March Madness Stamp-A-Stack

If you missed Stamp-Camp-March-Madness, you can view our projects below. I hope you can join the fun next time. The next stamp camp will be in April - to be announced. I hope these designs can inspire you to make your next creation - send me a picture of what you create! Happy stamping!
Clean and Simple had a layout sketch which inspired this:



This last design was inspired by a beautiful card I found online - but cannot remember from where. My apologies for not giving proper credit, yet...

Totally Terrific Tiny Tags! PPA34-A Sketch Challenge


Doesn't the tiny tag make the card? Attach it to a square and you have a cute shopper! Anyway, love my new toy. Inspired by the PPA sketch. Let me know what you think...

Stamp-A-Stack Warm-Up

Warming up for the next stamp camp of simple and quick cards. These are a few designs that did not make the cut...




To see the best use of the new border and corner punches, check out this video from Stampin Up:

Definitely Decorative Canisters

After remodeling the kitchen, I wanted to add some clean-looking (to match the rest of the house, of course... ha!) canisters for the counter. I found simple white canisters at Pier 1 - but often felt that they were too clean. So, I had ordered these Definitely Decorative canister designs from SU! and dirtied my counters a bit...

There are a few steps, so I thought I would outline them here, so you could see how simple it would be to decorate anything from walls to glass to just about any smooth surface. Too fun to apply! My DS is the hand model (and, incidentally, the voice of Rex in the voki above) while I took the photos:

1. Trim the design, if needed. Begin peeling away the sticky background from the protective sheet.


2. Peel away the protective sheet, making sure that the vinyl design remains on the sticky sheet. The image will appear in reverse (i.e. mirror image).


3. "Stick" the full sheet design to a smooth surface.


4. Use a flat tool (SU! sells one) to press the image and seal it, completely, to the smooth surface.


5. Very slowly, peel away the sticky sheet from the surface, leaving the design on the smooth surface.



6. Voila!

C'mon Spring - PPA31




Nothing like a good snow storm (dreaming of Spring) to spend time in my stamping studio - well, more like an area for a garage sale attraction, but soon...

Head on over to Paper Pal Arts, if you are looking for some Springtime inspiration! What a nice discovery. Here's a challenge that they offered, and wow, did I suddenly miss my Kiwi Kiss cardstock! Thankfully I had discovered a stash that was lovingly tucked away.
