It’s almost the weekend and we continue to have pretty cold weather-perfect to stay inside and stamp! Of course I could be cleaning the house too but what fun is that? Instead I clean my Stamping desk!
This cute card is so fun and it’s also a card kit!! Frog Card Kit
Quick note about ordering, if you want any of the holiday card kits before Christmas, please order before 12/10. We have family plans coming up and will not be able to ship from 12/12-12/19. By 12/20, Christmas will be right around the corner and anything shipped will not be able to make it in time.
We are hoping to get a few more holiday card kits to the website but time is running out. 😬 😅
After the holidays, we plan to put up some birthday, Mother’s Day, graduation and sympathy cards. Below is a sneak peek on what we’ve been working on, stay tuned!
It’s vacation around here so I’ve been able to do a little stamping. I needed a birthday card but I was, like always, late! I think I use the bee-lated birthday stamp the most of all my stamps.
I was a little annoyed by some fuzz that got on my “L” the of the stamp and made a funny mark. Buts it’s hand stamped right??!? Doesn’t need to be perfect. I could put an insert in and re-stamp it. I still might do that!
I also needed to increase my with sympathy card stash since my parents generation has been leaving this earth. Hopefully I will find the time to blog them.
I am purging things and cleaning out drawers and cupboards while on vacation. It’s a much needed project and very satisfying.
Hope this holiday finds you all well and with a little stamping time!
Happy Saturday! Quick post with two birthday cards, both have candles in a square. On the first card, the background was created with alcohol inks. Create a water bath and drop alcohol inks into it, then gently lay the paper on top, quickly remove. I dry mine between paper towels but you could use old towels. They will stain though! And each result is different! It is hard to predict how the colors will look but sometimes I make a few and set aside for later use when it works with what I am working on. The textured paper on both cards is called white felt. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and stamp links are below!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We are looking forward to company coming today and have lots to do! We have also had an unexpected family emergency and will need to take some time. Please note, orders placed this week, will not ship until after Feb. 9th. Thank you for your patience!
Here is another birthday card with four stamps. I used scissors to cut out the square with birthday wishes and the potted aloe plant has a cutting die. The background calendar paper is recycled from an old wall calendar (originally from Target). I kept it to reuse because I love the gray.
All three pieces of paper are sewn together and the white background paper is called white felt. The three squares are stamped on dull gloss paper, cut out with scissors and are glued on. The candles were colored with alcohol ink markers. Having trouble with technology now and trying to get it figured out! 😣
Today we have a birthday card with a turtle and two options for the inside insert. I haven’t glued the insert yet because I haven’t decided which to use. It is fun to have options!
Any turtle/tortoise fans out there? Kevin’s mom has a tortoise that roams the backyard in AZ (picture at the bottom!).
Inside of card: Have a birthday you enjoy the whole day through!
Alternate inside stamps: F312 Happy Happy Happy Birthday, the just a note birthday is an older stamp that we are still trying to figure out what number it is and could be substituted with another but shows that stamps can last for years and continue to be used!
So I know that we have been quiet lately. I ran into a slight snag in my recovery but back on the mend again! Today’s card is still on the sketch that I’ve been using lately. I just added another circle!
Good Afternoon! I hope all are well. I’m getting better – I think! It’s been a tough road but we are moving on. We have a friend who turned 89 a few days ago – yep my card is late. Always running behind but I had some fun making him a card. I sometimes forget how much I like to stamp when I haven’t done it in a while.
I decided not to color the bees because I didn’t want to ruin it and then have to start over 🙄 I did have to split the Happy Beelated Birthday stamp. Here is the link for that stamp: C329 Happy Beelated Birthday and the bee stamp: CC31 KB’s Bees – this is also used on the inside
I’ve been organizing my cupboards while recouping so I best get back to it and clean up the mess!
