Super Simple card! For this card I used the Borders and Corners "Thanks" sentiment. I stamped and then used clear embossing powder to make it dimensional. For the background I just cut a piece of the light blue paper that was 4" x 2 3/4". (I sketched a diagram of what I did below.) Then just cut it into 4 pieces, similar to the dotted lines on the diagram below. Once you have them cut out, just layout on your card background with a little space between each one and adhere. Add a little flower and silver brad and you're done. Easy as pie, or cupcakes, depending on which you like most! :) … [Read more...]

On to the countdown related stuff in a minute. I took a break from some paper crafts yesterday to do a purely embroidery project. It's another napkin, but this time no stamping, just pure embroidery. It all started with this book: I was searching through the selection of books at Half Price Books (I LOVE Half Price Books!!!) and pulled this one off the shelf. It didn't have a spine because it's a spiral bound 225 page book. From the cover I thought it wasn't going to be worth it, but I opened it anyway and the minute I did, I just sat there, so elated, that I had in fact decided to open the book. There are over 200 pages of embroidered … [Read more...]

Ok, I know it's been a little while since my last post. I've been working on a few things that I'll post real soon. It's something new and really fun! Here's a simple 3" square card I put together so as not to slack on my posting! Just cut a square slightly smaller than your card front, tie a ribbon around. Stamp the border and sentiment, trim the edges, and adhere with foam tape on top of the ribbon. You're done. Easy! (It is lime green and brown, not black. I just like using the really rich dark brown paper.) … [Read more...]

This project is along the same lines of stamping on napkins. I wanted a little more pattern on these ones. Items needed: 1 fat quarter fabric (for those that aren't quilters it's where they take 1 yard of fabric and it cut into quarters) StazOn ink various colors embroidery floss I cut out scraps of a neutral color fabric (thanks again Celia for the scraps!) I stamped the star from the Bough set and hand stitched around the image. I used a french knot at the star points, and a straight stitch for the outline. I used the water soluble pen to write "freedom" and "liberty" and then I free stitched those. I trimmed each one with … [Read more...]

Ok, so you remember what happens when I do a tutorial right? I'll be giving away something that you'll need to complete the project. And this time you get a choice! The winner will get to choose between a brand new StazOn ink pad, or a set of 4 ready-to-be-stamped-on napkins. So, after the tutorial be sure to follow the directions to enter! I made a few napkins this weekend. Of course I used the new stamp sets! I wanted some for birthdays or if we have company over for dessert. I used the Hey Cupcake set and the StazOn ink. The StazOn ink is permanent. Then I just embellished the cupcake with french knot "sprinkles". (Thanks to my friend … [Read more...]

I made this card with the borders set, and the star from the Boughs set. I cut out the scalloped square and mounted it with foam tape, then cut out and mounted the stars on foam tape too. It gave a lot of dimension to the card. Thanks for looking! … [Read more...]

Here's a card I made with the borders set! The shapes in this set are also great for making background designs for paper. See, the same shape that is bordering the "Thanks" is also stamped multiple times to make the background paper. Finished size is 6 1/2" square. … [Read more...]
