Double Stamping

My friend Jan let me borrow some of her stamps to play with.

This set was a double time stamp set.

I stamped the flowers in yellow and then stamped them again in black.

It was a fun card to make although I could not

use my MISTI as these stamps were wood mounted.

Thanks Jan for letting me borrow them,

I had fun making this card!

Yard Sale Goodies

I went to a garage sale that was full of crafts.

I got 8 Stampin Up Sets, 6 clings stamps,

5 wood mount stamps and 6 paper packs.

All for under $25! 

The story is when the girl that was having the sale moved into her house,

all these crafts were left in the basement by the previous owner.

The lady that left them must have been a hoarder because you should

have seen what was at that sale!  All kinds of scrapbook and stamp

supplies, too many to mention.

The girl that owns the house does not craft and just wanted that

stuff out of her basement, so she sold it cheap.

I sure benefited!!!

Thank you cards

My girlfriend Kim asked me to make her some thank you cards

to send to friends after her father's passing.  She asked me to make them elegant

but simple.  I thought these would fit the bill.  

I used a Taylored Expressions die and the sentiment

is from Stampin Up.

Napkin Craze

Well I learned a new technique using Mod Podge and table napkins

this week and I went crazy making them.  They turned out so colorful and beautiful.  

I don't think my camera shows the bling very well but they are blingy for sure. 

I am in a Facebook group that swapped napkins

and that is where a lot of the napkins came from on these cards.

Pewter Technique

I went to a new craft store in town and they were demonstrating this 

pewter technique.  I thought it was so cool that I had to come home

and try it.  For my first try, I thought it came out pretty good.  The bow

is a die I bought at Adventures in Stamping that same day.

Pet Sympathy Cards

A friend of mine asked me to make her some pet sympathy cards.

This was way out of my comfort zone but I did get her 12 cards made.

Just sharing!

Red and Black Birthday

I am going to Cozy Crop again in April.  

I have been making card kits to take with me.

This was one kit that was fun to make.

These flowers are a new die from Nestabilities.

I am always drawn to red and black for

some reason!

I have been running out of cards for personal use

so I am making a ton of these at Cozy Crop just for me

to use!
