Selling Stampin Supplies

Hello all,

Well the time has come, I have decided to sell most of my Stampin supplies.  It has been well over a year since the last time I have found time to make cards and paper crafts. 

Items for sale:
Stamps
Ink Pads
Ink Reinkers
Cardstock
Framelits
Dies
Punches
Ribbon


Before I start to post and list everything I have on the blog.  If you are looking for something please send me an email and we can work out a deal. 

If you are local, I was thinking of having a local yard sale but I would like to know who would be interested, before committing to a Saturday.  If you are interested, please email me and let me know.  

I do want to thank all of you for your support.  I am sorry I really have enjoyed making cards for you all but I have found my new passion - Sewing.  Well it really is not new it is something I've wanted to do since high school but never really felt strong enough to do it.  I am having fun learning more and improving my sewing skills.  I really enjoy making items from handbags, totes, makeup bags, so much more.  I have even done some clothing - shorts, Pj's pants, headbands and etc.  I am not quite ready sell online but maybe soon you will see me at local craft show or online.  Right now I have given my items as gifts to family for testing. 

If you are looking for a Stampin Up Demonstrator, I would have to say my mom. 

Thanks again for all your support over the years.

Much Appreciated


Kraft Paper, Dapper Denim, Craft White Ink
Kraft Paper, Elegant Eggplant Ink

The other day when I sat down to film a video of the previous Helping Me Grow Card, I really enjoyed watercoloring the image so much that I was inspired to create these cards.  I am in love white embossed flowers on the Kraft paper and I Love it with this stamp set.  I decided to make these into thank you cards but these could be used for birthday, get well, thinking of you, etc.  I am not sure why I grabbed the purples - Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder because purple is not my favorite but I love the contrast.   I may sit back down and play with some more colors and this technique but I had to share these.
Kraft Paper, Wisteria Wonder & White Craft Ink
I did try the White Embossed image on the Shimmer Paper but I think my favorite is on the Kraft Paper but I do like the softness of the white outlined flower on white cardstock.

Detailed Floral Thinlits and In-Colors



I have been wanting to play with the Detailed Floral Thinlits since I got them but just had the time to make a few cards.  I love this framelit, it makes such a beautiful easy card.  I know I have not done anything differently than what I have seen but I added a few touches.

  • After I cut out the Detailed Floral with the Very Vanilla Paper I colored the cutout with the Wink of Stellar - Clear pen to make sure it sparkled.  
  • I also used the Foam Strips (I had to cut a few very small to pop it up off the front).  
  • The window sheet insert for the front card flap.  
I had to used some of my favorite colors - Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum, and Mint Macaron.  I used the Very Vanilla because I wanted to use the New - Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you think!

Undersea Gel Card



This is the card I wanted to make as soon as I saw this stamp set in the new catalog.   I saw the underwater card using gel years ago and thought it was cool but of course never made one.  When I was at our local store I saw this off brand hair gel that had a blue hue and I thought it was prefect for this card.  

Whoever gets this card, I am sure won't stop touching the water part, it is pretty cool.  I am not sure how it will mail but maybe I will have to test it.

Seaside Shaker Card



Here's a few shaker cards I made a couple of weeks ago using the new Laying Square Framelits, Seaside Stamp Set and the By the Shore DSP.  My grandmother passed away on June 3rd, she was on my mind when I made these cards.  I always think of the beach, fabric and Chocolate Ice Cream when I think of her.  Whenever we visited her in the summer it was always the beach, the fabric store and eating all the Chocolate Ice Cream we wanted (I think she believe that was the only kind to eat and well I do agree).  Love you Grandma!  

I used my Fringe Scissors and a scrap of Crumb Cake and added a little gold glitter for the shaker part.  

The fish were cut out using my Scan and Cut.

Kraft & Glassine Bag Gift Card Holder


Here's some Gift Card Holders I made using the Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bags #138315 and the Glassine Gift Bags #141700 (page 176).  I also used the New By The Shore Designer Series Paper #141640 and Seaside Shore Stamp Set #141625.  I LOVE the colors in this Designer Series Paper.  I had to make a few end of the year gifts for teachers and bus drivers.  I also needed one for a birthday, these are so easy to make and love that they fit inside a envelope.  I made a lot of these at Christmas time and got the idea from Patty Bennett. -http://www.pattystamps.com/pattys_stamping_spot/2015/09/kraft-paper-bag-gift-card-holder-founders-circle-swap-by-patty-bennett.html
