Moving Day

Okay, this is it! I am making myself move over to my other blog. Not everything there is working properly and I'm still learning BUT the posts are fine. So all my new card making, scrapbooking, and rubber stamping ideas can be found there.

I hope you will join me at thestampinglady.com

Ornament Punch Eases Card Making

I'm not quite ready for red and green so...here's a card idea with old olive and elegant eggplant.

Shimmer and shine are so hard to photograph. You'll just have to trust that the card is pretty in person! The "be merry" is stamped in silver and the white ornament is stamped with Frost White Shimmer Paint.

This card is made with the following Stampin' Up! supplies:

• whisper white for card base and punched ornament
• elegant eggplant and old olive cardstock
• Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper
• Frost White Shimmer Paint
• Encore silver and Versamark ink
• stamp sets Delightful Decorations and Warm Words

Thank Goodness For My Digital Studio

Life is a little busy right now and I need to get a calendar done for an early Christmas present. I honestly did this page in about 30 seconds with My Digital Studio! Yes, this page is simple and they will not all be that way. But--wowza! I should be able to get the whole thing done and ordered today.

*Added bonus is that I can change a few photos and have them ready for other family members in a flash!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Eastern Blooms Dresses Up This Holiday Purse

This is my favorite project from my Christmas in July stamp camp projects. I got the idea for the nugget purse from Angie Juda. They go together in a flash and I have plans to make a bunch to hang on a wooden Christmas tree.

All it takes:

cardstock : real red 5"x 1-1/2" plus scrap, soft suede 3/8" x 5-1/8"

stamps: Eastern Blooms, tiny flower for background

ink: versamark, soft suede

accessories: gold mini-brad, gold braid (sewing section of craft store)

tools: scoring blade, crop-o-dile, corner rounder, mini glue dots

• stamp background then score real red at 1-1/2", 2-1/2", and 4"
• hold soft suede strip on real red and fold along score lines Tip: do not score the soft suede, just fold it along with the red
• purse does not open, just slide candy in the side

Just to give you an idea of how small these are. Notice how I had to take out the nugget to show you because I ate all the others!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Serene Snowflakes Make Holiday Card Sparkle

This might just be my Christmas card this year. I just love how it turned out! And it's kinda funny because I really didn't like Soft Suede when it came out but now I love it.

Here's what I used:

• ruby red cardstock for the base cut to 11" x 4-1/4"


• soft suede cardstock cut to 4-1/4" x 3"


• whisper white cardstock cut to 4" x 2-3/4"


• soft suede ink


• Serene Snowflakes stamp set and a retired one for the sentiment because I don't have the lovely Four the Holidays yet!


• silver elastic cord (109866) Tip: this cord is stretchy and ties wonderfully, it add just the right amount of sparkle


• clear crystal brad
  

Thanks for stopping by!
