  Accucut will soon be in the house!  I have a few new dies coming in this week.  I wanted to make a payment to the friend I am buying them from and the darn Paypal wants over $10.00 for their “cut”.  I think not.  I’ll get out the check book, dust it off and send her the money that way.

   I love this stamp from My Favorite things, click here.  She is a pure innocence image.  I adore the saying.  I kept the card simple.  It measures 5 1/2″ square.  I used my dies from Spellbinders and dienamics from MFT.

  Several months ago, Phyllis and Candace came to visit me. These ladies are incredible.  We did some crafting and they brought me the beautiful goodies in the video slide show.  Thank you ladies!  I hope we can do this again soon! Please excuse me for being so tardy.

  Have a great Sunday!  Stamp happy, be a blessing.

  I used my Accucut Balloon die for this project.  I cut the balloons out of patterned paper and attached them to a light chipboard base.  I made five tags.  Each took me about 45 minutes to complete.  You spend a bunch of time waiting for glue to dry for this project.

  The banner is also cut from a die, Stampin Up Sizzix banner die.  I cut it also from light chipboard and patterned papers.  It is finished with Wild Orchid Craft flowers, bling, Lindsey’s glimmer mist and items from my personal collection.
 Stamp Happy be a blessing.

 



I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to crafting out side of my home, I take along a basic stamping kit.  One of the must haves in my kit is a great pair of sharp scissors.   To keep them easily identifiable, I love to make scissor charms.

The one above comes from Queen Kat her name is Utopia.

I stamped her onto the slick side of shrink plastic using black Staz-on Ink.  Then I turned the material over and colored on the rough side of the material.

Using caution, I heat set the image until it was completely shrunken down.  I let my heat tool cool down a few minutes then I heat the shrink plastic again until it turned clear. 

I had previously poked a hole in the piece.  Once it was shrank I created a dangle using a piece of broken jewelry.  The entire project took about 5 minutes total to complete.

I hope you will give this a try.  It was a bunch of fun and there will be no doubt as to whom those scissors belong too.

Findings can be found at your local stamp/craft store.  Please email me with any questions.

Have you ever thought it would be nice to communicate with a Senior Citizen who has little or no family left or their family lives far away from them.

Ms. Vivian has been my senior friend for about three years now. The Cancer Angels web site is where you can go and sign up. About mid way down on the right side is a “angel check in” click that to sign up to be a Chemo or Senior angel.

The creative process is enjoyable, you basically have to think postal, sending cards letters, I’ve even sent pictures of my kids for her to enjoy.

Have a great Wednesday!
