Today's tutorial will give you one more way to use your Stamparatus! Did you know that you can use it for mirror image stamping? I used it on this card so I could have two kitties on my card - and they would both work in my punch. But - you can simply use a mirrored image on a card and not punch it out. I will do that for you sometime on another project. Another big tip - when you use a stamp set - hold your hand over the 'main image' - this allows you to REALLY see the images … [Read more...] about Nine Lives: Stamparatus Mirror Image Technique Cat Card
Painted Season and Well Said Easy Succulent Birthday Card
I have come to the last card that I have made with the Painted Seasons bundle of products!! I only have a couple of projects left that use anything from Sale-a-Bration 2019 left on them! Seriously - Where has the year gone?! It's really ok - this card makes me see visions of spring and as I type this my security system by my computer tells me it's already 55 degrees at 9am! BUT - you do need to get any of those last Sale-A-Bration items that are on your list. Friday March 15th I … [Read more...] about Painted Season and Well Said Easy Succulent Birthday Card
Painted Seasons {when you don't have a mushroom!} Embedded Linen Sticker Technique
Today I use the Painted Seasons paper....with the stamp as intended - no mushrooms, no whimsical animals - just the lovely fern. And lovely it is! The name of the technique is just something I totally made up, lol. And....really, there are two techniques in the card. First - to get the fern to stamp and match the one on the paper - it takes a little stamp and color with some inks and shimmer. Then - to ADD some mushrooms (because, you know, obsessed) I came up with my very own … [Read more...] about Painted Seasons {when you don't have a mushroom!} Embedded Linen Sticker Technique
So Hoppy Framelits?
I have had so many questions about the Frog Card tutorial I posted last week. So - I am just going to address them all here! I am occupied with so many projects right now, so this can answer all your questions (hopefully!) at once! I don't have any 'extra' dies to sell, sorry. I know they sold out super quickly. I did make the springs - as did the ladies that came to camp. They are simple, but fiddly to make. Not easy to film - and not at all easy to put into words. Everything is … [Read more...] about So Hoppy Framelits?
It's Been Almost a Year….Time to Document Some of Our Irish Adventures!
In March of 2017 we took a 2 week trip to Scotland and Iceland. As we were flying home from Iceland - they needed volunteers to give up their seats in exchange for some freebies from the airline. We couldn't take them up on their deluxe offer because we had to still get home that same day. They routed us to a different city and gave us each a free round trip ticket to use within a year of anywhere they flew. Due to the crazy busy year we had we literally had no days to use the tickets until … [Read more...] about It's Been Almost a Year….Time to Document Some of Our Irish Adventures!
Home to Roost – A Return to the Simple Style of Stamping!
Finishing up with my videos from camp and for Sale-a-Bration 2019. The Frog and Cupcake dies have now sold out. If you are thinking about getting the Lily or the Four Season dies - remember both are while supplies last - and as recent history shows, they are a hot item. Don't wait to get them! I am considering doing an offer which will incorporates the precut (blank) frog dies and a tutorial on how to use them. If you are interested in that, comment below that post. If there seems to be … [Read more...] about Home to Roost – A Return to the Simple Style of Stamping!
Honey Buttermilk Bread and Pumpkin Soup!
It's that time of year when you know spring is 'springing' and you are not quite sure when it might "stick" I tend to cook seasonally - there are just some big No's in our house. Once the weather warms there won't be another pot of chili or stew til that first frost hits again sometime in October. It can be a problem in September when the Colts kick off and it is still humid and 100 and it seems like you 'need' some chili, but that would be a huge exception. So now that it's March and we … [Read more...] about Honey Buttermilk Bread and Pumpkin Soup!
Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper with Storybook Mushroom + Blends Tutorial
Have you fallen in love with the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper as much as I have? While I love all of the 4 patterns in it - I am obsessed with the mushroom one. Obsessed. You can get the paper 2 ways (and both make the paper free!) First - free with any $50 purchase - that way you just get the paper. Which is all you need to make the card in this tutorial. Or, if you want the matching stamp set (which doesn't include a mushroom - but does have images that match all the … [Read more...] about Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper with Storybook Mushroom + Blends Tutorial
