School Time and an End of Summer Sale!

Yes, back to school is right around the corner and LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF is celebrating by hosting an END OF SUMMER SALE!!! Everything in her shop will be 30% off through Saturday!!! My Son will begin his Junior year of high school next Wednesday, so I thought I would make quick a card for him and put a little note of encouragement inside. I started with the SCHOOL PAPERS and the STEAMPUNK sets and just layered the typewriter and watch over the ledger paper in my Print Shop program. I colored the watch with a Bic Mark It pen and added some paper glaze to the watch face. I found these cool paper clips at Staples last year and thought they would be the perfect embellishments for this card. The sentiment was computer generated and printed right along with the paper. I adhered it to a black 5x5 card base and that was it! And remember, these sets along with everything else at LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF are 30% off through Saturday! Hop on over to Lindsay's Blog where she has a couple of NEW SETS to show you, some fabulous new projects, and of course, her freebie of the week!!!

My card qualifies for the BUNNY ZOE vintage challenge!

NOT So Creepy Crow

Happy Thursday, Everyone! Today I made a Halloween card using the CREEPY CROW set from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF - but it is pretty, not creepy!! I started with a black (Bazzill) card base and a double sided piece of patterned paper (bobunny) and a scrap of green card stock (Bazzill). I just cut, border punched (EK Success), and layered the papers with the crow from Lindsay's set, which I printed in a matching color. I added some ribbon, buttons, and Prima Flowers to finish the front. I printed the sentiment and layered it onto another piece of the patterned paper to finish the inside. I thought it would be fun to try some non-traditional colors in my Halloween card. Let me know what you think! If you like this set, or any other LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF sets, go to Mygrafico today - she's having a 40% off sale till Midnight!

Back to School

I can't believe there are only19 more days until school starts! The summer sure has flown by quickly. So, with school on my mind this morning, I decided to make this back to school card. It is a 6x6 black card base which I layered with a page from an old math book. Then I added layers of red card stock to a panel of embossed paper and a cute stamp from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF. I colored it with bic mark its and copics. I added some ribbon, brads and a round paper clip, corner sticker and done! You can instantly download this image from the School Rules set at Mygrafico. Also be sure to check out the rest of Lindsay's Design Team and see what they have created for you this week! Enjoy the rest of your summer and Happy Digi Stamping!!!!!

A Pocket Full of Posies!

Hello, it's Thursday again and that means another project using stamps from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. This week I made this collage piece with the Jean Pocket stamp from the Patriotic set. I started by coloring the pocket and adding brads in the corners and adhered it to a leftover piece of bo bunny paper (that I just love). Then I began adding different Prima flowers and leaves with assorted buttons and brads for the centers. I stamped random butterflies around the page and added a bit of stickles to them for some bling. I printed the sentiment on my computer and inked it with spiced marmalade distress ink. Lastly, I added a musical note brad, inked the edges of the paper and done! You can buy this stamp set and lots more fabulous sets at Lindsay's Mygrafico shop. Hop on over to Lindsay's blog and grab her freebie of the week and then see what the DT has to inspire you with as well. Have a great Thursday!!!

A Military Thank You

We have been having the most beautiful summer here in Maine. I have been outside every possible minute of every sun-shiny day, and today was no exception. As my son and I were out on the patio having lunch, reading, and just lounging about, we could see (and hear) the military jets blasting through the skies for a good part of our afternoon. I love to watch them as they fly in formation and zoom back to the airport, then start all over again. To see them reminds me of the great sacrifice that so many make on behalf of our whole country and it makes me feel so thankful and safe. So, as I was trying to decide what kind of card to make this week and feeling rather patriotic and thankful, I decided to make a card for one of our soldiers. I used the card kit from the PATRIOTIC COLLECTION from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF. I cut two squares and one rectangle from the papers in the card kit. I also cut a rectangle from a paper that I embossed with the Thank You folder from Cuttlebug, then distressed it with some red ink. I adhered all these to a blue card base and added a rubber stamped sentiment that I colored, along with some ribbon and a few extra pieces from the card kit which I layered on with pop dots. I put a sentiment from the kit on the inside and DONE! I think I will send this one to my cousin who is serving in our military in Germany. Check out what the rest of Lindsay's Design Team is doing this week - I know it will be fabulous! You can start by going to Lindsay's blog from HERE and see what she has this week! See you soon and Happy Digi Stamping!!!

Don't Look Now, but I Made a Card!!!!

Yay!!! It is so good to be back. Although I've been having a wonderful summer with my family- We have been very busy traveling, reading, walking, driving (my ds has his permit), and picnic-ing, I have missed my studio and crafting very much. It was nice to be back last night and make this card using a sketch from Meslissa's blog, Tuesday Morning Sketches. She is having a big celebration this week in honor of her 1st anniversary/birthday! She challenged card making readers to use a sketch from her archives, so I chose to use TMS #13 for my card this week, but she added a twist: use something that reminds you of summer! I was in need of a thank you card, so I made this ladybug card using stamps from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF. The ladybug is from the DOODLEFLOWERS set, and the sentiment is from the ALL AROUND PHRASES set. (The small stamped flower is studio g.) It was easy to put together using Melissa's sketch. I added Rock Candy Stickles to the daisy centers and bee wings on the pp and then to the ladybug spots and the stamped flower center. Done!
