Valentine's Amour


This is one of the beautiful cards that we will be creating in my January Stamp Camp. This card features the "Artistic Etchings" stamp set. I love this set because the Eiffel Tower image is one of the few stamps that really captures the true details of this historical landmark.

The supplies used for this card include:


* Artistic Etchings Stamp Set, En Francais Background Stamp and the Occasional Quotes (Level 3 Hostess Set)
* Real Real, Basic Black and Very Vanilla Cardstock and Brights Collections Designer Series Paper Pack
*Jet Black StazOn Ink and Real Red Classic Ink
* Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Full Heart Punch, Big Shot, Polka Dot Embossing Folder and Heart to Heart Embosslit

Framed Friends


The new "Framed Tulips" Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is absolutely beautiful and can used for so many projects.

For this card I used the Friends image from the "Vintage Vogue" stamp set. The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock and the Framed Tulips were embossed on a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Baja Breeze cardstock. I also used the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper.

We will be creating this card at the January Stamp Camp.

Thinking of You

This is one of the cards that we made at my Birthday stamp camp last month. The moon effect was created by using the 1/2" circle punch and a post-it note to create a mask. After I stamped the Eiffel Tower in Jet Black StazOn ink, I then sponged on Not Quite Navy classic ink over the piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Once I applied the ink I removed the 1/2" circle and I had a beautiful "Moonlight" image.

Artistic Etchings is a beautiful stamp set and features the following images:

The stamp set is available in:

Clear Mount - $14.95 (120573)

Wood Mount - $18.95 (118517)
