Hi Linda! Only the sides are stamped. It's easier if you hold the sheets together with a rubber band when you stamp the sides. And don't push too hard. Thanks for reading my blog. I'll be updating after the holidays. Merry Christmas!

I'm still here....

Thanks for not giving up on me while I took a break from blogging the last week or so. I'm still super busy getting ready for Steve's big family party this weekend, so blogging will be sporadic for another week. Then things should settle down a little. In the meantime, I thought I'd try to post a few photos without doing the whole tutorial thing. I'll just list the supplies I used. I had the most wonderful surprise this weekend. My awesome niece, Mary, and her husband, Steve, came to visit us. Mary and I spent Saturday afternoon making Christmas... Continue reading

Hi there! It's never too late for a nice comment! LOL The treat cups can be purchased from the Holiday Mini-Catalog. You can find them buy clicking on the "Shop 24/7" button at the top of the page and then go to Holiday Mini Catalog. The treat cups are on Pg.7. Try this link: http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=116802. There is a picture of the inside of the card about half-way down the tutorial. Let me know if you have trouble ordering---I'm happy to help you out. Good luck and thanks again for the nice comment! Mickey

Christmas Calendar Card

I didn't invent the easel card, but I sure wish I had. It looks so complicated, but it's super easy to make. I guess the original concept was from Deborah March, but I found a great video tutorial at My Stampin' Dreams . I haven't seen anyone turn it into a calendar yet, so I guess that part is sort of my own. Oh, and if you're wondering why it took me so long to post this article, it's because I made 40 of these puppies to send for Christmas cards this year. And no, I don't have too much...

November Thank You Cards

This month's thank you card is also my entry for the new Pals Paper Arts Christmas Cheer Challenge PPA16. I also tried a new technique for embossing the flap on the envelope, which I first saw on a Mary Fish's Curried Fresh-Cut Notes post. Here are the supplies I used: Stamp set: Holiday Best, Hostess Level 1, Pg.13 #115364 Paper: Real Red Cardstock (CS), Pg. 156 #102482; Bride Specialty Paper, Pg. 158 #115669; Whisper White CS, Pg. 155 #100730 Ink: Real Red, Pg. 156 #103133 Accessories: Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Pg. 183 #109034; Mat Pack, Pg. 191 #105826; Needle;...

Americana Christmas Card

Good morning! I haven't posted anything for a few days because I've been busy making all of my swap cards for Dawn's Glitter Queen Swap. The swap is only for Dawn's downlines, but I'll try to share some of them with you with their permission, along with a tutorial for my own swap card. There are 19 downlines participating and I can't wait to get all of those cards in the mail! Can you tell this is the very first card swap I've ever done? There's something about this card that has that sort of old world-y Americana look to... Continue reading
