Cottage Lane Stamper

If you read my previous post I mentioned that I prepared for 3 classes in two days.  My Tuesday evening class back to back with my Stamp-a-Stack, which is usually the next week. We made 3 cards, four of each.  And boy oh boy you could tell I was a little off my game. These are the cards we made.     It all started with this card.  When I cut the black piece on the bottome I cut it the right depth, 2" but only 4" instead of 5-1/2".  So, no problem, we switch the card to portrait instead of landscape and everything was hunky dory.  We used the Winter Wonder embossing folder on the Whisper White top layer.  The black layer is Merry Music DSP.  The sentiment is from  October Paper Pumpkin, "Pining for Plaid" stamp set and punch with the "Everyday Label" punch.  The Basic Black back layer is 3" x 2" and both ends are punch with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. The ribbon joining both layers is the 1/8" Silver ...

Well it's been a while since I've talked to you.  I had a couple craft fairs, and also am dealing with some health problems, so it's been hard to do much of anything.  One of my friends ended up bringing my craft items to the fair where we were to share a booth together.  The next weekend I had another and through the grace of God, He gave me the strength to participate in this one myself, with some help from a couple angels.  One to help me unload and set up and another came just as we were closing and help me pack up.  Since I'm going to Mayo next week I ended up doing all my classes in one week.  My regular evening stamp class back to back with my Stamp-A-Stack class and then my regular morning stamp class the next morning.  These are the cards that we made in our regular stamp classes.       When I first saw the Half Full stamp set I already had "You've Got Style" and knew that I had to pair these two together....

Gosh I can't believe it's been a month since I've last posted!  I've been busy preparing for 3 craft fairs this fall.  I fell in love with this bundle since I saw it in the 2017 Holiday catalog.  I love sets where I can create a scene.  I CASE'd this card from Jackie Aitkin.  It's going to be one of the cards that we will be doing in class next week.  I used three different Thinlit sets to make this card and the sentiment is from the retired Wonderland stamp set from last year.  It's one of my favs to I am holding on to it.    Normally I don't preview the class cards, but I couldn't wait to make and share this card. Here's a video:  The card base is Whisper White (8-1/2" x 5-1/2").  On top of that is some DSP from Bundle of Love series (4-1/4" x 5-1/2").  Then to mute the Very Vanilla, there is a layer of Vellum card stock on top of that (4-1/4" x 5-1/2").  Using white against and ivory color will ...

Hi everyone, I know it's been a long time since I've posted.  Had a lot going on in my life lately with some health issues and dealing with them has been challenging. But getting the new Holiday Catalog has so many great new products and has thankfully been a wonderful distraction. One of which is this awesome Christmas Quilt Bundle! I've been getting ready for my Catalog Launch Party this Saturday, Sept 9.  My great friend, Michelle, came over last Saturday, we both needed some stamp therapy and she made a couple Christmas card with this bundle.  So I decided to do a non holiday card! I have a cousin who makes beautiful quilts and runners.  So this will probably be her birthday card. I did have one little tip for you.  When you use the star Framelit, that does the stitching, make sure that you run this one through the Big Shot first. (I called this the Ninja Star since that what it reminds me of).  To create the star you will need a 4"...
