Free Hermes Bag?

I don't know how to post a picture of it but trust me, it's off the Hermes facebook page. You can get a free one also. They are paper though, and you need to assemble it yourself. But it is genuine Hermes :). I had no idea that I would want one until I saw it. I'm a sandal and tee-shirt wearing person, I'm stunned I've fallen for Hermes : ).

WOYWW 275

I'm working on a stack (13 sheets) of unmounted rubber stamps I bought in 2010... then lost and now found! They were hiding right in plain sight, which is always the hardest place for me to see them lol. So now it's just cutting them apart, putting them in my glue box, putting tacky glue on the back stamping all the images putting them in a plastic sheet cover, filing them in the right notebook/binder and ta da lol.

One of my favorite cards this week. Pull the string and it reveals the word "Chairs!". Slide mechanism is better on this one there will be a tutorial when I sort it all out lol. I am still obsessed with moving cards.

A very close second is my first ever spinner card that I made for my daughter. The sentiment (I Love You to the Moon and Back) is stamped with glow-in-the-dark ebossing powder.

 So if you want to see more crafty spaces, head over to Julia's Stamping Ground and have a gander!

I've got a stamp for that

The CASology cue card for Week 112 is Three. I immediately got an earworm of Three Blind Mice.

I've been hearing the phrase, "I have an app for that" for a while. I never say it because I have a "dumb as a rock phone". (It makes calls, it's what I like it to do. I also have a GPS and a camera. The downside, is it's more to carry. The upside is that if one thing stops working, the other two usually carry on.) Unlike many people in the world though, I often say "I have a stamp for that." Even if I have to carve it myself lol.

In this case I carved the mouse on a pink eraser. Really easy to cut, but I feel I have to be careful when I clean it lest I erase a leg or ear or part of the tail.I stamped it with a white pigment ink and drew the sunglasses on with a Sharpie. The card base is Papertrey Ink Classic Kraft

Seahorse Birthday Card

Simon Says Boldly Go. The image is from Tim Holtz' Seahorse Sketch stamp, the sentiment is Papertrey Ink's Movers & Shakers stamp set (stamped with Faded Jeans Distress Ink). The seahorse is painted with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks smooshed on my craft mat and spritzed with water.  The background is painted with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

The seahorse is embellished with Black Diamond Stickles. Papertrey Ink True Black is used for a mat and the card base is Ocean Tides.

Enjoy the Journey

Simon Says Boldly Go. I used two of the stamps from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry The Journey. The plane is stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with Zing! Neon Yellow Fluorescent embossing powder (which is very very bright lol). The sentiment is stamped with Black Soot Distress Ink. Then a frame of Peacock Stickles is drawn around the edges.

The Weiner Takes It All!

The card base is Papertrey Ink Classic Kraft. The background is stamped with two of the sentiments from Paper Smooches Paws for a Cause with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The dog is also from Paws for a Cause stamped with Black Soot Distress Ink. Papertrey Ink Rustic Twine at the top.

Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes and my 5th contribution to Simon Says Stamp-It.

Getting those ducks in a row

Lawnscaping: One Layer Challenge. The stamps are from Lawn Fawn Hello Baby. I used Tumbled Glass, Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks spritzed with water to paint. I also entered it into the Simon Says Stamp-it challenge.
