A new (to me) technique: paper-piecing…

6 Jan

I was intrigued by this month's AEIHeartUChallenge: Paper Piecing.  It's not something I'd ever tried but it looked interesting.  By far, my favorite Avery Elle stamp sets are Storybook and More Stories and I knew I wanted to use them in some way.  I decided to try and give some of the animals the ...

I decided to make a shaker card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: We're Seeing Stars.  Unfortunately it didn't photograph very well but that's partly the cat's fault as you'll see later...   I used the Simon Says Stamp Stars Parade die and cut it twice, once from black ... View Post

Jessica Lynn Original

28 Oct

I spent some time today making two very different Christmas cards using two different Jessica Lynn Original stamps!  The first card uses her digital poinsettia stamp.  I actually enlarged the image before printing (one of the joys of digital stamps) and then placed a sheet of vellum over the printed ...

27 Oct

I'm still in love with the Avery Elle More Stories stamp set.  The fox is so adorable (and very versatile)!  After taking the Online Card Class for Copic Markers I'm feeling a little more comfortable with my coloring abilities so I colored both foxes with copics and then fussy cut them for each ...
