Birthday Card

I made this birthday card for my birthday card exchange on scrapbook.com. This one is being mailed this week. First I stamped a Martha Stewart stamp on white cardstock. I  colored it with pastel pencils that I kept from my college days. I knew they would eventually come in handy.  I used decorative scissors to cut around the bird.  Then I took green cardstock and ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I ran it through twice.  The first time made a nice sharp embossed image but I wanted to see what a double-pressing would do. Both the Big Shot and Cuttlebug folder were purchased today at Michael's with a 50% off coupon and a gift card from my parents. I love this card. The embossing makes a huge difference in the looks.

Items Used: Pre-cut blank card in Ivory. Forest Green cardstock. White Cardstock. Martha Stewart Clear Bird Stamp. Staz-On Jet Black Ink. Pastel Pencils. Fixative. Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl Embossing Folder. Sizzix Big Kick Embossing Machine.

Christmas Was Good To Me

My family was very generous to me this year.  They realize how therapeautic my crafts are and how important it is in dealing with depression.  They went all out.

I got a Cricut Expression.  I actually opened that at the end of October so I could use it to make cards.  And I got a printer and scanner combo.  I've already put it to good use and made 2 scrapbook pages yesterday afternoon.  Plus they gave me a couple gift cards to Michael's.

I am all set and so thankful that they did this for me.

Cardmaking here I come!

Sample Stamped Coaster

This is one sample of my coasters. It is a 4x4 unglazed tile that has been heat-set. 

Stamped Coasters

I took several orders for stamped coasters today.  After Church I headed to Lowe's to get the supplies.  Now I'm thinking of possibly selling these on Shop Handmade and Etsy.  I will need to research.

Busy with No Time to Scrap

I've been very busy lately.  I'm babysitting during the day to help a family out that we know and haven't had time to scrap much.

I'm also working on some stamped tiles to sell to the ladies in my Bible study.  My gift was a hit and now I'm making up a few samples and taking orders tomorrow.
