New Magnetic Platform

The new BFF of your Framelits and Edgelits! Exclusive magnetic platform to hold your Framelits and Edgelits in place when you cut.

I guess that I had never really stopped to look at this item in the catalog but, when I watched the youtube video, the magnetic platform immediately went on my wish list.  WOW!  Check out the video because this handy, dandy platform is going to save us time and cardstock.

Thank you to Kate Imus for this cool swap!

Tomorrow I will post the first of my Stamp Camp projects so check back on Wednesday morning.  Things are slow going but at least I know why I am dragging my heels.  Doc office called today and I am fighting strep AND mono.  Phew!  Once I get on meds for the mono I should start to feel more like stamping again.  

Happy stamping!

PS I hope to return to regular postings now.  I am having a hard time shaking this strep in addition to company and travel.  I can hardly wait to start posting my stamp camp projects!

Just one more use for that fabulous Mosaic Madness stamp set!  It is clean and simple and fast.  Don't forget that you will get this stamp set at Stamp Camp on July 13th at McAlisters Deli from 2-5 pm.

Birthday card with Lots of Embossed Layers

Love how this card turned out!  It has so many lovely layers of embossing!

Sorry about the lack of posts lately.  I had company AND discovered that I had strep (Ah-ha moment when I realized why I felt so crumby...lol).  Posts will be hit or miss for about one more week until I get rested up and over this bout.  It does not show up as strep throat so it gets worse and worse as it builds up in my body.  Sigh...I never do anything by halves!  (-:

Hello Mosaic Madness Card

Here is my version of the card on page 121 of the new catalog.  It needs bling so I am considering adding rhinestones.  Hmmm...  I was contemplating this as a club project but decided to go with the My Friend card a few days ago.

My posting might be spotty for the next week or so because my sister and her family are here visiting now.  I only get to see her every two or three years because they live in a foreign country.

Hello to everyone!  Here is my first club project but it is just a "pattern" for the way I would like to make it when my new goodies arrive.  I plan to use the Artisan punch and a label set for the sentiment.

I CASED this card from Wendy Wexler.  She used First Edition paper and the cute Artisan punch.  My hero!

Pistachio Pudding (new)
Very Vanilla

Stamps:
En Francais
Petite Pairs
Clockworks

Supplies:
Early Espresso ribbon or bakers string
Dimensionals
Decorative Label or Artisan Label (new)
Oval punch
Sponges
Simply Scored
Simply Scored Diagonal Plate

1. In 1" intervals score the Vanilla card stock on the diagonal plate; score in both directions.
2. Sponge brown sugar ink along score lines.
3. Stamp the clockworks stamp multiple times with Early Espresso ink.
4. Stamp En Francais stamp on Vanilla CS with Early Espresso ink.
5. Stamp sentiment on Vanilla CS with Pistachio ink.  Punch and layer.  Mount with dimensionals.
