Cyn’s Shoebox Swap

Here is another card some members of my team and I created at our shoebox swap in January.  Sorry it’s taken me so long to post them all!

Cyn created this one and I just love the combination of the two Valentine’s stamps (sentiment from Well Scripted, heart from Love You Much) and inks.  And it also showcases the designer paper in the Occasions mini right now (Sending Love); this one has lots of great sparkle!

Anne Marie’s Shoebox Card

Last Night’s Stamp a Stack projects

Last night was our Wedding/Anniversary and Valentine’s stamp a stack.  These are the four cards we made featuring the new Sending Love Specialty Designer Series paper, With All My Heart stamp set, I {Heart} Hearts stamp set, and Well Scripted stamp set along with the new new Real Red satin ribbon.  All the aforementioned items can be found in the new Occasions mini catalog!  (See the right of my blog to download the catalog or e-mail me to receive your complimentary catalog.)

Want to make these or other Stamp a Stack projects you see on my blog?  It’s not too late!  Simply gather 4 of your friends and we can repeate a stamp a stack at your home or mine.  E-mail me for more details!

The next stamp a stack is February 2nd during which we’ll be creating 6 St Patrick’s Day cards and 6 Sympathy cards.  Also be on the lookout for a Sale-A-Bration stamp camp coming up soon!

First Card of the New Year!

Wow – it was both great and difficult to put ink to rubber to paper today!  It has been waaaaay too long since I have stamped.  It was awesome to sit and stamp again but very difficult to get a groove going as well.  Let’s hope I’ve worked out some kinks and the next ones come more quickly and easily.

I started with the Mojo sketch from this week (I did stray a little from the sketch but that’s okay) and knew I wanted to play with two new stamps: I {Heart} Hearts and Well Scripted.

Even with a slight loss of clear chunky glitter to my stamp room floor (thanks to my 2 year old) I like the way it turned out and hope you do too (especially my stamp club members who will be making this Wednesday night!). 

The color is a little off (got a new camera for my birthday last month and still have A LOT to learn on it!) but the colors used are Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla.
