Harvest stamp camp

Here's more from my last stamp camp. This first one we got to use the new letterpress plates, which is pretty cool. I used craft ink for this one, but I've heard the classic ink works just as well if not better. I love punches, so of course I just had to get the bat punch.

This design I found on Splitcoast, but I added the ribbon and used the decorative label punch and pearl. I used the Rock'n Roll method for stamping the leaves.

And lastly, here's a little favor bag or luminaire we made using the Fancy Favor die. Punched out a circle using the 1"3/4" circle punch, and added a piece of vellum cardstock that had been run through the Big Shot using the Web embossing folder. Added a bat that was covered with Chuncky Black glitter and tied Raven lace trim around it.

hallo-scream!

Last weekend I had a, Harvest Stamp Camp, making Halloween and Thanksgiving Day cards. I've been so swamped with work lately that I haven't been real creative coming up with ideas. So, I got some great ideas looking through Split Coast Stampers. I didn't keep track of who I took ideas from, but still want to shout out a big Thank you!!

I'll share a couple with you today and post more later. Enjoy!

Love these ghosts!! All you need is the Owl Punch, how cool is that? :o)

Love, Love, Love the Spider Web embossing folder!! My photo isn't real good, but I spritzed the web with Silver Foil Smooch Spritz. This was my first time using the spritz. I like how it looks, but it's a little messy and tends to clog, so you just have to have patience when using it. :o)

Holiday Stamp-A-Stack

These are the cards I did for this years Holiday stamp-a-stack. I had a great turn out of stampers a couple weeks ago and have another small group getting their cards down this weekend. This year I went with an ornament theme and used the Delightful Decorations and Ornament punch from the SU! Holiday mini catalog. They had the option of pre-ordering both items ahead of time so they could use their own stamp set and punch at the event and continue making more at home. Happy Holidays!

Birthday Stamp Camp

I haven't been able to post much lately, so I thought I'd share these four cards I demonstrated at my last stamp camp. I've been wanting to stock up on birthday cards so we did 6 different designs.

The first one here we used the Big Shot and Butterfly Die, I never get tired using either one. :o) I wrapped strands from the baja breeze grosgrain ribbon around the butterfly then tied in a knot.

The card below I cased from someone in our SBStampers group, not sure who did it but I just loved the color combo and simplicity.

Several of the ladys love their martinis, so they got a kick out of making this one.

Sorry to make this so brief, I'll have more to post later. Have a great week....can you believe it's already June? Geesh!

Birthday Party Project

Hello there! A few weeks ago I was invited to put a little stamp camp together for an 11 year old girls birthday party. These are the projects we came up with. A little box using the Big Shot and #2 Box die and a couple little 3x3 cards. There was about 11 girls and we managed to have them all complete their projects in under an hour so they can continue on with other birthday festivities. They all had alot of fun!



The Hello There card below is a sketch used at the SU! Regionals just the week prior. Simple and cute.
