Memorial Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer for many.  Celebrations this year will be quite different from previous years.  Public pools are not opening, no large neighborhood parties.  But the true spirit of Memorial Day will remain in our minds and hearts.  Remember those who fought and died defending our country. Thanks to all veterans.

Have a wonderful holiday and a terrific summer!

Bargain Price and the Roof is ON!!

Hello Stampers!

We had a new roof put on and the video below will prove it!  I was recording and they started hammering on the roof right above my head.  Well, the show must go on - right?  It was a little distracting.

The Botanical Prints Medley of products is on sale!!!!  Yep - you get $70 worth of great stuff for $42.  Included in the set is a stamp set and coordinating dies, 48 pieces of 6 x 6 designer series paper - really pretty prints, laser cut outs, ribbon, and cute little bee embellishments.  It really is a great bargain.  But it won’t last!!!  It was in the Occasions Mini Catalog and those items are no longer for sale after the first of June.  Also, this is until supplies run out and at this price they probably will go fast.  So check it out.  The video shows it all.

You really have to see the video - just for the hammering!

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly kit that comes in the mail.  Each month includes a stamp set, a stamping spot ( a different color each month), and all the supplies you need for the months card or project.  Just watch while I open this one.

Tropical Day! Lets make two versions of the same sunny card.

Hello Stampers!

Isn't it just a beautiful tropical feeling day today! Today's card and video is going to be using the Timeless Tropical stamps and dies and Designer Series Paper. You’ll see two ways to make a “ribbon card”.  I have a cutting list for both cards right after the picture and a video follows to show you the process.  If you enjoy these tutorials, don’t forget to follow my page and add your email ——-> even if I already have it, this will show me who is watching!

For these cards, I used So Saffron (Soft Seafoam) for the base.  Cut 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and score at 4 1/4.
You'll also need a scrap of the same color for your greeting.
Real Red 5 1/2 X 3 1/4 and a 2 1/2 square scrap. (Pretty Peacock for the second card)
Designer Series Paper 5 1/2 X 3.
6 1/2" piece of coordinating ribbon.

I used the Label me Fancy punch for the greeting and the slots.  The Label me Lovely punch is the larger one in the background where the ribbon passes through.  Both were introduced in the Occasions mini catalog and will be in the new annual catalog.

Mountain Air

What a beautiful weekend!  I spent a lot of time outside, reading in the pavillion, playing with the dogs, working in the garden.
I also spent some stamping time.  I pulled out some of the stamp sets that are not retiring and found that Mountain Air will be in the new catalog.  This was originally in the occasions mini catalog.  I wasn’t sure I was really very fond of it until I really started playing around with it.  I’m liking it now.  This is what I came up with.

The stamps are reversible so you can really add some nice shadows and effects.  It took some doing but I like the finished product.
