Eyelets




The theme at Wednesday Stamper is eyelets. I have not use eyelets in awhile. With my Cropadile they were easy and silent to put into my ATC's. Here are two I added eyelets to. The baby and cupid stamps are finds at a flea market. They are by Magenta. Not bad for a dollar each.

Here are five pages from the May 26, 1900 Harper's Bazar magazine. It was published weekly. I was lucky to pick up over two dozen on my last few trips to the flea market. They are really remarkable and I will be posting more pictures from the magazines over the next few weeks. As always feel free to use any image for your personal use only.

More tags




I'm loving tags this week. Here are two more.

I love tags


I just love tags. So it was no problem making two tags for the challenge of Tags for Create by Hand. The stamps are all from Invoke. I colored the first tag with Distress Inks and the second tag I used Distress Inks and Adirondack markers.

Asian Woman

The theme at Three Crazy Amigos is Asian this week. The stamps are by Curtis Uyeda. The papers are from the Japanese Paper Place in Toronto. The frame is a slide mount inked and stamped. Hopefully my character letters are not upside down. The stamp did not show which way was correct.

Beautiful - New Prima Stamps


I just love the new Prima Clear Stamps Crenee I got last week. They are wonderful for collage. There are six sets. I got three with my Mother's Day money. Here is a card I made mixing the sets. I used Memento Ink and colored the images with my Copic markers.

Paper Casting











So I thought I would try the GPP Street Team Crusade this time. The technique is paper casting. I used Paper Clay which made the process simple. You just take the paper clay and lay it on your mold. Make sure that you press it into the mold to get details. Dry the clay overnight. The mold is a cookie mold from Deemco.

Another peak







Here is another peak at one of my new stamps. It is the stamp in the center of the card. I am still trying to tweak some of the images in my stamp line. It is a long process and I may end up changing a few out that are not translating well into stamps. This is card is for the Crazy Amigos Challenge birthday card.
