Come Stamp With Me

Tomorrow is my Come Stamp With Me Tuesday Class and I wanted to show you the cards that I will have out for you to make.

As promised I am putting out one Christmas card each week to help you get prepared for your Christmas card sending come December.  Believe me - you will thank me when the time comes!!  Also making some that have a plain front (no words so you can make it whatever fits your need)  Remember on Come Stamp With Me Tuesday's you have complete access to all my stamps - current and retired so that you can change up anything you want. The 50th anniversary card in the bag can easily be adapted to ANY anniversary number OR make it a birthday card.  This is what is so great about Come Stamp With Me Tuesdays!!
These cards were inspired by: Penny Smiley, Michelle Lynch, Billie Moan and Stefanie Pletscher
You know the details:
Every Tuesday from 10 am to 5 pm you can come and stamp with me and for only $1.50 per card!

And I just can't stop myself - I NEED to share a picture of the grandkids - this is the first time that Tyler (12) and Gracie (8) met Baby Sawyer (2 days old)

Clockworks meets Stipple Blossoms

I love the look of this card but it sure has a lot of fussy cutting to it.  I saw one similar on Carolyn Kings blog but hers was a 5 1/4"x 5 1/4" size and I wanted to make sure mine fit into the A2 envelope as well as the card slot at the Used To Be New Consignment Shop.  I think this one would be perfect for a retirement card but I left the inside blank so it could be used for any occasion. 

Stamp sets: Stipple Blossoms, Clockworks

Remember on yesterdays blog post I gave you a before and after picture of my sister and I? Well now I have a before and after picture of my organized lazy susan.  Dale and I went to IKEA the night before our flight out and picked up these great containers for all my gluten free products.  I was getting tired of all the bags and the messy look.  Then I used My Digital Studio to make labels for each of them.

Red Hot Sketch Challenge #102

I think this was my favorite sketch challenge so far (except for the ones Gracie helped me make)

I LOVE the stamp set CLOCKWORKS because it has some really neat background images with it.
I was making this card: Inspired by Kerry Bunting 

for the Used To Be New Consignment Shop and since I had it out I checked out the next Red Hot Stamper Sketch Challenge to see if CLOCKWORKS would work, YES! and I love it!!

Yikes! what am I going to do with this Sketch Challenge?

Well, since today is Easter I thought I had better make it an Easter themed card.

Now click HERE to see what the other gals did with this Sketch Challenge.
Stamp sets: Ears To You, Clockworks, French Foliage
It is hard to see in this photo but I used Bashful Blue and the splat from FRENCH FOLIAGE as my background, then embossed it with the PERFECT POLKA DOTS Embossing Folder.

I thought I would sneak in a couple photos of cakes I made recently...
This little robot was a big hit and ended up getting a second order for the same cake from another family from church.

 Bridal Shower cake...

 Birthday cake for an 11 year old birthday slumber party...

Baby Ensemble

Yesterday I had the privilege of holding a brand new baby!  Baby Kadex is my "birthday buddy" Kaitlyn's first baby, and I couldn't wait to 'get my hands on him.' Sorry about the dark picture but I forgot to bring my camera so my (not so smart) phone had to be good enough.

This is the ensemble of gifts I put together for him.  My pen pal embroidered the little robots on his onesies to match the cute bag, boxer shorts, bib and burp cloth.  Then I found a somewhat coordinating sippy cup and pacifiers to fit in the pockets.

These are the thank you notes that I made for her using the cogs from the stamp set CLOCKWORKS and a non SU robot stamp my friend owns. The notes I used are the NOTE CARDS AND ENVELOPES #107311 $5.95 FOR A PACKAGE OF 20, which measure 3 1/2" x 5".  The sentiment is from the NEW stamp set CUDDLES AND KISSES in the Spring Catalog #127314 $18.95 Clear mount or #127312 $25.95 Wood mount

RHSSC #72

 

Today is another chance to play along with the Red Hot Stampers Sketch Challenge!  Do you like it??

This is what we had to work with...

I thought it would be fun to pull out one of my new stamp sets and give it a whirl.  I put Crystal Effects over the face of the watch and cut it out after I let it dry over night, then popped it on top of another stamped image.  The back ground is also from CLOCKWORKS stamp set.  I think this will come in very handy for making some masculine cards.
