Autumn Days Fall Stamp Festival
Posted: Monday, September 21st, 2009 | Comments
Tuesday is the last day to register for my team Rubber Stamp Festival on October 3rd. We will be holding it at the Newark Baptist Church in Elkton, MD. The cost of the festival includes the new stamp set ‘Autumn Days’.
This unique card holder will be one of the projects we will be making–and it conveniently fits all the 3D cards we will be making!
I am so excited about it and hope you can join us!

Celebration of Sizzix Box #2
Posted: Friday, August 7th, 2009 | Comments
I am having a wonderful time in Salt Lake City and awards night last night was awesome! Amanda C. and I walked across the stage as cruise achievers, woo hoo!
Well I am seeing some awesome ideas and will be sharing the pictures with you soon. But here’s a photo of a few of us walking across stage.

So, this Sizzix XL Die ‘Box #2′ has to be the absolutely *easiest* stinkin’ box to make!
This quick box is just Taken With Teal cardstock (6 x 11 inches) and a strip of the Designer Series paper ‘Holiday Lounge’ (#115676). In fact it is one 1 1/2 inch strip of trees that I added some *bling* to. The 5/8 inch white satin ribbon (#114616) is extremely elegant as a finishing touch that is secured onto the box top, so it opens without having to untie it. SECRET: there is a strip of ribbon across the top secured underneath and the box is actually glued to the strip of satin (it uses less ribbon).
I have also made a purse with this box. Below is the box decorated with (retired) Raspberry Tart designer series paper and a false foldover made from the Sizzix Bigz Die Scallop Circle #2.
Instead of tucking in, I have it velcro coin closure and embellished it Stampin’ Up’s new designer hardware… a silver ‘Jumbo Grommet’ (p. 179 in 2009-10 IBC).
