More Valentines!

I've been making phone calls and getting the ball rolling for a My Golden Valentine program here! (See the post from yesterday if you have questions on the program). Oh what fun! Our neighbor, Carolann, came over yesterday for a couple of hours and helped me with more Valentines for the pile. We had so much fun! This is an updated version of one of them that we did last year. I just used the current set from the mini catalog Take it to Heart and the Framelit dies to cut out the hearts.
I used the letterpress plate, Lots of Love on the newsprint paper, First Edition.  I love the new look it gives to the newsprint. I did have to look in the catalog for the correct sandwich to send these through the Big Shot. You can find that on page 217 in the Idea Book and Catalog. Just make sure your words and the words on the newsprint are both going the right direction.

Inside I stamped the Candy Conversations and added the Pinking Hearts border along the bottom with a heart cut from the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die.

Ingredients: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Candy Conversations, Take It To Heart
Paper: First Edition Specialty Paper, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Accessories: Lots of Love Letterpress Plate, Big Shot, Pinking Hearts Border Punch, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit Die, Framelits Hearts Collection, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals

So our pile is starting to grow! Off to get more started while the kids are napping!
Stamp something fun today for someone else! I know you will be blessed!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Punchy Scarecrow

Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra
