Lovely Trees

I've had these trees stamped on this paper and sitting around forever, and finally decided to do something with them! I think I was showing someone this technique, and just stuck the piece of paper back in the stamp case. I inked up the trees in Certainly Celery and then used several colors of markers, including blues and purples to tap some ink onto the stamp before pressing it onto the paper.

The trees come from one of my oldest sets, Lovely As a Tree. The background stamp is Canvas.

Pretty Leaves

Autumn Splendor is one of the best sets! I have really enjoyed it. For the most part, I have used it for fall cards. However, as you can see below, you can use it for other things too, just by changing up the colors. The leaves are so beautiful!

This is one of those cards where you could make a bunch, then leave off the greeting and add one when you need it....Happy Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You, etc.

Fall Tree

One last fall tree! I inked this one in Certainly Celery, then colored the trunk of the tree with a Chocolate Chip marker. I tapped Chocolate Chip and Really Rust markers all over the leaves of the tree before pressing the stamp onto the paper.

This stamp comes from the Lovely as a Tree set. The background is called Sanded.

Belated Thanksgiving

I meant to post this last week. Oops! This is one of the cards I made for the craft fair. Simple...no explanation required! The stamp sets are Year Round Fun II and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Cherry Get Well

Here is another card that I made multiples of for the craft fair I did a week or so ago. I love how "happy" it turned out! I worked off of the colors in the patterned paper, which were Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss.

The stamp sets I used were Circle Circus for the background circle designs, Teeny Tiny Wishes for the words, and Cute & Curly for the placard that the words are on.

A Craft Fair

Saturday I did a craft fair and sold some cards. This isn't something I normally do...or ever do. I was sort of talked into it by the sweet little friends I have at the place where it was held. I volunteer there and it was fun to be able to spend some extra time with them.

I made a couple of signs to advertise and figured I'd save them, just in case I ever do this again!

My set-up.

I had plenty of cards, but I made a few over the last week in the categories where I was lacking a little. This is one of them. I made about four of each card while I was making them. It just makes sense to make duplicates, while I've got an idea going! I'll show some more soon.

Teacher Gifts

I was going through pictures last night and found these. Brandon wanted to give gifts to three of his teachers, and I forgot I had taken pictures of them. We just put a Scentsy Room Spray and Hanging Freshener in a cello bag and stamped a card to tie to it. He wrote a sweet message for each one. He had some great teachers this year!

These stamps are from the Thank you Kindly and Charming sets.
During July, Scentsy will be bringing back 20 scents from years past. They were voted on by consultants and customers and the 20 winners will be brought back in "bar form" for one month only!
