This is one of the cards you may choose when you host your own Christmas Card Stamp Camp. These are absolutely the BEST hostess opportunities, for many reasons. More free goodies, emphasis on stamping cards and fun rather than purchasing product, flexible scheduling, and more! Did I mention that you earn more hostess rewards with one of these events? You do! A LOT MORE! You get to choose the projects and you get to keep the stamps and tools used to make them! You and your friends will get to create 25 cards at this type of event.

Check out my Host your own Stamp Camp page to see some of the current available projects and to read all about these types of camps. Then contact me to host your own, locally or long distance!

Thanks for looking!

Wonderfall

Wonderfall

It finally feels and looks like fall around here! I am loving the weather right now and it put me in the mood to share this neutral take on a fall card. I added the best wishes sentiment as it seemed perfect for a fall wedding card. The next picture shows the sparkle and shine a little better. All of the leaves have been embossed with Iridescent Ice EP. I cut all of the leaves with the Autumn Accents die from the Holiday catalog, and then stamped the Very Vanilla pieces using the Wonderfall set. I cut other leaves from the First Edition DSP and then created veins by folding and then dragging the creased fold across a stamp pad to add the color. Then I did some sponging with tea stain and the other inks. I wanted a lighter fiber to put behind the pearl, so I bleached some of our linen thread. A little work, but I love the way it turned out!

Perfectly Preserved Button Jar

Perfectly Preserved

After playing with the Orchard Print paper and the Perfectly Preserved set for a while, I decided to take the cute little jar a different direction. There are so many possibilities with this set! I wanted  a birthday theme, so  I decided to go vintage with a sweet little jar of buttons and lace. I wrapped the jar topper in lace and added a ruffle and a flower accent. Then I topped it off with a valance and more lace and ribbon. I couldn’t find a sentiment that was the right size for the look I wanted, so I hand cut a smaller sentiment and layered it.  As you can see, I was playing with all of my favorite things on this one!

Thanks for Looking

Beautiful Birthday Pennant card

Beautiful Birthday

This is another version of a card that I shared a few weeks ago. Clean and simple. The Happy Birthday stamp is called Beautiful Birthday. I really like these single sentiments and the smaller sets that just have two or three sayings in them. It’s a really inexpensive way to build up your greeting options. This card called for a larger sentiment as a focal point and this stamp was perfect.

Thanks for looking!

Greeting Card Kids

Greeting Card Kids

It’s almost the end of September. The kids have been back at school for a few weeks now. I made this card in honor of fall which officially began last weekend. Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that she’s late to the game.

I used my sweet little Greeting Card Kids and the Storytime DSP for this card. They play together very nicely! I have to admit that after ignoring the 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon for years and years, I am in love with our stitched replacement. I love the look and it is a little more supple, so it’s easy to tie. The apple button is from a big stash of buttons that were my mom’s. I just love incorporating some of her things into my cards, it’s like sending an extra special hug along with the card.

Thanks for looking!

Ornament Keepsakes

Ornament Keepsakes

This is another card we made for stamp camp. I love these elegant ornaments and the matching Holiday Ornaments Framelits dies. In case you hadn’t already noticed, when you purchase a stamp set with a matching set of framelits dies you get 15% off the individual prices! Just look for the bundled price and item number when you place your order. I also used another new product from the Holiday catalog. The background piece is made with the Cherry Cobbler Core’dinations card stock. It has a light center, so when you sand it you get this lovely distressed effect. It also has a smooth or textured side, for even more versatility.

Have a great day!

Scentsational Season

Scentsational Season

This is a  sweet little Christmas Card that we made for stamp camp, using the Scentsational Season stamp set . When I say sweet, I mean it. The card has been scented using our Peppermint Sticks scented embossing powder. Yum!  Most of the pieces have been embossed to add a little glitter and Christmas cheer to the card. Are you getting visions of sugarplums yet?

Happy Stampin
