French Foliage

This card was inspired by Linda Heller.  We made this card this month at my stamp clubs.  You can't see it in the photo but the green has a sparkle to it.  I mixed rubbing alcohol and a few drops of "champaign mist" in one of our Stampin' Spritzers.  Once we rubbed the ink on with the sponge we spritzed it with the alcohol mixture.  Beautiful!

We sell the Stampin' Spritzers in a package of 2.  They are located on pg. 179 in the Stampin' Up! catalog. Order #126185 at a cost of $2.95.

Postage Due Frame

I wanted to share with you the frame that I made at convention last month.  A fellow demonstrator, Virginia Killmore, from Syracuse, New York showed us how to make it.  It's 12" x 12" and we used the "Postage Due" stamp set to make it.  It's in black and vanilla.

I decided to offer a class this month for anyone that might be interested in making it.  We will make decorate the 12" x 12" in addition to making 2 cards with the same stamp set.   I'll give you several options for the class.

Rosette Pumpkin

Pumpkin anyone??

Last month I participated in a craft fair and one of the vendors made 3 of these and was selling them.  I HAD TO BUY ONE.  I ask her if she could tell me how she made it.  She gave me enough information that I could figure it out.  I've made 2 of them so far.

You make 10 layers of rosettes with varied sizes to make the pumpkin.

Anyone near the Lancaster area interested in coming to a class??

The class will take approx. 3 to 3-1/2 hours from start to finish.  It's really fun to make. 


Please contact me if you're interested ([email protected])

Happy Thanksgiving
to all of my stamping friends!
