Stacy's New Floral Minis

I just love Stacy Stamps' new floral minis! Just so cute and versatile. Here are the 4 cards that you can make plus a card holder in Thursday's class. They would make a great gift. Hope you can join us!

Watercoloring with Twinkling H2O's

I just love this watercolor technique I learned when Dave, from Memory Box was at the store in July. It's so easy, yet it gives you impressive results. Here's a quick demo to show you how to do it.....



And I'm happy to say that the really, nice and thick watercolor paper (140 lb) is in stock as well as the Twinkling H2O's.

Thanks so much for stopping by and
Happy Stamping,
Anna

Another Fabulous Card by Ginny Behrens!

As promised, here is the other card that Ginny made for me! Isn't it just spectacular!

Ginny used Stacy's Pumpkin patch stamp and Impression Obsession's large, cover-a-card background stamp, leaves. The pumpkins were colored with Copics.

These are the Spellbinders scalloped border dies that Ginny also used.

If you would like to reproduce this card, all of the supplies are presently in stock.

Don't forget, Stacy Rich will be at the store tomorrow! Here's your chance to meet the woman behind the wonderful flower and triangle stamps!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Gorgeous Christmas Card by Ginny Behrens!

While I was away, I asked Ginny to make a sample using the new European cutting and embossing die. And boy did she out do herself!!!!! Isn't it just gorgeous!!!! She used a Hero Arts set of "Christmas Balls", and our favorite Impression Obsesion background stamp. Ginny also used the "distressed lines" Cuttlebug embossing folder and the wreath die cutting and embossing set.
Here is a picture of the wreath die cutting/embossing set. As you can see, you also get the holly leaves and berries. This is now in stock as well as lots of new sets from Europe. They are very unique and everyone just loves them.

Check back, as I'll post a beautiful Thanksgiving Day card, also by Ginny. There she used the Spellbinders scalloped border die.

Thanks for stopping by,

I'm Back from Vacation!

Hi Everyone,
I'm back from a great vacation visiting my Dad in Ohio! Maria was also able to meet me there and so we had a nice family reunion which included my brother's family.

Here are a few pictures ...........
This is with my Dad....doesn't he look great! He's 84 and still living on his own!

And here I'm with Maria and my niece, Stephanie, nephew, Alex and my sister-in-law, Kristy. I always feel so short next to them!

I'm back now, refreshed, rested and ready for the busy fall season!!! I was able to recharge my batteries and thought of lots of new ideas for cards and classes; so keep a look out on the store's calendar for upcoming classes. I'll keep you posted.

Speak to you soon,
Anna

Cute Little Girls!

Aren't these girls just darling? The stamps are Hero Arts and Soni made these great cards using Copic markers.
At the next Copic marker class, we will use this stamp and learn how to color the hair (blonde and brunette) and skin tone. One class is scheduled for Thurs, Sept 16 and a repeat will be Sat, Sept 25. Please call the store for details and registration.

Thanks and have a great day stamping,
Anna
