Posted: August 10, 2007 Filed under: Polka dots & Paisley Leave a comment
As I mentioned yesterday I am enjoying using the Polka dots and Paisley set. The paisley stamp works well as a background stamp or as the feature stamp.
Supplies:
Stamps: Polka dots & Paisley, Hugs & Wishes
Inks: Wild Wasabi, Bravo Burgandy stamp pads and markers
Cardstock: Wild Wasabi, Bravo Burgandy, White
Also: Burgandy grosgrain ribbon, natural hemp twine
July Stampers’ Club cards
Posted: August 8, 2007 Filed under: Artfully Asian, Polka dots & Paisley Leave a comment
The first month for Stampers’ club was also the night of my Open House for the new catalogue. These are the cards that everyone made. I am really enjoying using the Polka Dots & Paisley set, the paisley and dot stamps are great to make pretty but not floral cards.
Supplies:
Stamps: Polka Dots & Paisley, Hugs and Wishes
Inks: Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, White, Mellow Moss
Also: Moss gingham ribbon, Circle punches
The mini thank you card was a fun way to use the watercolour pencils and I was pleased with the colour combination given that Taken with Teal is not a big favourite of mine.
Supplies:
Stamps: Artfully Asian
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Taken with Teal, Rose Red, Soft Sky.
Also: Blender Pens, Watercolour pencils (Faber Castell)
Butterfly
Posted: July 31, 2007 Filed under: Measure of a Life Leave a comment
Although this is made using a retired set which I have now sold I like the technique so I decided to post it anyway. I like the technique used on the background: embossing the image in clear embossing powder. It is hard to see in the photo but the butterfly has a second layer which is raised by stamping dimensionals.
My first order from the new catalog should arrive today so that will help me cope with missing the cottage, the lake and the friends who are still there.
Supplies:
Stamps: Measure of a Life
Inks: Versamark, Night of Navy & Bravo Burgandy markers
Cardstock: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Bravo Burgandy
Also: Burgandy grosgrain ribbon, clear E.P., stampin’ dimensionals.

Supplies
Stamps: Looks like Spring, Hugs and Wishes
Cardstock: Whisper white, Cameo Coral, Real Red
Ink: Cameo Coral, Real Red, Not quite Navy
Also: Red gingham ribbon

Here is the first of two gift tags using Looks like Spring. I find that when I make a nice gift tag I don’t always have the right wrapping paper, so I am just going to have to start making wrapping paper to match!

A gallery of sorts
Posted: July 16, 2007 Filed under: By Land Leave a commentI have been toying with the idea of a gallery for displaying my cards for quite a while and have decided to try posting them on a blog. If you are like me and like cutting up little pieces of cardstock, fabric, ribbon and such in order to stick it or sew it back together then you might find some ideas here. If you would rather read the telephone directory than do craft then this is not the place for you!
Supplies
Stamps: By Land. Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Brilliant Blue, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Glorious Green, Basic Black, Confetti Cream. Ink: Versa mark. Also: Crystal Clear E.P. Black eyelets, Natural Hemp Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals.
