Valentine Goodies





My friend Jesse made these super cute Valentines for everyone at club last week.  I love the fact that the mouse in the top left corner actually had cheese in his mouth!!  Thanks, Jesse!!

Happy stamping!

Sympathy Card from Julie

Can I just say that Julie makes the most stunning cards!  I am a fast stamper and she is methodical, detail oriented stamper.  This card was created for a friend who just lost her sister to cancer.  I can see the hugs woven into the card!

Happy stamping!

Mixed Medallions Card Kit for club

This card is simply not photogenic!  LOL!  I had to hold it closed so that it would stay flat but I am sure that a trip through the post office would fix that problem!  (I can hear the Momma Card say to the Baby Card..."If you don't straighten out, you will have a trip to the post office in your future!")  Yes, I am in a slap happy mood. 

This is a super kit and comes free with every $50 purchased!  It even has glue dots enclosed in the packet!

Brusho Celebrate Card for Club

Hello!  I had fun playing with the Brusho for this card.  I also pulled out my Celebrate You thinlit dies and loved them!

The Brusho was super easy to use.  I did NOT open the bottle but instead poked a hole in the lid with a push pin and saved the pin to act as a "stopper".  I sprinkled the red Brusho on my watercolor paper and then spritzed it with water.  After I let the red bleed into the water I added a few sprinkles of the Prussian blue.  Very cool!!!

Note to self...either punch the circle before you spritz or after the watercolor paper is completely dry.  One edge was not neatly punched out and I had to trim it a bit after it dried. 

Happy stamping!

Picture Perfect Birthday Card #1 for JC Club


Hello All!  Funny story...I was in the shower (best ideas ever there!) and realized that I promoted the stripes folder for stamp camp but then forgot to use it for my projects.  Guess what?  I will be reworking a few of those projects next week so that the Stripes folder is used.  I have a big basket of goodies that I fill up while I work on stamp camp items and it got so full that I "lost" my folder. 

Can I give a shout out for the Tutti Fruity sequins???  WOW!  I am in love with them!!!

This week is all about my club postings so keep watching.  Next week I will have posts with the Ashland club projects.  Plus....I have a few cards from Julie (trumpet plays here). 

Have a great President's Day!  The dictator in our house decreed that we continue with school today.  Hmmm, I wonder who that dictator is?  LOL!

PIcture Perfect Stamp Camp Card #5





Here is the last card for my stamp camp.  I apologize for the picture quality because my pic on the camera looks much better; for some reason it translates blurry on this program.  Sounds like a problem to solve this week...

Stamp Camp Pop and Twist Card


This card is my favorite one and the most tricky to create.  I watched several YouTube videos but this gal had the easiest tutorial to follow.  Plus she used inches instead of centimeters!  LOL!

I was super happy because a teen girl in my household was impressed with the card and usually I just get a "that's nice, Mom..."  Home run!!

Happy stamping!

Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Camp card #3

I think that this card is by far my favorite in the bunch!  I am super excited to work on the next card though and plan to do a fancy fold for it; last night I was scoping out Pinterest until the late hours of the night cuz it is so stinkin' addictive!  LOL!  I will have a bonus fifth card and plan to use a Sale-a-bration card set for that project.  There is something so nice about matching cards and envelopes when you don't have to personally cut them. 

In the spirit of total honesty I send Pink Buckaroo Designs a big thank you for the PDF that she sold to me!  LOL!

Happy stamping!

Picture Perfect Stamp Camp Card #1

Hello All!  After a morning in the kitchen cooking and then working on school paperwork/grades...I am ready to stamp!  I will be posting stamp camp pics all week so keep coming back to check on my progress.  Here is the first card and it is super fun!  I splurged and purchased a pdf with cute projects from Pink Buckaroo Designs for some of my card projects.

This stamp camp Cindy will be serving us soup and salad for a change up in the menu.  I may try to talk her into a cobbler as well.  Yum!  Sign up soon as space is limited!

Happy stamping!

Easy Baby Card

I needed a quick baby card so I whipped up this card.  My favorite trick is to make four of the same card and slide the extras into my card drawer for future use (or a fun gift of cards).  The funny thing about this card was that I forgot that they had asked for a child's book instead of a card.  Guess where I stopped on the way to the shower???  Walmart!  LOL!

Happy stamping!
