October Stamp Camp Projects

First, let me say I am appalled that it has been a month since I last posted! I have a teenager in my life that is just running me ragged!

Anyway, I am hoping to do three projects at Stamp Camp this month. Stamp Camp is Friday, October 15th at 7 pm.

The first card is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. I cased this card from Michelle Zindorf - check our her blog here.

Colors: Blush, Hollyhock, White
Stamps: Thank You
Accessories: Ribbon, Gem

The second card features a set from the new catalog called A Sip. I lost the set after I made this card and have ordered a new one, so I am hoping it makes it to me by Friday!

Colors: Bamboo, Indian Corn Blue, Amethyst, Heavenly Blue
Papers: Magnifique paper pack
Stamps: A Sip, Simple Stitches

Last, but not least, is a cute little snowman card. I saw a similar one in the latest Papercrafts Special, Holiday Cards.

Colors: White, Black, Orange, Chocolate
Stamps: All Decked Out
Accessories: Plaid Ribbon

Patriotic Horses

The more techniques I try from Michelle Zindorf, the more I absolutely adore this woman's talent!

I saw this tutorial on her site some time ago and knew I would have to try it one day. I picked up this horse set by Inkadinkadoo at the Wilton tent sale for $5.00! There are quite a few beautiful horse images in the set.

Colors: Cranberry, Outdoor Denim, Parchment, Bamboo, Desert Sand, Chocolate, Black

Stamps: Simple Stitches, Star Power - CTMH; Horses - Inkadinkadoo

Accessories: Hemp

Fishing Creel Box

I'm making this box that holds a mini "fish tales" album, stringer of paper fish, paper bobbers and "can" of worms tag for my father-in-law for Father's Day. When I finish the other parts, I will post them.

I bought the pattern here.

My husband, daughter and father-in-law are on a fishing trip right now and promised to take a lot of pictures! I will also add a t-shirt that says "My grandchildren have me hook, line and sinker"
with embroidered fishing flies around it.


Colors: Brown Bag, Chocolate
Stamps: Eastertime, Chocolate Alpha Small, Simple Stitches
Accessories: Pewter brads, bobber, foliage, fishing net, twine

A bookmark card

This is a bookmark card. As you can see, the bookmark is attached through the word window punch slot.

Want to learn how to make this card? Come to stamp camp on August 8th and I'll show you how!

Colors: Black, Grey Wool, Desert Sand
Stamps: Happiness (dots), Treasures of the Heart (sentiment), Simple Stitches (stitches), Memory Labels
Accessories: Black Organdy ribbon
Tools: Word Window punch, scallop scissors

Just had to copy this card!

Every once in a while I indulge myself by buying the latest issue of Cards magazine (always with a 50% off coupon since it costs $19.95!). When Michael's had their latest 50% off coupon last week I purchased the May issue.

A card very similar to this one was inside... I fell in love with it immediately and had to copy it using CTMH stamps!

I don't know if you can tell, but the dry embossed background is also heat embossed with clear EP. It's gorgeous in person.

Colors: Black, Vineyard Berry, White Daisy

Stamps: With Love

Accessories: Black eyelets, Vineyard Berry Organdy Ribbon

Tools: Word Window punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder

Dream a little....

I don't why, but I just love the look of this bird in the sunset! Maybe it's the dark shadow in the vibrant background....

Colors: Barn Red, Sunflower, Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta, Desert Sand
Stamps: April Word Puzzle (bird), With Love (branches), Card Commentary (dream), Simple Stitches

Another Peek at the June Stamp Of The Month

Here's another card made with the June SOTM set, With Love.

I didn't have the notebook paper punch, so I created the look with my Bind It All machine and just cut the slits with scissors.

Colors: Sweet Leaf, Hollyhock, Blush, Buttercup

Accessories: Buttercup Bigger Brad and Hollyhock My Accents brad and spiral clip

You Have Me In Stitches

I created this card to show you how easy it is to shape our clear stamps and expand their potential! The stamps will go back to their original shape when you take them off the block!

The curved stitching you see is actually a stamp that's about 5" long. I just curved it on my acrylic block and created a swirl!

Colors: Hollyhock, Sweet Leaf, Breeze, Cocoa

Stamps: Simple Pleasures (circle), Simple Stitches
