Craft Faire Fun!

I had a great weekend working a craft faire! I met some really wonderful gals & even sold a few things! Meeting new friends is always such a blessing! Anyway I wanted to share a project I made to sell at the faire.

I really like how they turned out. I made a pocket in the back for a gift card, cash, or a note by cutting another scallop circle in half. I attached it around the edge with some tombo multi glue & brads for added support. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Recycled Cup Lid!

I have been on this crazy "Re-Purposing" kick for a couple days & finally had a few minutes to take some photos of what I've been up to. So this is one of the things I made using a lid from a Starbucks cup! I just used my craft scissors to trim out the top of the cup & the 2 1/2" circle punch fits well inside the groove. I covered the rim with tombo multi glue & glitter.
I came up with a new punch art reindeer!!

The reindeer is made with the bird punch, word window, & the swirls scribbles die. I used the leaves from bird punch for the ears. For the nose I put a mini glue dot on a brad & dipped in the glitter. Cute?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sparkly Butterfly

Just a quick post. I saw this cute butterfly idea on Andrea Walfords blog & I wanted to make one for my niece's birthday card. Body starts as a word window & is hand cut. I think it came out pretty cute!  What do ya think?

Beautifully Simple!

Sample #3 for my next SAS. I made a bunch of cards the last couple days & finally decided this was my favorite! I will post the rejects another day. It's hard to see but I sponged a bit of the champagne shimmer paint around the edges & on the image to give it a little sparkle. Nice effect in person! :)

Santa SAS Card

Well my birthday wish for today was to spend all day in my stamp room but with a house full of kids & hubby at work I knew that wasn't gonna happen. Anyway I did manage to photograph sample #2 for the Nov 13 Stamp a Stack. I just love this Santa image! Since its for a SAS I did a quick coloring job with markers. Markers used: Blushing Bride, Bashful Blue, Going Gray, Pretty in Pink, & Real Red.
I'll be back tomorrow with more samples. Thanks for stopping by today!

Stamp a Stack #2 is Coming!

I think Christmas Stamp a Stacks are my favorite events! I really LOVE designing Christmas cards! Here is my first card. I was inspired by a couple cards I saw by Renee Van Stralen. She does such beautiful work! This card has a pretty shimmer spray on it but it was impossible to get it to show up in the photo. My next class is on Nov 13.  I have a few dates available for you to schedule a class just for you & your friends! Choose from SAS session 1 or 2's samples. My place or yours! Anyway stay tuned tomorrow for more Stamp a Stack samples!
