This book was so much fun to make...all stamps are http://www.innovativestampcreations.com and all inks are Ranger...All die cuts are from Debbie's Diecuts at http://www.picturetrail.com/debbiesdiecuts I stamped each coaster with black ink and a background stamp or used a single image stamp to randomly stamp the background...I used Cuttlebug embossing folders on the die cut frames to create texture...

Another door hanger project


I like this door hanger...I was able to use my cuttlebug embossing folder, by turning the door hanger upside down to do the bottom half of it...I used a different embossing folder on the frame and then layered over the verse stamped on vellum...The Stamping Studio makes the stamp, all inks Ranger...Debbie's Diecuts door hanger and frame...to see all the die cuts I offer check out http://www.picturetrail.com/debbiesdiecuts

Chipboard Box project

This is the finished chipboard box project...I added photo frames layered onto blue cardstock, I will add photos of the grand kids later...

I have been wanting to make one of those coaster boxes...I ordered my coasters, but they are not here yet...so I used my square sizzix die cut and chipboard to cut out all the parts, covered each with pattern paper and sanded the edges, I used distress inks to accent the panels, then used my Bind it all to punch the holes, organza ribbon to sew together...

Door hanger project


This is my new door hanger die cut and gift bag die cuts used together to make this project...this was fun to do...lots of possibilities here, I will be making more of these...

Die cut tags



I finally got some studio time today...only an hour...but hey, thats better than none...I made these tags, using my favorite die cut tag, some Cuttlebug embossing folders, Alcohol inks, punches, stamps and inks...On the black tag I did the embossing, then rubbed my Gold Brilliance pad across the surface to accent the embossing, then trimmed the edges with my gold metallic pen...I added some gold rick rack, and the stamped images using sticky dots...These tags are for a swap...I still have to make the other 4 that I need...The blue tag is cut from glossy white cardstock, I used Stream and Stonewashed Alcohol ink with a touch of Copper metallic mixative, for the backgrounds, then I ran it thru the embossing folder...I also did a piece of glossy in Wild plum and butterscotch and one in Pesto and Meadow...I then used my flower punch on the pink and cut two flowers, one for the base and one to make the bloom, then used my leaf punch on the green and punched two leaves...
