Stamp-a-Faire - Knots Badge

 

Ok, I'm plugging right along... I loved watching all the ribbon tutorials - but I think the one that caught my eye was the simple leaf technique that Melissa showed. 

I used the Notched flower and Tag Sale die, and stamps from Background Basics: Newsprint and Iconic Images.

Thanks a BUNCH!

Hello :-)

Is anyone else out there like me? I can't wait to get my hands on a particular stamp set, all sorts of ideas flowing through my head... then the set arrives - and in the drawer it sits - eagerly awaiting ink time :-)

That's exactly what happened here -  but I finally dusted off the stamps and put them to good use! :-)

I just love the inks from A*Muse - I think they are the perfect shades for grapes! (I used Currant and Grass)

Hope you have a great week!

Busy weekend ahead...

Well, I have a very busy weekend ahead...work tomorrow and then Sunday we are getting together at my mom's for our monthly cardmaking party for Operation Write Home :-)

Before the hustle and bustle of the weekend gets started, I wanted to share 2 cards I made this evening.

The first one I made using Flower Fusion 6 (again!).  I started by stamping the solid image in Versa Mark on the Kraft base.  Then I stamped the outline in Malted Milk on the white cardstock pieces. Finally, I stamped the outline in Vintage Cream on Ocean Tides that I had die cut.  Not sure if you can tell, but I also stamped the leaves in Versa Mark using Background Basics: Sheet Music. The last step was to stamp the sentiment using Peeled Paint.

The second card was made using my all-time favorite set from PTI - Peaceful Garden.  I knew it would be my favorite the minute I saw the sneak peeks!  For this card, I stamped the Kraft base, again using Versa Mark - but with the design from Postmarks.  Then I stamped Vintage Cream cardstock with Malted Milk, using Background Basics: Newsprint before cutting it out with a Spellbinders label. On top of that, I stamped the Bamboo image from Peaceful Garden and the little bee from Postmarks using Frayed Burlap.  I then added the sentiment with Fountain Pen, and as a final touch, added the three little dew drops.

Have a great weekend everybody!
