This set is super versatile. I was able to make the flowers, tree and topiary with the same stamp set. The only other stamp set I used was the "Thanks" Sentiment from the new Borders set! I think that the topiary might be my favorite, but I'm not sure, because I liked them all! … [Read more...]

Ok, so I've got shipping confirmation that the stamps will be here super shortly! Here are some cards I made a week or so ago with the Hey Cupcake set. I love the oval stamp that can either be used as a plate or a border! Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Here's the card I made this month for card swap. My preview stamp images came in JUST in time! I used two images from the Borders Set: The border and the XOXOX stamp. (The "baby" stamp is from Stampin Up) The finished size is 3" x 6". I like this one because of the fun rectangular size. Just cut a 3" strip of 12" square paper, fold in half, and you've got yourself a card. … [Read more...]

It's been a while since my last post. You probably think I've fallen off the face of the earth. Actually I've been working hard on the stamp stuff. (Things that would make boring posts, like packaging and getting the retail website up and running, which has been a challenge! It's still a work in progress as I try to integrate PayPal into it.) Anyway, here's a smaller project I worked on. These are little refrigerator magnets. We had an old game that was missing some blocks, the generic brand of Jenga. I knew I could use the left over blocks for something and here it is. This is EXTREMELY easy to do! Just trace the block onto your … [Read more...]

I made these for Mother's Day presents. (Hopefully my mom won't decide to make this the week that she checks my blog! The J is for Janet, my mom, and the G is for Gayle, my mother in law.) You might recognize the images...they are from my stamp sets that will be here soon! So here's what you do to make these, using stamps. Just stamp the image with black ink on white paper for the highest contrast. Then find where on the towel you'd like the image to be embroidered. (For these towels I used the cotton flour sack towels. I like how absorbent these are.) I placed the image underneath the area and traced over my stamped image onto the towel … [Read more...]

Well, for the first release anyway. They will be sent off to the manufacturer for production on Monday! I can't tell you how excited I am! I'm going to save the last two stamp set previews for when the stamps are actually in my hands and available to you. However I'll give you the titles of the two unseen stamp sets! Ready? Hey Cupcake and Have A Tweet Day Stay tuned shortly because I will be announcing a few fun things along with my stamp release. And keep your calendars open because there may be opportunities to host some parties in the future where the hostess will get one free stamp set just for hosting! How cool is that? An … [Read more...]

This set is called Bough-tiful Blessings. (Hope that's not too cheesy!) It comes with a whopping 39 stamps. The branch/tree (depends on which way you stamp it) is 4 1/2" long. The perfect size for a card or scrapbook page element. I am soooo excited about this set because of all the different possibilities! The branch can have so many different things stamped with it: stars for birthdays, flowers, leaves and berries, hearts for valentines day, cherry blossoms.... you get the idea. Also included are some small swirls, dots, and starbursts that can be used separately, or layered on top of the other shapes to make a center. These are easy to … [Read more...]

Here is a preview of one of the first of four stamp sets to be released soon! This set includes 4 sentiments, 2 corners, and 5 different borders. The circle can be cut out perfectly with your 1 3/4" punch and the square will fit in your 1 3/4" punch. The other three shaped borders are right at 2" wide each. These are great sizes for both cardmaking and scrapbooking! This will come on a sheet that is 4" x 6". Let me know what you think! … [Read more...]

If you're like me, you've got lots of flat stickers that are cute, but just don't cut it anymore on a card or scrapbook page. Many of the online card swaps I've done specifically say that you can't use flat stickers...so what do you do? Here's an easy trick to add a little extra pizazz to your flat stickers: Stick your sticker on a blank piece of chipboard. (If you don't have sheets of chipboard, try a cereal or pasta box.) Then trim around your sticker. Now you've added dimension to your flat sticker. I used the technique to make this vase. The entire circle is a sticker, but it looks like the printed chipboard that you see everywhere! … [Read more...]
