Eyes in the Woods


Hi there!  Hope you had a great weekend.  Mine was busy and fun!  Friday afternoon was spent with my granddaughter since she only had a half day of school.  We had lunch, then did some crafting.  She helped with a project that can't be revealed just yet.  She was a great help!  Saturday was spent with my stamping peeps, Jayne Singleton, Kim Coulter, and Sally Nusbaum.  Jayne, Kim, and I were assisting in a "covert" operation for Sally's Croptober at the Lake of the Ozarks next month.  Can't wait!  Sunday a great group of gals attended my Card Buffet.  Thank you so much, ladies! 

How about we get to the project above?  It is another 3x3 note card - for September customer orders.  The new Woodland embossing folder by Stampin' Up! was used.  Black ink was applied to the flat side of the embossing folder (the side with the Sizzix logo) before running it through the Big Shot.  I love this technique, which varies the look each time.  The spooky eyes were added using a retired set (sorry!) called Freaky Friends.  Easy peasy..... and fun!

Remember - new Weekly Deals today!  This is your chance to get the Envelope Punch Board and/or the Gift Box Punch Board at a reduced amount.  Both are on sale this week (Sep 29 - Oct 5)!  Check them out by clicking HERE or the picture in the right side bar.

That's all for today.  Hope you have a great day and thank you for stopping by for a look!

Thank You...... I'm Back!

 
Hi there!  Gosh, it has been a long time since my last post - didn't realize it had been THAT long!  Life has certainly been busy, but I have finally gotten back into stamping AND holding Card Buffets in my home.  The stamp studio has been moved to a larger room in the house, which was part of the reason for my absence.  It's still a work in progress - but aren't our rooms always evolving? Ha!

Today's feature is a 3x3 thank you note card that was tucked into each customer's order bag during the month of August.  (I am so blessed to have such loyal customers/friends.  Thank you all so much! )  The plaid background was made using the image from Stampin' Up!'s Work of Art set. You can't really see because of the layering, but it was also used on the "rind" of the watermelon. The sentiment is from a new set in the 2015-16 Annual Catalog and definitely one of my favorites!  It is called Tin of Cards.  There is a coordinating project kit, which comes packaged in an adorable tin to make 16 cards.  The tin (and kit contents - excluding the stamp set) is sold as a separate item.  See items HERE in my online store.  Please let me know if you would like to place an order for this or any other products, if you don't already have a Demonstrator.

Must sign off for now.   Hope you have a great day and thank you for stopping by today!
