Retail Therapy

Hello every one in Blog Ville!

Isn’t this a cute mini card? I was inspired today by a small card I viewed on stamping school. (www.stampingschool.com) that measured 3 1/2 X 10″, this card is a 3 1/2″ square. I used the shopping ladies from “My favorite Things” stamps to create the card front with the sentiment ‘retail therapy’. For this image I choose Staz on ink and used my water color pencils and a blending pen to color. I also added a little glits with glitter.

I love shopping. I just made a huge Stampin Up order as well, so I’ll be set in stamps for a long time. I can hardly wait to get them all ‘inky’!

This is a quick and easy project. A while back I was able to pick up small sewing kits on the clearance at Joann’s. They come in tiny plastic boxes and I simply used super sticky red tape to attach them inside. I stamped the image and embellished it with crystal effects. For added glitz, a few well placed eyelets and ribbon complete the kit. It is actually held together using a velcrow type closure.

I hope every one had a nice Christmas! Our’s was wonderful, it was just nice to spend the day as a family and enjoy the celebration of the true gift of Christmas, The birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus.

Stamp Happy!
