There was stamping on Friday evening and on Saturday we started up at 9:00 and went until 4:00. There were several demonstrations on Saturday morning.

I was so excited when my son told me he liked the Beetle & Bug stamp set. I thought it would make a fun party bag for his upcoming birthday. I used the Emerald Envy card stock and taffeta ribbon. I also used a stamp and thinlet from the Party Animal Suite. I love that sentiment, “Open me already”. The… Read More

I stamped the background of the dragonfly in Pear Pizzazz and then stamped the detailed dragonfly in Versamark and then embossed it with the gold emboss powder. I used a 10″ x 12″ piece of designer series paper. I love the… Read More
I thought it would be fun to use the copper emboss powder with the dragonfly cut out of the copper foil sheets. I used the Falling In Love Designer Series paper for a contrast to the Soft Sky card stock. I cut a dragonfly out of vellum and put that behind the intricate die cut dragonfly. I hope you like… Read More
I think the Special Reason set with the lovely mum is perfect for Mother’s Day. I wanted to make a card with warm colors and to try out the watercolor technique of putting ink on your acrylic block and then “stamping” it on your watercolor paper. I did that with a couple of drops of the crushed curry ink refill… Read More
