Oh… and just to liven things up a bit more, we’ll be taking the party over to Paper Craft Planet for the...

A Little Holiday Thank You

Posted by Cathy on Dec 10, 2008 in Misc. Stamp Companies | 11 comments

Just thought I’d share a very simple Holiday Thank you Card. The Stamp is from the Penny Black Christmas Critters clear set- so many cute images!. The saying is from the Impression Obsession Sentiment I clear set. I find this set so handy because I can create whatever sentiments I want. The images are stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and I colored the kitty with Copic Markers. I used E-50, E053 and E-55 for the cat’s fur. I added a little R-02 for the nose and cheeks. The...

Thanksgiving Table Favor

Posted by Cathy on Nov 15, 2008 in Misc. Stamp Companies, Tutorials | 9 comments

I made this table favor using the clear cone favor box. The box has two clear flowers at the top where it latches – perfect for a little embellishing. The Acorn and Sweet Gum stamp set includes both the image and the text. It is a toast that says ” Here’s to the blessings of the year. Here’s to the friends we hold so dear. To peace on earth both far and near.” Nice huh? Its a great, detailed fall image. I only used part of it here. What I used for...

Can someone please pass the self discipline?

I’ll give it back when I’m done using it – promise…. I have a *million* things to do – print instructions and templates, finish packing kits, write blog posts, plan a prep for a class and local sale next week – finish costumes (yikes!), carve pumpkins – not to mention this box of merchandise I need to load into the store. So what did I do while the kids were in school today? Made cards…. Sigh…………. But I just...

Most Definitely Fall

Posted by Cathy on Oct 10, 2008 in Misc. Stamp Companies | 8 comments

The leaves are changing all over the place here. We live near Swarthmore Collage and it has a beautiful arboretum on campus. The trees are just starting to turn now, but in a week or so parts of it will be just breathtaking. So here is a fall card I made – I was just playing around with my Copic markers. The wreath stamp is from the Large Autumn Wreath cling set from Serendipity Stamps. It is large – but so fun to color! I used my Nestibility dies to cut the...

The First Day of Autumn

Posted by Cathy on Sep 23, 2008 in Copic Marker tips, Misc. Stamp Companies | 4 comments

That’s what my calendar says anyway. I really love Fall. I always thought New Years should be in fall. Its my favorite time to take stock of where I am and set new goals. And I have a bunch of them (LOL!). One of them is to slow down and appreciate what I have more. An important goal I think – unfortunately, it seems to conflict with my 49 other goals (hey – a girl can dream can’t she?). About the card… I usually stick to pretty standard card sizes, but...
