BuStEd!!!

I have been called out by a great friend for letting my blog get so far behind....OUCH! She was RIGHT! So...you aren't getting my usual picture quality and I haven't had time to edit the pics or watermark them...but here they are!!! I really HAVE been stamping...just not updating my poor blog regularly...LOL! Below is a card I designed for my club last month. The tulip is made with the Owl Punch, and some ovals. Isn't it great?

 And here's a really simple one I threw together for a swap! Super quick!

 Here's another swappie! I used the Inlaid Embossing technique for the striped background. The lantern is made by running a circle through the crimper...you know the tool collecting dust that you haven't thought about it eons! Pull it out! These lanterns are so much fun!

So...(ahem...KELLI) I have been stamping;) I am REALLY behind on my online life, but for once my real life is just about in order. LOL! I will be back regularly....promise (the pinky kind).

Till next time....Happy Stampin'

Another Crimped Envelope

After teaching this technique in my club for Feb, my monthly challenge was for everyone to create one on their own, and bring it in March to show everyone what they came up with. This was mine. The stamp set is Embrace Life, and I watercolored, covered with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds the flowers, then cut them out. One is stuck on with Glue Dots, the upper one with Dimensionals. The corners are Sizzlets called Architectural Elements, and are a set of 4 photo corners which I love, I ran those through the Big Shot. Colors are Rose Red, Bravo Burgundy, and Old Olive. I left the inside piece sentiment free since I don't know what I want to use this for yet!
