i'm participating in splitcoast stampers (SCS) divine secret sister card swap again -- it is always so much fun.
this is a card i'm getting ready to drop in the mail to my little sister. hopefully she doesn't see it here and guess who i am;) i think i'm safe -- i won't post it over there! hehehe --- it'll be our little secret! :)
i love a black and white card from time to time, and this is a fun one!
here is the recipe -
the background stamp set is from autumn leaves, and it is called flourishes v.2. the flower and 'hello' are from SU's posy punch, and i used the punch to cut it out.
the rest is just black and white cardstock, and some black ribbon -- and a few little black embellishments.
hope she likes it! :)
thanks for stopping by -- and happy stamping!

anniversary wishes --
hi everyone -- thanks for stopping by!
this card i made for my in-laws anniversary - i like this set from stampin' up - so sweet and simple.
here is how it went together ---
to start with, the card i bought in a package in acmoore's - pre-cut! fun!
i wanted the design to stand out, so i dabbed some SU chocolate chip ink around the edges.
the ribbon is some i had on hand -
the stamp sets are all SU --
thanks for stopping by! happy stamping!

i've been featured!!!!
things have been a little quiet in the craft room lately -- i injured my back last week, and have been slowly healing. but i'm on the road to recovery and should be back up and running again soon --
something exciting i want to share with you --- i received an email last week telling me i had been featured on a blog! how cool is that --here is the blog:
stop by and check it out! she has lots of cool things featured, and if you are an etsy seller, you can add a link to your shop for some free advertising.
so -- here is the item she featured from my shop - tumbled tile coasters.
have you ever stamped on tiles? it takes a little practice, but it's alot of fun. you want to use stazon ink - or if you need to use a marker, something like a sharpie. it needs to be something permanent so as not to bleed when you use them -- yes, use them! :)
some people seal the coaster with an acrylic spray -- i don't like to do that. i like them to be absorbent. the image will stay for a long time - don't worry.
they are not dishwasher safe, but can be wiped with a damp cloth.
this set of 2 uses the SU set - because i care, and a stamp i picked up in michaels for the background. i used timber brown, royal purple, and olive green stazon ink.
i also but some felt on the back of the tile so it doesn't scratch any surfaces.
thanks for stopping by! happy stamping!
be sure to stop by the blog i listed above - lots of cool stuff to check out!
