Cards with a face lift!

I worked on swaps all day and after I did all the designing of the cards they seemed to get a few face lifts along the way.

You may remember this card the other day:

Butterfly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I gave it a little face lift tonight:

Simple Friendship

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not much difference, however the butterfly now has Iridescent Ice all over it.  Very pretty.  I’ve had a few people ask me about making the banners on the cards so I thought I would show you in a few pics how to make them.  Hopefully this will give you more of a visual and help you when making your own.  They are soooooo addicting. 

Here ya go:

Okay, and now one last card for tonight.  I really do not want to see the stamp set Season of Friendship go.  It’s currently in the Holiday Mini and I adore this set.  I love it because you can use it for sooooooo many holidays.  Here is my take on Valentines with it!

Hearts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thankfully the Love You Much stamp set coordinates VERY WELL with the Heart punch.  It made this card much easier. 

Here you can see how dimensional this card really is. 

Hearts Close

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a Super Fabulous Sunday!

New Stamps in the Mail! Yippie!

Published by Kimberly under Stamps in the Mail, Tutorials

It’s time for another round of Stamps in the Mail and a new stamp set to play with! If you have never participated in this program, I highly recommend giving it a try.  You won’t be disappointed!
 

 

A Rose is a Rose

 *****************************************
 

The club will last for 3 months (Sept-Nov).  Each month you will receive stamps and/or accessories in the mail plus all the materials to make 4 different cards or projects. 

 

Each round of monthly projects are going to

involve "Templates."  Templates are a layout design

that you can use over and over in your stamping-

just change the colors and stamps!

 

The first month you will receive the stamp set that

will be used over the  3 month period.  Just think, at

the end you will have made 12 different projects with

your one stamp set plus you will have added great

products to your stamp collection!  Products used

(and sent to you) will be things you will be able to use

in all your stamping-not just needed for these

projects.  If you already own the product you can

substitute.

 

Cost of the club is just $40 per month.  You will

receive at least $30 worth of products each month for a total of $90 in products.  The other $30 is to cover the "class," supplies, shipping, etc. Directions and detailed

pictures will be sent to you via email.

 

**Ask me about my SPECIALS for exlcusive club members!

 

The first round of  Stamps in the Mail will begin

shipping the third week of September. All products and materials should be received by the 20th of each month.   

 

 

 
Are you ready to start?  RSVP by emailing me today! 

You have until September 5th to sign up! 

 

Refer a friend and receive a $19.95 stamp set from me! Email me today if you need more information!  Please don’t hesitate to ask! Get

ready to have a GREAT stamping time right in the

comfort of your own home. Stamps in the Mail can be paid by Cash, Check, Visa, MC, Discover, or Pay Pal!

 

Happy Stamping!

Tile questions

Published by Kimberly under 3-D, Tutorials

Good morning friends,
I have had a bunch of questions on the tiles and I thought I would answer some of them. I wish I had time in my day to make the beautiful tutorials that others do, but it just can’t happen. However, I can tell you how to make them. :)

First, you need to purchase the tiles at your local Hardware store. I use Tumbler tiles. These are approx. 6×6 in size. Love this size. They cannot be a slick surface. These tiles once finished will be used more for decorative purposes and not a coaster. Pick your stamp set and then use CRAFT ink to stamp. Once you have stamped, use Glassy Glaze over the tile. Tap off excess. Pop in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 min and BAM they are done. Let them cool and then add some fun accessories to them for added fun. These are TERRIFIC for gifts and beautiful in your home. If you have any questions, just email me directly. :) I hope this helps!
Have a FABULOUS day!!!
