Year of the Snake

Hi!!  Back with a picture to share my version of a Chinese li see...not too traditional, but fun!!

Stamps used:  MC-27 (Year of the Snake), Bamboo (CL-8 Friends) and B137 (Berry Swirl).

New Cling Stamps!!!

Hey there...time for some new stamps!!!  I know it's not even Halloween yet, but here are a few stamps for those of you already looking ahead to 2013...the Year of the Snake!!

The next 2 stamps can be used year-round...but I made the frame the right size to fit those 1-/2" x 1-3/4" mini calendars.  You can scroll down to see a sample.

Here's  MC-38 (Sakura Frame) used as a favor with a vellum window.

I'll try to be back soon with a "Year of the Snake" sample...thanks for taking a peek today!!!

Happy Trick or Treating!!!

Whenever I'm stuck for an idea, I end up going through some old projects...drag them out, dust them off and try them again.  Is that cheating?  Oh well...here's one from awhile ago...maybe it'll give you a creative spark!!

It's a candy bar card...pull the ribbons apart to reveal a surprise!!!

One more thing...I know I'm so behind, but for those of you haven't seen the entries and results from Ben Franklin's Stamp Aloha Card Making Contest, click here to see all the wonderful entries and winners!!! (you may have to scroll down to see all the entries).  It's sure to INSPIRE you!!!

Gift Bag? Card?

A little of both!!  Looks like a gift bag from the outside:

Open it up and there's space for a greeting and a note on the inside (along with some treats!!):

I used a 3" x 4" cello bag to fill with treats...then just staple under the top and bottom tabs.  Use velcro to close and add a handle!!!

Stamps used:  C125 (Elliot the Pirate), B129 (Vampire Baxter), 705 (Trick or Treat) and A127 (I Vant)

oops...almost forgot the pattern...click here.  Have a great night!!!

Hawaiian Christmas

A little bit of Hawaiian Christmas spirit to send during the holidays...

I wove some 3/8" strips of tan card stock to look like a lauhala background:

And a gift tag:

I popped up the flowers and the smaller tag for a more dimensional effect...here's a close-up:

All stamps for these two projects are from MC-36 (Hawaiian Christmas).  Thanks for stopping by today!!!
