Christmas Decoration from Regional Meeting

This is a sample featured at a regional meeting a few years ago.  I love the way this demonstrator did the J O Y  I especially like the little snowman peaking out here and there...very clever and cute.  I wish I knew her name to give her the credit.




Converting Wood Mounted Stamps - Continued

Last week I posted step-by-step instructions on how to convert your wood mounted stamps to clear mounted stamps.  Today I am sharing how I made the sleeves for the newly converted stamp sets.  You will find the link to download your own form at the bottom of the post.  I really love the way they turned out.

Below is the link to download your own "Blank Clear Mount Insert" sleeve.  The file includes fillable fields.  In other words, the form is black and you will need to add:  NAME of the stamp set, NUMBER of stamps in the set and a copy of the STAMP IMAGE.  I googled the name of the stamp set and got multiple images... copy and paste to the front.


Technique Tuesday: Paper Piecing

Triangle Tree Card

Saw this on Pinterest and SplitcoastStampers and had to try it.  I changed it a little bit to work with my measurements and design.  This card fits in a standard sized envelope.  I used Stampin' Up! Festival of Trees stamp set (Item # 135059) and All Is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper (Item #135823).  Both items are from the Holiday Catalog.

Find the middle of the card and cut towards the fold (see the pencil lines).
Once the card is cut, decorate to your liking.
