Techniques Class

Here is a little Sneak Peek of the 3 projects we will be completing at my Techniques class on April 4th. We will use baby wipes, beads, and bleach to create these effects. Please contact me if you are interested in attending.

Old School Truck

Hopefully my brother-in-law to be doesn't read my blog because here is the birthday card I made for him (his birthday isn't until the 12th). He is a painter specializing in real flame paint jobs on motorbikes. I'm not that talented so I will stick to old school flames. The stamp set I used is Loads of Love. The wheels are Jumbo eyelets.

A Few More Samples

Here are the two make'n'takes from last week's Open House. The first one is a square card using the Level 2 hostess set - A Little Somethin'. It is a 3X3 card to fit in the small square envelopes.

The other was a simple card using the sweetest stem embosslit (in the Big Shot), the scallop edge punch and a square punch to create the V shape on the sayings tag.

Finally, here is a VERY quick valentine I whipped up for Matthew's 3 class teachers. This card is 3.5" X 4.5". I used the 'A Happy Heart' stamp set in real red.

Happy Stampin'!

Shoebox Swap

Here are the cards I made today at the Team Canada monthly meeting. If you are interested in details about these cards, or want to know how you can join our demo group please contact me.

Basket of Treats

I found Valentine coloured candy corn at Thrifty's this week, so couldn't resist making up a little basket of treats for my husband, John (candy corn is his favourite - but usually only available at Halloween).

I used Real Red DSP, A Happy Heart stamp set, and my Baskets & Blooms die in the Big Shot. I did have to get a bit creative for the tag. I stamped the images, cut it 1.5" rectangle and then ran it through until the top had cut, then reversed it so I could keep the long tag. Then I rounded the bottom corners. It was much easier than that all sounds. For a final touch I punched out some flowers and added them to the basket with a rhinestone brad.

If you want to know more or to give the Big Shot a try please contact me. I love showing how this amazing tool works.
