As The Ink Dries

They're Back!

Who's Back?  The Easter chicks are back!   These little punch chicks are quick and easy to make and I updated them using the Card Base Pop'n Cuts and the Dress Form Pop' n Cuts.  

A pretty simple card front.  Isn't it cool how the card closes?  I love that the Card Base Pop' n Cuts have these slits and tabs to keep the surprise inside a surprise until you open the card.

I built the flower pot and chicks and then attached it to the dress form.  If you want to see how I made the chicks here's a video  tutorial   I made.  The You Tube channel is an old one and I have a new one that the Embossing with 2 Folder video is on, with more videos to come.  

Here's the new chick!  She's just a baby.   I used the 1-1/4" scallop punch to make her and the Bitty Butterfly punch .  Hope you enjoyed seeing the chicks again and here's a link to more  Easter Chicks.

If you have any questions you know how to find me so don't hesitate to ask.

Hope to stamp with you soon!

Celebrate Today with the Swallowtail

I was shovelling off my craft table, I mean cleaning up my craft table and came across a Swallowtail image that I had colored and cut out that must have gotten buried under all the other "stuff" cluttering up my table.  I am positive there are  crafty  little gremlins that come late at night who love to stamp and make a big mess.   What other explanations could there be?

Stamps: Swallowtail, Perfectly Penned
Ink: VersaMark, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry
Paper: Card Stock Vellum, Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla 
Extras: Champagne Shimmer paint, Black Embossing powder, heat tool

I am crazy about this big Swallowtail stamp.  If all you do is stamp it on an envelope it would be worth it.  It is truly a gorgeous image.   If you think it is time for you to have your own Swallowtail image fly to your house please shop at my online store.  Remember if your merchandise total is $50 or more you will be able to choose a free product from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  

Hope to stamp with you soon!

CPC Swallowtail Box and Card set

Today i want to share with you the project I designed for Craft Project Central!  I was really intrigued by the Swallowtail stamp in the Stampin Up Occasions catalog and knew I wanted to use it for my project this month.

I wish I could capture all the shimmer and shine but my photography skills are lacking.    When you subscribe to Craft Project Central for the month of February you will receive a tutorial on how to make this box and the two cards peeking out from the box  AND 9 other tutorials.   It is a great deal and easy to do, just go to Craft Project Central  and subscribe to the month of February!

Oh, Hello and Cupid's Arrow

Just wanted to drop by for a quick post.  I have been wanting to do this ever since I laid my eyes on the Oh, Hello stamp set in the Occasions catalog.  

The fletching (are you impressed by my knowledge of the anatomy of an arrow?  Don't be I totally Googled "parts of an arrow" and learned it was called a fletching and not the feathery thing at the end of the arrow)) is the chevron patterned stamp from the Oh, Hello stamp set.  I used markers to color the different sections and then cut it out.  The point is fron the  Hearts a Flutter stamp set.  I though it would be cute to carry on the chevron theme.   The large Real Red hearts were cut from the Hearts Collection Framelits and the sentiment is from the Seasonal Sayings stamp set.  The Seasonal Sayings stamp set was originally featured in the Holiday Catalog but has been carried over and can still be ordered.  You can check out all the stamp sets and products that have been carried over on page 36 of the Occasions catalog.  

That is it for now.  I am running behind schedule and need to get some paper cut and projects prepared.   I am planning to post again later in the day but to be sure you do not miss any posts become a susbcriber of my blog and you will be notified when I post.  It is easy, just go to the left hand side of the blog and fill in your email address iright below the sign up block for my mailing list. Super simple!

Hope to stamp with you soon!

Feel Goods and the Challenge

Do you like a challenge?  I have been wanting to join in and participate in more stamping challenges and today I took some time and did.  The first one I did was the monthly challenge at Craft Project Central.    I stayed pretty true to the sketch.  Here's the sketch.

Here's my card.

Stamps: Feel Goods
Ink: Island Indigo
Paper: Sahara Sand, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP (free choice during Sale-A-Bration)
Punches: Scallop Edge Border
Big Shot:  Ovals Collection Framelits, Perfect Polka Dot folder
Extras: Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button pack, 3/8" Designer Printed Brads, Paper Crimper 

One of the nice things about Craft Project Central's challenges is that Kris, who designs the sketches also does a mini tutorial on her card.  It makes it very easy to participate.  I would encourage you to join in the fun and guess what, you have a whole month to complete the challenge.

Hope to stamp with you soon!

More Amore Book for Stella

A month ago I shared with you a baby card I made using the Two by Two stamp and the More Amore Designer Series Paper.  I also made a little mini scrapbook to go along with some other gifts for the new baby.  

If you are a subscriber to my newsletter this scrapbook will look familiar.  The pattern is the same as  the last project I shared during the 12 Weeks of Christmas series.

Do you want to hear something cute?  The father of the baby wrote a thank you note and told us that he thought he was supposed to fill the scrapbook with pictures of the baby and send it back to us.  His wife convinced him that the book was for them to keep but I kinda like his idea better.  Maybe next time i will send two books and see if I get one back filled with baby pictures.

Hope to stamp with you soon!
