I did this background for some eye popping children’s birthday cards in Paint. Fun and easy, even if you are completely graphic challenged! If you don’t want to use up all of that color ink, just draw the circles and […]

Great Source for Altered Art Supplies

I often use my rubber stamps to make altered art pieces. One of the best places to find inexpensive things to alter is my local Target store’s dollar spot. When I went in yesterday, they were doing a 75% off sale. I got oversized wooden domino sets, thin wood puzzles, board books, tiny checkerboard with […]

Using Your Paint Program to Make Simple Backgrounds

Have you ever fooled around with your computer’s paint program and then decided there was no way you’d ever make any decent graphic art? If so, you may have missed the handy shape tools.

Palette Metallics Inkpad

I got a box full of goodies from Frantic Stamper the other day and am testing them out as fast as I can. First up was the scrumptious Palette Metallics inkpad. I got Pure Gold. It makes a wonderful shimmery gold background when it is rubbed onto cardstock. The design of the inkpad is really […]

An Early New Year’s Resolution…

In 2007, I’m going to be super organized. All of my stamps will go right back in their bins and all of my ink pads will have the proper home. Paper bits, prestamped images and sheets of exotic papers will all have a place. (Sis, stop laughing! I’m serious this time.)
Well, the day after […]

Wishing You All Happy Holidays

I’ve been working on a stack of last minute gifts and personalized gift tags, which means I’ve been shamefully neglecting my poor computer. One of my favorite ideas is to make a very special gift tag for a child’s present. I use pretty cardstock, vintage images or Christmas rubber stamps, ink pads in holiday colors, […]

Quick Christmas Rubberstamped Magnet Craft

Here’s a quick Christmas gift idea that uses up a few of those flat marbles I had left over from flower arranging. I stamped an image onto cardstock, placed a flat marble over it and traced around the marble. I cut out the image just inside the traced marble outline. I glued the image […]
