November Club Card 3

I realized that I forgot to post this card last month!  Yikes!  I have been super busy all week and neglected to post.  My kiddos wanted Renaissance fair costumes so I have made a cape/cloak for each one; I have my son's pirate style shirt almost completed and then I start on my daughter's dress...all to be completed before Christmas!  Double yikes!  Maybe I will post some pics when my projects are completed?

Inspiration card

I didn't like the Cherry Cobbler color on this card.  It looked too much like a patriotic card!

I will probably still tweak on this card.  I think that I will not sponge on it and add Rich Razzleberry to the inside of the card instead of white.  Maybe...

Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Camp Card 1

Here is the first card!  I had a bit of trouble getting the center of the bear to ink up but I am going to gently take an eraser to the stamp (remove chemical residue) and then put my Versamark pad in my kit for stamp camp after refilling the Crumb Cake pad.  Sometimes if you stamp with versamark and then with the color that helps to get a crisper image.

More stamp camp cards will be posted soon!

Happy stamping!

My lastest bulletin board

Here is my latest creative attempt.  I am responsible for the bulletin board in the lower hallway at church and it is a big one!  For the past week or so it has been a winter scene because I kept forgetting to bring my supplies to church.  I found this board idea on Pinterest (where else?) and my faithful helper, Alysson, assisted me this morning.  I found most of the supplies at the Dollar Tree (cue the happy music) and just recycle the lettering and borders.  I decided this morning that I am going to treat myself to red or orange letters the next time I am near the Teacher's store because I am ready for another color!  LOL!

I found myself with a bit of time (nap versus stamp and you guessed which is chose to do) so I have a bunch of posts ready to go for those dry spells when I am too busy to stamp.  Gasp...not sure what kind of world we live in when a person is too busy to stamp but oh well!  (-:  I have been playing with the Gorgeous Grunge set paired with the Layering Love set.  Next week I will also be posting cards for my club and playing with the Paisley bundle.  I am ON PURPOSE NOT going to play with that bundle until Monday so that I have something REALLY fun to anticipate.  Sorry...problem with the caps lock button there...snicker!

The kidlings are going to be gone all day at a teen youth conference so I am hoping for stamping time!  Hooray!  Hmmm...what project should I work on next?  Maybe my Cookier Cutter Christmas class will get some posting time?  I am super excited about that class!!  I felt so crummy for so long that it is great to feeling well enough to care about having a class!

Happy stamping!
Stef

Enjoy the Little Things card

I have been uber busy and fighting allergies so I haven't had much of a chance to stamp.  I pulled out the Layering Love set and my favorite...Gorgeous Grunge.  For inspiration I used a cute card from the Stampin' Success magazine (for demos by SU) and changed up a Christmas card to fit what I wanted.
