Class Projects - last installment and A Giveaway!!!

As promised, here are the rest of the projects we made yesterday in the "love-themed" class!

This one uses the Seeds of Blessing stamps colored in with markers. It's hard to tell in the photo, but we painted the "heart wings" with Candle Light Shimmerz.



The next card uses a stamp from the All Occasion Icons set and paper from the Uptown girl collection. We stamped the image with Versamark, heat embossed using black embossing powder then cut out the image and adhered it with pop dots.



This sweet little decor project uses Catelynne papers and the Love Blooms set in the Fall Supplement. All on a 4" square coaster with a magnet on the back.



And our last project is an oldie, but a goodie! Especially for using up those little clamshell cases that the Free GWP stamps come in. Four Hershey nuggets fit perfectly in those. We used the January Stamp of the Month Dropping Boxes on address labels to wrap the nuggets. The outside is decorated with a couple of little images from the Sweet Goodies set and finished off with some cute heart ribbon from one of the big-box craft stores.






Want a chance to make these projects? I have 2 class kits left over to send out to two lucky winners. All the cutting, stamping, embossing will be done so you can just put these 6 little projects together in a jiffy! That would be a great way to get some Valentine's cards and gifts made if you find yourself running short on time. And yes...the chocolate is included! *wink*

Twinkle Toes Bookmark

Addison and I have started reading Charlotte's Web each night before bed. We're only reading one chapter a night, so we need something to mark our place. I made this bookmark for her tonight using the Twinkle Toes stamp set and paper from the Uptown Girl collection. I "colored" in the ballerina with Pink, Black Diamond and StarDust stickles. The fiber is Basic Grey and the bling is from Heidi Swapp. I think she'll just love it!

It's the Day for Love!!

This card was made for a swap with some other Angels. I used the Love Doodles stamp set and Uptown Girl paper collection. Hope you're celebrating in a big way today!

Just Wild - Beate's WSC #29

That's what this card is! I needed to whip out a really quick card for my daughter. She is 6 years old now....or she will be when she wakes up in the morning. I was happy to see Beate is back to posting her weekly sketches, so I knew I had a place to jump off. I also wanted to use my Wild For You set, and the Uptown Girl papers seemed perfect for my little girl. I inked up each word of the sentiment with my Tombow markers separately, stamped, then inked up the next word, etc. to make it go around the circle. It's hard to see in the scan, but I added a pink jewel on top of the black brad for a little extra punch that a six-year old will appreciate. Thanks Beate for another great sketch!

CPS 44 - Out with the Old....In with the New!!

Yesterday was the last day to order the retiring paper collections and stamp sets....including the Cheers set that I used to make this Happy New Year's card. I started with the sketch from CPS 44. The black circle is Cuttlebugged using the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder. Cardstock from Bazzill, Ribbon is Offray. Paper is from the Uptown Girl WingItCollection. The images were stamped with Starlite Silver Brilliance ink, and I added Stardust Stickles to the drink in the glass and the bubbles in the air.

















As much as I hate to see the Cheers set retire, I am really excited about the new catalog! I have my one copy....still waiting for my order to arrive so I can get one in your hands ASAP! If you placed an order with me in 2007, I will automatically be sending you one when they arrive.

















I will let you have a peek of the new GWP's. These are the complimentary stamps ("Gift With Purchase") you get for placing an order of $30 or more. I already have a few of these on my wish list. You should be able to enlarge the image by clicking on it. The Bind-It-All and ScorPal are also in the new catalog! My wish list just gets longer and longer. LOL

Please let me know if I can help you get a catalog! I can't wait for you to see it.
