In addition to the measuring spoons, oven mitt, and spatula, there’s also a grater, a mixer, a mixing bowl, and a dozen eggs. If you like this set, be sure to order quickly. All retiring stamps are now WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

Traveler Birthday

I was invited to participate in Kylie’s International Highlights this month. The theme is masculine cards, and I just so happen to have one of those! I sometimes struggle with designing masculine cards, as I’m drawn to flowers and butterflies (and glitter).

This card uses stamps and an embossing folder that will be retiring at the end of this month, so if you like them, you should get them while you can! And, if you like my card, please vote for it here!

Stamps: Traveler, Wetlands, Gorgeous Grunge

Cardstock: Always Artichoke, Sahara Sand, Basic Gray

Ink: Basic Gray, Always Artichoke

Other: Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 2″ Circle Punch, Linen Thread

Thanks for visiting today, and remember, if you like my card, please vote for it here.

Nailed It – Take 2

We made a toolbelt card in Stamp Club last month. You can see it here. I promised my club members that I would show them a “stepped up” version of the card. This is a re-creation of a card from the Occasions Catalog.

On the original version, we stamped the tools in basic black on white and colored them with an aquapainter. We also stamped the screw heads on the pockets. On my stepped up version here, I stamped the tools on silver foil, and again on Island Indigo (screwdriver and hammer) and Crushed Curry (saw). I cut the handles off the cardstock images and adhered them to the silver foil images.

I also used markers to color the Happy Fathers Day in two colors instead of one. And, I used the screw heads from the Urban Underground Embellishments on the pockets. I think it really dresses this card up. What do you think?

Stamps: Nailed It

Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Island Indigo, Crushed Curry, Silver Foil

Ink: Sahara Sand, Jet Black StazOn

Dies/Punches: Build It Framelits, Project Life Corner Rounder, 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, 2″ Circle Punch

Other: Markers (Island Indigo, Crushed Curry), sponge

Stitched with Cheer Treat Bag

I know Christmas has come and gone, but I still have a few things to show you. You can adapt these for other seasons, or save the ideas for next year.

This is one of the bonus projects from Christmas Card Stamp Camp. I got the idea from Darla Olson. You can view hers here.

This is an easy treat bag that you can whip up at the last minute. Change the stamps and embossing folder and it could be used for any occasion.

Tip: When you are using the Dynamic Embossing folders, spritz your bag (or cardstock) lightly with water before embossing. It relaxes the fibers in the paper/cardstock, allowing for a deeper embossed image.
