Stamping the Cape

Leprechauns and Bunnies and Chocolate, Oh my!

Once again I'm getting ready for a charity vendor/bingo event this week and I'm making a few little goodies to try and catch the eye of the shoppers. Hopefully there will be lots of them with cabin fever after our third nor'easter!

Thank you to Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs for coming up with the idea of using the Santa from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and coordinating Cookie Builder Punch to make a leprechaun! It was in her Facebook Friday video from a couple of weeks ago. I made the hats a little differently by using a 3/4" wide piece of Old Olive cardstock and curved the top with a circle punch.The matchbooks hold some gold foiled chocolate coins. Do you like that little slot for the flap? That's from the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies. I also used the leprechaun to make some cards. The "pot 'o gold" is a Basic Black 1-3/4" Circle Punch with the top and bottom trimmed and I used our retired Word Window punch to make it look like there was a rim. I punched about a dozen 1/2" Gold Foil circles to create coins and the "glimmer" above the pot is a stamp from the FREE Sale-A-Bration Amazing You stamp set that was heat embossed in gold. Thank goodness for the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and the St. Patrick's Day sentiment!
I also pulled out our retired Basket Bunch Bundle from last year's Occasions catalog. It's so dang cute I couldn't resist and who can resist Ghirardelli Chocolates? I couldn't ignore the dark chocolate, carmel, and sea salt candies!

I've also used up some retired DSP and seam binding. These little packages are a great way to do that. That egg on the right is Gold Foil stamped with Archival Black Ink. I did heat set it but found I still needed to let it sit for a few hours to really make sure it was dry.

If you're in the Falmouth area and looking for some fun, stop by the Holiday Inn on Jones Road. Download the event flyer HERE.

March 2018 Stamp Club

This month's stamp club is focused on Easter/Spring but you'd never know it by the snow that fell during the early hours this morning. It wasn't as bad as some areas of Massachusetts but that's fine with me after losing power over the weekend!

I am featuring the Hello Easter stamp set as well as the FREE Sale-A-Bration Lots of Lavender stamp set and Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions^TM Embossing Folder. Sale-A-Bration ends this month so if you'd like to take advantage of the FREE offerings, you might not want to wait. Not everyone sends Easter cards so I'm letting my stampers choose an Easter or spring sentiment but I'll also have a happy birthday sentiment available if they so choose.

Place a minimum $35 order by March 22 using HOSTESS CODE 9G7QMG7F and I will send you the supplies, including the embossed and punched pieces, and instructions to make all three projects. You will need the Hello Easter and Lots of Lavender stamp sets to complete them so you may want to boost your order to $50 so you may select the Lots of Lavender stamp set FREE! (Alternate sentiments: Thinking of You - from Window Shopping and Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets.)

This is a card I CASEd (Copied And Shared Everything) from Stampin Fee in Germany. For some reason it reminded me of a book I had as a child except the egg was golden.

This card is inspired by the one in the Occasions Catalog on page 38. I decided to change up the color scheme to Daffodil Delight and Peekaboo Peach.

My stampers will get a chance to try the Stamparatus on this multi-step card. The Stamparatus is our new alignment tool that will become available to everyone with the premiere of the new Annual Catalog in June. Demonstrators and customers had an opportunity to reserve one early. I think my stampers will be surprised at how fast and easy they'll be able to stamp and line up all four colors all on one device. Watch for a video.
