The Love of Stamping!

Featured Artist on Pals Paper Arts blog site

I am in love.....with making this fabric purse with the Big Shot machine.  I use to do a lot of quilting and with Pals Paper Arts having a challenge of Anything but a Card, I had to do something special, plus I am the Featured Artist this week too.  I had made a purse simliar to this one 25 years ago and figured I would see what I could do with cutting out the scalloped squares with the Big Shot.  What am I doing next, I plan on making a quilt next with the squares.  Super super easy for this one.  Bigger purse photo is the rag side out and the small photo is the purse turned inside out.  A two way purse.

Manhattan Flower Birthday card

Happy Patty day!!!!

This card really did not photograph well...a simple card.  Base cardstock Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery embossed with the Manhatton Flower folder with the Big Shot machine.  Then I wanted the flower to show up better so I used a Sponge Dauber to add Shimmer Paint Champagne Mist to the flower.  Also used Barely Banana cardstock with the stamp set Vintage Labels (a SAB item).  Stampin Pads Lavender Lace and Certainly Celery and the Wide Oval punch.  Finished it off with Stampin Dimensionals to raise the oval up a bit.

Happy Birthday is in the air....challenge card

Why is Happy Birthdays in the air...my Mom's birthday is tomorrow and I have a special card for her that I will share with all of you tomorrow.  So I decided for today I would do this other birthday card,that I might use for a young man next month.  It is also part of a sketch challenge for Card Patterns Sketch #55.  It was a fun easy design to do.  Cardstock used Really Rust, Mellow Moss, Whisper White, Bordering Blue, Bashful Blue, and Designer Series paper Bashful Blue.  Used stampin pads Really Rust with Itty Bitty Backgrounds (one of the current stamps that you can get free with SAB), and Bashful Blue with Happy Moments (SAB) and Clear block B.  Taffeta Ribbon is Bashful Blue.  One of my favorite ribbons are the taffet's as they are just the right size for tieing bows.

All supplies used are Stampin Up.
