Ben from Instigator wants to know what I’ve learned this year. Well, I learned a lot of things:
* The stamp I need will be in the pile of unorganized stamps waiting to return to the proper containers.
* My permanent ink pads always will fall face down if I’m near an Oriental carpet.
* I can never […]
The little guy and I spent hours yesterday playing with ordinary school glue, rubberstamps, cardstock and a few inkpads. First, we inked a rubberstamp with school glue and stamped it on the cardstock. Then, we waited for the image to dry. (And started on a new glue stamped background.) Once the glue was dry, we […]
Penny Wise Arts has detailed instructions for making this clutch card by Kathi Hall. I think it is the perfect way to make a gift card just a bit more personal.
By the way, if you don’t already have microbeads to make the card, Penny Wise Arts specializes in microbeads and seems to have quite […]
I have no idea why I didn’t realize this before reading the charm tutorial that I mentioned in a post a few days before, but you can make full sized images on shrink plastic by heating the plastic and then stamping into it before it cools. To demonstrate the difference, I stamped a piece of […]
This is really an easy technique. Simply get a package of Avery’s printable static cling sheets from your local office supply store. Then, stamp images on one of the sheets. I used images without words or didn’t ink the words in when I inked the images.
To make the window clings, I tried my trusty Memories […]
Collage Stuff has some lovely new charms. I love to use charms to dress up my rubberstamped cards and projects and the recepients love seeing something three dimensional on their handmade card or gift. I want them all, but I really overspent on crafting because of all the Black Friday sales, so I can’t buy […]
I go stamp crazy around the holidays. Plain paper napkins. Oooh, wouldn’t they look pretty with an embossed snowflake? They do, they do. Oooh, what about that paper tablecloth? You know what else would look nice? Handstamped window clings! (more on that Tuesday. I’ve decided that Cyndi’s idea for Technique Tuesdays on Layers Upon Layers […]
I was looking for the perfect fiber to finish off a stamping project. This one was too red. This one didn’t have any red. The brown was kind of…well, brown.
Then, from the corner of my eye, what did I spy? The perfect reddish brown. But it was a scrap of heavy upholstery fabric. Wait. Was […]
I was going to make the traditional garland from interlocked rings of paper with the kids when I started looking at my rubber stamps. My PSX Gingerbread Man stamp was perfect for a garland. We stamped a bunch of the little guys on cardstock and cut them out. Then, we punched holes in their gingery […]
I’ve been really busy working on some new stamping projects over the last few days and will be uploading them shortly. In the meantime, I thought I’d tell you about our new addition. My nephew named her “Casey” because he wants her to be a boy. She’s about a year old and very sweet. I […]
