Ornament Joy Card

This is another great card from the monthly swap but there was no "recipe" inside the card so I don't know who created it.

Sorry for the lack of posting these past few days; my kiddos have been sick and I totally forgot about posting.  LOL!  

Happy stamping!

My stamping nook

Well...here goes!  I just spent over 12 hours sorting and pitching.  I had my sewing stuff and part of my stamp stuff in the closet and the rest of the stamp stuff was in the laundry room.  "Stuff" is such a great word; it accurately describes what we accumulate in our lives.  LOL!  Now the stamping closet is JUST FOR STAMPING (note to self).  Some of you have been curious what my nook looks like so here is the big reveal.  Hope you are not too disappointed. 

Below the desk (under the color caddy) there are plastic drawers of retired stamps, envelopes, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Club Project - Evergreen Card with a Twist

 This card was created by Suzanne Carlisle, my upline.  The ladies at club loved it and so the card below is my version.  Both of my club project cards will be made with the Evergreen stamp set.


 This is a fun club project!  It is fairly simple to make if you have the proper tools.
  1. Cut Vanilla CS long (4 1/4" x 11").
  2. On the Simply Scored score from the top right corner to the bottom left corner.  I made a mark down the entire 6" groove with a sharpie marker not long after I purchased it because the mark simplifies life.  (-:
  3. Fold the card in half and burnish heavily.
  4. Cut the DSP 2 x 5 1/2" long.  Cut it diagonally from the top right corner to the bottom left corner.  I lined up the corners in the groove of the cutter.
Stamp Set:
Evergreen
Delightful Dozen

Colors:
Very Vanilla
Early Espresso
Crumb Cake
Lucky Limeade
Always Artichoke

Punches:  
2 3/8" scallop circle punch
2 1/2" circle punch

Supplies:

Festival of Prints DSP
Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon
 Big Shot and platform
3" circle die
Champagne shimmer paint (8 or 9 drops in a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol)
Dazzling Details (Cherry Cobbler or Clear)
Holiday Collection Framelits (the star)
Champagne glitter paper
Sponges
Adhesive, snail and sticky strip
Dimensionals

Happy stamping!
