Fall Start

Hello stampers!

Here is my card for today.  I used the Tweet Leaves stamp from the Holiday Mini and dressed it up with some buttons (used a Brushed Bronze Designer Button and a button from the Brights Collection).  Hope you are inspired to create your own piece of fall.

Supplies used:
Stamp Sets:  Tweet Leaves, Lovely Little Labels

Paper:  Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and Whisper White card stock

Ink: 2012-2014 Incolor Markers

Miscellaneous: Brushed Bronze Buttons, Brights Collection Buttons, Little Labels Punch Pack, Tombow Multipurpose liquid glue, Glue Dots

Enjoy!

Quilling Anyone?

Hello!
Today I want to share with you a couple of cards I made using the quilling technique.  It is very popular right now and  I am happy it is - it  is easy to do and it provides a huge visual impact!  I enjoy making the quilled bits to assemble into anything my heart desires!

This time round I had a specific person in mind and I used her favourite color combination of pink and brown.  To me this color combination gives a vintage feel to these projects.  I hope you are inspired to give it a go with you own favourite color combo.  Enjoy....

This is the standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" size

This is a 3" x 3" card.

Both cards used same supplies listed below.

Supplies used:

Stamp Sets:  En Francais Background, Lovely Little Labels

Paper:  Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette, Real Read and Whisper White card stock

Ink:  Early Expresson, Real Read

Miscellaneous:  Fancy Fan textured impressions embossing folder, Large Basic Pearls, Pearl Basic Jewels, Little Labels Punch Pack, Tombow Multipurpose liquid glue.

Tip:  I used 3/8" strips of cardstock cut at 8 1/2" lengths.  For the red petals, I used 4 1/4" lengths.

Welcome!!

Good evening happy fellow stampers!

I am getting back into the blogging mode - so while I am on a learning curve, please bear with me.

Getting my blog back up and running was all due to my attendance at my very first Stamp'in Up Convention held last month in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. 

I met so many wonderful, like-minded people (both guys and gals)...and to all of you new stamping buddies/friends I met, and who get to read this blog entry, a huge hug from me to you!!! 

Thank you all for your inspiration, sharing, creative loving hearts, and sheer inspiration (and yes, the beautiful energy during those hectic days and nights - no wonder some of my fellow stampers who stayed home forgot to mention a small, oh so wee detail, to keep in mind during convention attendance -you are up around 5:30 a.m. and to bed around 1:30 a.m.ish or so! Oh, and no need to worry about missing exercise class - all the foot miles of walking/rushing to/from/between events gives even the most fit individual a run for his/her money! - wait till next year gang!)  I LOVED IT ALL!!!!

So, I now present to you the card I made 81+ times for my Late Nite Stampers swap (which was so fun to do!)
