Welcome to the March 17, 2007 edition of the Stamping Mad carnival. This is a very small carnival, but well worth reading, since it discusses the Crop-A-Dile, a new tool I’ve been wanting to try:
Barbra Sundquist presents Wild for the Crop-A-Dile posted at BeyondPaper.net, saying, “This is a review of the Crop-A-Dile tool used in […]

The Angel Company has such cute stamps in the spring supplement. Oopsie daisies is the most adorable set of daisy stamps. By the way, if you weren’t sure if altered art is becoming mainstream, the blank candy tins and chipboard books in the spring supplement should remove all doubt!

If the kids want to make some spring cards, one fun idea is to have them use flower petals and grass blades as paint to color in their stamped images. Just pull a few petals from a flower blossom and rub them over the paper and they will leave a light coat of color behind. […]

Personalizing your own votive candle holders with rubber stamps is so easy. The votives make gorgeous wedding favors or hostess gifts. I found detailed directions for these beautiful votive wedding favors at Wedding Bee. They are just lovely, aren’t they?

You wouldn’t believe what I found today, practically right up the street. I almost bought this neat old building a few years ago to renovate for a house, but I decided it was more than I could handle. It was a church with a loft and annexes and it needed a ton of work. Seeing […]

Did you see the beautiful image transfers made with gel medium that were posted on Layers Upon Layers this morning? I love to experiment with image transfer techniques to make backgrounds with a lot of depth.
