I have been hard at work creating the projects for this winters camps!

Christmas Angel Gift Card Bag
I have several videos that I have ready - just have been too crazy busy to post them! Keep checking back here and I will try to get them up before Christmas. Today's project features a fun bag - that was all one big experiment to me!I used Stampin Up's stamp set WONDER OF CHRISTMAS - which if you look a few weeks back, you will see a card that showcases this same set. I had ordered the glassine bags - and wanted to use them at camp, but had not played around with them … [Read more...] about Christmas Angel Gift Card Bag
Twinkle Trees – Non traditional Colors Card
This is a fun card - it was actually a collaboration between my friend, Tonya, and I. I had an idea in my head - sort of explained it to her and she went to town! It turned out lovely. It is fairly quick - but very easy. Of course when I decided to use it for my swaps for an upcoming event this weekend with Stampin Up! (On Stage in Atlanta) - I didn't account for the glitter accent and running so many of them thru the Big Shot. However - if I was able to create that … [Read more...] about Twinkle Trees – Non traditional Colors Card
Star of Light – quick and easy Christmas Card
Good News! I got two really quick cards on video this weekend. Bad News! It gets dark so early now that it is hard for me to get them done in Natural Light. So - you will see that they both have some shadows and don't show all the sparkle that is on the cards. That said they are done!My goal in my videos is to keep them as quick as possible. I don't really care to watch someone stamp for over 25 minutes to make one card and I bet that some of you are like me. If you … [Read more...] about Star of Light – quick and easy Christmas Card
Starburst Angel Card
This was my favorite card from October's camp! I don't know if I have enjoyed any technique in over 20 years of stamping as much as watercoloring with the Wink of Stella. So very pretty!Here is a quick 3 minute video to show you how to make this gorgeous card!A couple of things you will notice as you watch:I am coloring with ink refills, you only need a drop or two of each color. While she would be even more stunning in multitudes of color - this is geared for multiples … [Read more...] about Starburst Angel Card
Santa's Sleigh
This card takes a bit longer than some Christmas quickies - but the results give you something to send that will earn it's place on someone's mantle!This is a great bundle. You can see that I let the embossing powders be the 'star' of this show on this card. Originally I also had the sleigh embossed in copper, but it was one step too much - so I chose the sleigh to shine with the copper foil paper.I did use red, green, black and silver powders. They give a nice strong outline … [Read more...] about Santa's Sleigh
Glamper Birthday!
This card is almost as much fun to make as it is to give!A little bit of two step stamping - and a little watercolor with a blender pen - all you need to pull off this.Not only is the camper old style, but the stamp set is too. What do I mean by that? There is no Big Shot accessory set with it, so it will require just a touch of fussy cutting.....Not too much as most of the photopolymer allow for perfect positioning while stamping.Because we had made this card at camp in September, I … [Read more...] about Glamper Birthday!
Multi texture Paisleys and Posies card
This card has a lot of texture - as you will see by the number of different papers used on it.The colored paisleys are stamped on watercolor cardstock and painted with clear Stella and ink pads.The large paisley is cut with the gold foil acetate and the smaller more intricate from the new copper paper.Add some copper cord - a pretty stamped background (almost too pretty to cover up!) … [Read more...] about Multi texture Paisleys and Posies card
