Stamp Club Projects

Hi Everyone!

I'm so sorry for my sporadic posting lately.  As some of you may know, I was in Japan for 2 1/2 weeks and I've had an extremely hard time adjusting my sleep schedule since I've been home.  I am FINALLY starting to feel human again, so I'll be back to stamping like crazy!  Wooo hoooo!

On Sunday I hosted the first meeting of Stamp Club 2010!  We had such a fabulous time!  There's still one spot left if you want to join. 

At each meeting we will be learning a new stamping technique, and this Sunday it was watercolouring. 

It's simple and fun and looks totally cool. Don't you love how faded Tess' jeans look?  This technique is super easy and you can get awesome results!  I love love love the watercolour crayons









We also made this super cute Valentines card using the Sweet Treats Cups and the beautiful brand new Sending Love Designer Series Paper.  This paper is soooo awesome!  One side has glittered images and the other side is matte.  It's also super flowery and girly, totally my style!


Our final project was this tiny and adorable milk carton.  This is made with the Milk Carton Die for the BIG SHOT.  We used more of the Sending Love Paper as well as the new Mini Tag Punch and Tiny Tags Stamp Set.  I really love how these turned out!  And you know me...I LOVE anything made with the BIG SHOT!

Email me if you want to join us next month!

Lovin' Tote-ally Tess!



Hi Everyone!

I am LOVING the new stamp set Tote-ally Tess!  She comes with a bunch of stamping accessories, but I thought she would look adorable holding a birthday cake!  Isn't she so cute!?

I used the Birthday Bliss stamp set for the cake and sentiment (available as a FREE sale-a-bration item!).  The Designer Series Paper is from the Pink Flamingo assortment.  The beautiful colours are Tempting Turquoise, Cameo Coral, Summer Sun, and Whisper White. 

Have you checked out Sale-a-bration yet?  http://www.allisonokamitsu.stampinup.net/

NEW PUNCH STYLE!

Hi Everyone!

Can you believe it...more exciting product news from Stampin' Up!  A new punch style!  Use your punches as you normally would...


and then lock them closed for storing! 



They can be lined up side by side or stacked one on top of another, either way, they're going to take up so much less room!!!

Cling Mount Stamps!




Hi Everyone!

So I said that there were some really exciting new things from Stampin' Up!  Can you believe now you can buy clear mount stamps!!??!?!  So so so so so cool!  The wood mounted option will still be available, but this new option will allow you to cut down on storage space, as an entire stamp set fits in a DVD case!  Also, positioning your image to be stamped will be MUCH easier with this option as well!  You can see exactly where you're stamping! 

I am having a Sale-a-bration kick off party on Wednesday, January 20th at 7pm so everyone can check out this cool new stamping option up close and personal!  Please RSVP to nicepeoplestamp@hotmail.com  Hope to see you there!

I've got a thing for hearts....



Hi Everyone! 

So I know we're barely into the new year, but Valentines Day will be here before we know it, so I wanted to share a card with you.  Well, that and I was dying to use my new Mini Heart Punch and Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die!!!  These two new items are in the new Occasions Mini Catalogue, which starts tomorrow!!!  You are going to go crazy for all the new stamp sets, punches, dies, paper, and embellishments in this new catalogue!  Thre are two super exciting announcements in this new catalogue, so check back for the details on these in the next few days!

Quick Tip:  Use the Signo Gel Pen to make dashes along the edge of your cardstock to look like stitching.  Much easier than dragging out the sewing machine...
