Set Sampler: A Good Egg

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I made most of these for Leadership 2008 when I was asked to be a display artist. You can click on one of the thumbnails for an upclose detail shot of it and scroll through them. Dig photo #2… my ‘New York high hair’ years…

UPDATE: The original post and template for the egg basket is HERE. You can also use my Archive page to find these as past posts.


Getting ‘out of the box’ — my stamp room is under major construction! The walls are coming down for full access to 1000 square feet of finished basement… I’m so excited!

So, as an apology, I am going to recycle last year’s ideas for you… but I have wonderful new projects and templates to share soon. Why not now you ask? Well, just to keep it fun, not only is my basement under construction, but I have a huge Stamp Festival on Saturday to prepare for during construction.

Ah, never a dull moment!

Another Elegant Easter Card…

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Okay, I promise that this is my very last post with "A Good Egg"… I just love that set!

The egg was embossed on our brushed gold cardstock and also embossed with the swirl stamp in Baroque Motifs.  I have gotten more questions on this card on my Gallery than any other… the background blue paper is from the LeJardin papers.  It has those wonderful swirls in it and I added a gold embossed swirl of my own as well as I might have gotten carried away with the zig gold painty pen and shadowed a few swirls of my own freehand.

The bling (which you really NEED, don’t you?) is our rhinestone brads (the amber colored ones) and of course some tiny rhinestones that I had around (gotta love bling!).

The second photo REALLY shows the shine best… the flat scan doesn’t do it justice.

Oh, and the kraft colored taffetta ribbon is my absolute favorite color!  I cannot tell you how lovely it looks–kraft sounds ugly, but it is really a taupe color.

Okay, how’d I do?

Easter “Egg” Basket

A Good Egg - Easter Basket

I am hoping to be forgiven for lack of posting by posting a very cool project with downloadable template (click on thumbnail left to download the directions and template).

This was one of the Stamp Festival projects last week… a 3D egg basket ‘gold on gold’.  Stampin’ Up!’s awesome "Brushed Gold" paper embossed with the flourish from ‘Baroque Motifs’ (egg from "A Good Egg" set). See more samples of "A Good Egg" on my website.

My ‘Stamp a Stack of Stuff’ Class is online for purchase, click here to view it.  It includes another take on the 3D egg basket… a bright pink basket with ‘crayon resist’ rainbow eggs…

You crack me up…

A Good Egg, Stampin' Up! Set from the 2008 Spring/Summer Collection

This set "A Good Egg" will be the set included in my Rubber Stamp Festival on Saturday, Feb. 23rd!  I love the saying "you crack me up", it really does crack me up!  I used the ‘Fall Flowers’ designer series paper and a few punches and very very little coloring.

You can see the set in the new catalog on page 30 (or click here for the line art).
