrusted tree in delicious Midnight Muse and Soft Sky card and finally the mellow greens of Always Artichoke and Pear Pizzazz with a silver embossed ornament just popping off the card.
October’s Camp brings three more designs, two are complete – the third is still on the drawing board. October’s camp is on the 18th and 19th ~ you choose the date that works for you – call me for more details and to reserve your place.
Not able to come to my classes? ~ contact me about a kit. Not into card-crafting but love my designs? ~ contact me about buying some completed cards 🙂
These were the cards we made in the August Camp. Each person made 3 of each card, including decorating the envelopes. The left hand card features both heat and dry embossing in classic vanilla and gold. The centre card has the traditional Christmas colours of Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green and silver. I just loved the contemporary colors of Crisp Cantalope and Cake Crumb cardstock in the right hand card.
There is one more Holiday card camp for 2013 on October 18th and 19th.
The Late Night Stampers Treasure Hunt is still on…….. if you have not yet joined in the FUN there is plenty of time before the big draw in October. Simply go to my August archive, scroll down to find the logo (see above) then follow the instructions and the links…….. you could win the Grand Prize of a Stampin’ Up shopping spree.!!!!!!
Frame measures 10 x 8. All embellishments are handmade/stamped. Lots of patriotic red, white & blue with some glimmer paper for the ‘sparkle’ to represent the Star-Spangled Banner. The piece of cream card stock running from top to bottom at centre-right represents the Declaration of Independence.
Halloween Framed Art – home decor project. Measures 12 x 12 with lots of ‘spooky’ colours and images, pumpkins, candy corn, ‘Casper’ the ghost with his cute witches hat, googly eyed spiders with cobwebs. All the pieces are made from either cardstock or ribbon and the embellishments are all handmade/stamped. It is attached to a 14 x 14 magnetic board with small magnets so it can be swapped out as each season passes.
We welcomed a new member to our family last week. Made this congratulations card to send to her parents. The bear is made from using different punches and the pieces are sponged before assembly. (the pattern for the bear was from a talented paper crafter in Australia but sadly I cannot find her name – thanks so much for the inspiration 🙂 )
Using Big Shot die ‘top note’, heat embossed vellum, glimmer paper and large rhinestone. Lots of sparkle and shine, perfect for a wedding shower.
One of the layers of this card is made of vellum which I ‘shadow’ stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder then set with my heat gun. The underlayer of the card is stamped with Tangerine Tango on Very Vanilla card stock. This gives a pretty 3D effect. The fussy-cut flower is heat embossed in pewter then attached with a stampin dimensional. I used the Fabulous Florets stamp set
