What's on my desk today

I have been getting ready for my Friends Sampler class and enjoying the beautiful Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper, the champagne foil used in the paper gives it a pretty shimmer.

I had scraps of DSP and saw this on another demo's site and had to case it, I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Petal Pink ribbon, Copper Dotted Treat Bag, Vellum, Copper Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink and a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. Think of the fun you can have with your scraps of DSP.

The fold over bag can hold a small gift or gift card.

Just a reminder, reserve your spot on my Day Cruise, Saturday March 7th, 11 to 3 at Village at Three Fountains. There are 8 ports of call (cards), buffet line, games and prizes. Ticket cost is $45, you will get a card kit, Tropical Oasis Trinkets, Memory & More Card Pack and a roll of Braided Burlap Trim.. Reserve you seat on the cruise by February 29th..

Have a great day and happy stamping

Casing the Catalog

I loved the Ornate Frames dies when they were introduced in the Fall/Winter Mini catalog and was happy when they were carried over. In the Spring Mini they are paired with the Perfectly Framed stamp set. This set has nice sentiments and you can use the flower and greenery stamps to build a sweet bouquet or background. I cased (Copy And Share Everything) two of the cards on page 31 of the catalog.

The project featured in the catalog used a pizza box, I created a card. As you can see I used Crushed Curry, Night of Navy and Seaside Spray ink. I cut 2 labels out of Night of Navy cardstock, embossed the sentiment on one. The two labels were butted together. I added a piece of discontinued Crushed Curry ribbon across the middle and made a bow.

In CASE #2

I selected another color palate, to give a spring feel since it is -10 degrees right now. I cut a vellum lacy frame to layer under the sentiment label.

Stamp something pretty today

We had a table full of products and tools

Here is a sample of a few of the cards.

We had lots of fun, hope you can join me for future events.

What's on my desk today

Earlier this week I had sick little girl duty, my youngest granddaughter was running a fever and had a super runny nose. We played, read books and watched hours of Micky Mouse cartoons.

Over the weekend I started working on several water color techniques. Today I was able to finish them. I will be offering this as a class in March. Wear clothes that can get messy, I will provide gloves to protect your hands.

 

Have a great day, happy stamping

It was time to try out a new products, I grabbed the Birthday Bonanza Suite and cased a bunch of cards from other demonstrators and Pinterest. The Designer Series Paper featured colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Crushed CurryThey make adorable birthday and baby shower cards. The suite coordinates with the Metallic Bakers Twine and Sequins Combo Pack that is a FREE Sale A Bration item, with a $50 purchase

 

 See how I used the sequins to make the lions mane. 

Have a great Groundhogs Day, enjoy all the Super Bowl ads and do not forget to stamp something

Sassy Stampers

I have not posted in a few days due to a learning curve, my husband and I purchased new phones and had to learn all about them and how to link them to my laptop. Hoping I have it mastered and will be updating often. 

Today we put together Mary's Annual Groundhog's Day card. Mary's card features a Double Z Fold This feeling about coffee and mine are the same.The Beanie Baby Groundhog was a gift to Mary "years" ago from a little boy (now a man) that used to stamp with us.

Have a great Saturday, the sun is shining here today!!

Happy Stamping
