Layout Class

I showed you the card class I am offering in January. Well, in February I will be offering a layout class with this WINTER theme. I got this idea from a consultant on the bulletin board, but I forget her name. Of course, I used different stamp sets (Bundled Up and Glistening Snow), color scheme (ocean, vineyard berry, desert sand) and paper packet (Just Chillin').

Here is page one of the two page spread. I used white daisy pigment ink for the title. When I use pigment ink, I need to be more patient than with dye-based. It doesn't dry that quickly, so sometimes I use my heat gun to speed up the process.

The big snowflake is a Christmas ornament I got from Target during the Christmas season. It is not archival, so it will be an optional item for those who attend the class.


Here is page two of the layout. I used white daisy pigment ink for the snowflakes/stars to match the pattern paper from the first page. In addition, I used it on the sentiment, which reads "All bundled up for a warm holiday season." I added a little bling on this page, because I am into bling at the moment.


Oh, I wanted to correct myself on yesterday's post. The stamp set I used was Delight in Everything not Let's Get Together. Let's Get Together is the paper pack that goes with that stamp set. Sorry!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping!

My favorite stamp set is "O Come Let Us Adore Him" and my favorite paper is "Life Delights" Thanks for the great blog cand. what a great way to start off the new year.

Please email me at stampfest@cox.net to let me know your snail mail and name.

I have the stamp sets everyone listed, except for Lovely As a Tree and that is on my wish list for 2008. Thanks for all of your comments.

Here is the technique class I will be holding next Thursday, January 10, 2008. We will make both the 6 x 6 layout that explains how to complete the technique and the card, so we will actually use the technique we learned.




I promise I will post on a regular basis once my boys go back to school on Monday, January 7th. My sister keeps bugging me about it. I haven't taken time to scrap, since the boys have been on vacation. I need my routine back!

Happy Stamping!

Snow is glistening

It is hot and humid in Omaha and I hope this card cools you off if it is hot where you are too. Here is another card I made to show a technique using liquid applique at the crop on July 7th. You really need to click this picture to enlarge it, so you can see the detail under the word snow. I used liquid applique under the word to make it look like the word snow was sitting on top of snow...LOL! I think it turned out pretty good.

I used Glistening Snow stamp set. I created the background on the Barn Red cardstock with this stamp set also. In addition, I used White Daisy cardstock, Ocean cardstock, Just Chillin paper pack - level 2, White Daisy grosgrain ribbon, Vineyard Berry organdy ribbon, White Daisy pigment ink (new), liquid applique, Barn Red ink, Ocean ink and White Daisy bigger brads. I used my Corner Adorner corner rounder to make the scallops on the white daisy cardstock and Just Chillin pattern paper. I attached the winter wonderland stamped image with pop dots to make it stand out on the card and daubed the edge of the square white daisy cardstock with Ocean ink.

Chill out!
