Fun stamping projects and blog candy draws to a close!

Hi Gang!

***

I hope you are all doing well! I’ve been stamping up a storm this last week.

***
I joined a movers and shakers swap that isn’t due until November, but of course since I had the need to stamp, I finished them all up. They all have spinners on the back and bugs on the front. Except for some minor stamp re-arranging they are basically exactly the same except for the colors I choose to use.

***

Blog candy will be drawn on September 10. My second blog anniversary. The winner will receive a surprise in their box in addition to the blog candy I’ve previously mentioned. I’m celebrating 25+ thousand hits on the blog!

Today I’ll tidy up the house and get some birthday cards for the birthday random act of kindness stamped today. I’ve created one card and need to do about seven more.

****

Have a great day and enjoy this last weekend of summer!

Stamp Happy!

Pop corn sleeve! Blog candy until September 10!

Hi stamping friends!

I made this pop corn sleeve for a challenge with the local girls. This weeks theme is food. It could be a card, but I opted to use a food item. This is a bag of cinnamon pop corn.

***

I used a shiny yellow paper as my sleeve, stamped the image using memento ink and colored with copic markers. I then used the 3 dimensional liquid applique and glitter. It was then heat set so the pop corn looks real!

***

My friend Kathi will be receiving these goodies and some others for winning the last challenge which was a grid challenge card. I’ll post the other goodies once I am finished with them.

Good news! Craig’s package finally made it to him. Of course, mom’s replacement package went postal with delivery confirmation today. He loved the clipboard and the post it holder. He thought they were interesting and very nice. His favorite things where the small bottle of hand sanitizer and the antibiotic spray. Of course he appreciated all of the candy and food goodies I put in the package. He actually had to ask a clerk to please go look for his package and found out that it arrived on August 22. It has been sitting there all this time.

Blog candy will be drawn on my second blog anniversary on September 10, 2009. In the pot, an altered pie piece filled with candy, clipboard tags, Hampton Arts stamp set “Who loves you” and $25.00 cash. I will try and shoot a video this week so stay tuned!

Have a great day! Stamp Happy!

Two pretty and cute cards!

Hello my friends!

Today has been a very quiet but nice day here! The weather is starting to cool off just a bit and it is a great day for stamping!

***

My sweet husband let me sleep in this morning. I have been putting off cleaning the upstairs bathroom all week, he cleaned it for me this morning and let me sleep. I slept until almost 11:00 am, I felt so refreshed when I woke up. I haven’t slept well all week and it was so nice to get a good night’s rest!

****

Both of todays cards are simple. I used simple layering and embossing ribbon and the sentiment. One is a birthday random act of kindness card and the other is for my little sister this round of Divine secret sisters on splitcoast stampers.

Blog candy until September 10,2009. A reminder in the pot is $25 in cash, rub on alphabet, and chipboard tags. I am also including a pie box filled with candies and (*new) 20 clear stamps from Hampton Arts called “Who Loves You”, a cute owl themed set with many possibilities for great cards and scrapbook pages!

Blog mascot gets a make over!

Hello my crafting friends!

***

As you can see my blog mascot has turned into a fairy princess! I found this adorable fairy outfit at my local craft store on sale and bought it for Elizabeth. I made her magic wand from a a long skinny dowel. The star is cut from holographic paper from Crayola. You may not be able to see in the picture, but I also embossed the star.

***

Her head band was pretty plain so I used a butterfly clip a friend gave me to embellish it. The ribbon on the wand is from my stash and is embellished with jewels, also from the craft store. The entire project only took me about 10 minutes to complete.

***

I was very encouraged by Amanda’s Halloween goodies that I made a few of my own. She had a bit more detail than do mine, but it was my first try at making these adorable book place keepers. I am looking forward to some more fun projects.

***

The bug one I made from left over materials from making the spinner never ending cards. I have completed three of the cards and have three more to complete. I am participating in a swap on splitcoast and am so glad they aren’t due to my hostess until late November!

***

I hope every one had a great day. My Meade girlfriends are participating in a Shoe box swap in Baltimore, Maryland today. Unfortunately, I had previous plans that exempted me from all the fun! I am looking forward to seeing all the great cards and projects they where able to complete!

***

I hope you enjoyed today’s projects! Remember blog candy continues until September 10, which is my second blog anniversary. In the pot are $25.00, an altered pie box filled with goodies, rub on alphabet letters and chip board tags. Leave comments any where on the blog for your chance to win!

Stamp happy my friends!

Hi Crafty people!

I really enjoy making never ending cards!

I am enjoying a card swap on Splitcoast stampers called movers and shakers, I am planning to do five more of this type of card. I also plan to do them all a bit different from the one before.

I added many elements to this project to include more dimension, fun embellishments and moving pieces!

Read this part carefully! There is as of today a change in blog candy. Don’t worry as of right now there is $25.00 and an altered item in the candy pot, I am changing the date for the drawing to September 10. Why you ask? That is my second blog anniversary and I’m celebrating by giving you goodies!

Today’s addition to blog candy is a surprise, you’ll have some metal goodies for you to enjoy!

Have a great night! Stamp Happy my friends!
