Hi Everyone Last week I did a class on using sponges and this is one of the cards that we made. It uses the Still Night stamp set that is new in the Holiday Catalog. I just love that owl, I was drawn to it right away when I flipped through the catalog for the first time. I used to have several little stuffed animal owls when I was little. I'm not sure why I liked them, maybe their big eyes.
The class focused on sponges and for this card we made a mask out of a large Post-it note and a circle punch. We then used sponged to add Balmy Blue and Night of Navy ink to the masked off area. The resulting circle sky is the perfect spotlight for our owl.
You can see this in action by checking out the video below!
Check out these cute little treat bags from Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin.
You get supplies to make 24 treat bags, including a stamp set and ink pad, for just $18.00 (=tax and shipping). They are so cute! and you can keep using that stamp set on other Halloween projects after you've made your treat bags. Hand out something special to the kids on your bloc, in your child's class, girl/boy scout troop, or surprise the people in your office with this little treat on their desk for Halloween.
Need more than 24? No Problem, there is a refill kit for just $9 without the ink and stamp set. Now that is a great deal!!
Full kit comes with everything seen here, plus instructions. Refill has everything except the ink spot and stamps.
Supplies are limited, so contact me today to get yours! bethrush@issinternet.com
Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing my new Stamp Camp To Go, featuring a fun stamp set from the Holiday catalog called Spirited Snowmen. The set features three adorable snowmen images and so my Stamp Camp To Go makes three adorable projects!
This kit makes 2 cards and a fun pull-up hot cocoa packet.
This Stamp Camp To Go is available in a few different ways.
Kit
and PDF FREE with a $50 purchase. Purchase the Stamp set and some
colors you may not have, such as Granny Apple Green, Pool Party or Poppy
Parade. (Does not have to include the spirited Snowmen stamp set in
case you already have it.) Host Code for September is QUJBFJAY contact me if you are not familiar with how to use it.
The
PDF is available for $5.00. The PDF is a set of directions for all
three projects in PDF form with color photos and measurements. This is a
great option for demonstrators or people who belong to other groups or
clubs where they have purchase commitments.
Purchase the
PDF and pre-cut paper supplies for $12.00 shipped to you via mail. Each
additional kit $5.00 (this means extra card kits but not an extra PDF so
you can make 2 of each card or 3 or more). You would need your own
stamp set, ink and adhesives.
Purchase the Stamp set, PDF, and pre-cut kit for $30.00 clear mount, $38.00 wood mount.
I
used Stampin' Blends to color in my images. Other great options are
Stampin' Write Markers, Watercolor Pencils, or ink and blender pen.
Colors used are Poppy Parade, Soft Sky, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie
(nose) Smokey Slate, Night of Navy, Soft Suede, and Basic Black.
Take a look at my other Stamp Camp To Go kits to see what else is available. If it is still pictured, I still have it :) Click the Tab under my Blog Header, I will combine shipping where possible.
The new Holiday Catalog goes live tomorrow! I sent one to all my customers from this last year, if you haven't received yours yet, please let me know!! I will have it linked on the side bar tomorrow morning!
There are so many great new products, I know that you will find something you love!
Hi Everyone! Today I made this fun card for a dear lady who is having a bad month health wise. Her name is Margarete and she was my Sunday School Teacher 40 years ago when I was 8, and she once taught my sister and I how to make these paper cranes. I think it was supposed to be a dove from the story of John the Baptiste, or something along those lines. She would also make them when the grown ups were having a meeting and she would keep the kids entertained with these and homemade play-dough and all sorts of things. She is a crafter! She sews and crochets and the whole nine yards, but she doesn't stamp that I know of. Every so often she helps me out now when I am doing some kid crafty thing at church and she will ask me if I remember when she taught me one thing or another. She almost always mentions the cranes, and she love to tell the kids in the class that she was my teacher when I was their age. I wanted to make her a card to say that I was thinking about her an wishing her well and I was looking at some of my stamp sets and trying to think which to use, maybe Healing Hugs or Dandelion Wishes, but then I saw this and I just knew I had to use it. This says Miss Margarete.
Here is the inside. Isn't that fun? I made a mini paper crane to hang in the circle cut out. It folds flat nicely and so it will be easy to mail!
I know she will be tickled when she gets it.
I made a how to video for the card as well as the paper crane.
The Artfully Folded stamp set is a host set, which means it can't just be bought outright, it needs to be earned with a $150 order. But maybe that is not in the cards for you, you might like to spread your purchases out a bit I get that. So, I share my host rewards with you thought my Frequent Buyer Rewards program. Earn points over time and then choose this, or another set, with your rewards. You can learn about the program by clicking the tab under my blog header.
