Eastern Blooms Thank You

This was made at one of my Marker Club meetings.  Again, shows how versatile SU! DSP is as it uses the Ski Slope DSP for a beautiful, non-wintry, Thank You note!

Ski Slope Scrapbook Page

So, this is one of the two pages I was referring to in my last post about my stamping New Year’s resolution.   These are all pictures of my son this past November enjoying Disney.  (Club members, go to your section to see both pages and the other January layout.)

Heritage Holidays

Originally posted October 23, 2008

Unfortunately I think that most people overlook this fabulous stamp set in the catalog.  I have played with it several times (for one, I am doing a class featuring the Heritage Holidays stamp set coming up on November 10th) and this is my latest creation using the set.  If you’re coming to my Christmas Card stamp a stack on November 6th then you’ll be making 3 of these!  Lucky you!

And Kristina’s challenge this week was pretty vague – Use Red – any color red as the main color of the card.  So I think this works!   Let me know what you think!  Oh and thank you to Becky Roberts, another SU! demo, for inspiring the layout of the card.

3 x 3 Felt Flurry

(Originally posted October 21,2008)

This is a little 3 x 3 note card we made at my Demo Only Stamp Camp last week.    The snowflake is the Baja Breeze one embossed with Iridescent Ice EP and Versamark ink.  (Versus Iridescent Ice EP and Whisper White craft ink on the Real Red snowflake on my Cardinal Christmas Card below.)  Just remember, if you try the embossing on the snowflakes: Don’t Melt the Felt!  Well, it didn’t exactly melt but it was starting to kind of change its shape when I was holding it with the tweezers.   So for successive attempts I simply stuck it in a cardboard box that had sides so if the little snowflake did blow around it wouldn’t go anywhere and the embossing powder still stayed contained!  Anyway, the DSP used is the new Ski Slope DSP in the Holiday Mini.  LOVE IT!!!!    And the half back pearl is from the Pretties kit, both the snowflake and the half back pearl were adhered with Tombow Multipurpose Glue. This would be a great little teacher’s note, co-workers note, gift tag for a gift bag (simply punch a hole in the corner, thread some ribbon through and tie it around the handle of the gift bag), and more.  I’m sure you can come up with some creative uses for not only the fabulous 3 x 3 cards but the Snow Flurries as well! Happy Stamping!
