Cleaning My Craft Table Off

In an attempt to clean my table off, I thought I would make a card with some left over pieces.



So in that process, I got out some Peel n Stick Ruler Tape, a couple of more dies, buttons, a doily, and some paper from the scrap box.

Here is the inside which caused me to cut up another sheet of paper [more bits for the scrap box]. Another set of stamps, one more die and some stickles.

Well now I really NEED to clean off my table, because I have NO place to work!

Stampers Best

Recently I was showing a friend the stamps that I purchased from Stampers Best, I commented how I seem to be collecting stamps and dies about sewing. So I challenged myself and started with my newest stamps.

I sure was tickled when I realized how nice the scissors from The Sewing Kit Rubber Stamp Set fit into the Ticket Strip die. The flowers on The Thinking of You ticket was made with the flowers from the end of the ruler from the same set, and a stamp from Just Rite - With Sympathy set.

The second card I used the Sewing Room die and a stamp from My Minds Eye. I finally used some of those tiny buttons that I had bought years ago!

The inside of both cards is the same. I stamped Flourish Dress Form twice. Once on the background and then on some scrap that was also embossed with LSG Royal Burgundy. The dress was fussey cut, then I used foam tape in the center and glued down the edges. The When I awoke, is from Angel's Attic.
The cards are 5x7 and Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl paper and Brillance ink were used.
Thanks for looking!

I wish I was a cat!

My parents asked me to make a card to send to a friend of theirs that needed a bit of cheering. So I've been wanting to try doing something with an image from Free Vintage Stamps this was a perfect opportunity.




Using a word processing program, I imported the image and resized it and then just copied and paste 3 more times. I printed it on 'index weight' paper, then cut out less of the imagine each time.

The first layer was mounted on a piece of cereal box that was put through the Xyron and I colored the lettering.

The second layer the stool was colored, the third her ribbon and socks, the last the kitten and puppy.

I used Twinkling H2Os to color. I decide to glue each layer, because foam dots would make it too high.



The inside I put the patterned paper on some cereal box with the Xyron and cut with the some Sizzix dies.

All of the paper was found in my scrap box.
