The Stamping Lady

Surprise

2011-01-25T16:42:54-06:00

Well, the surprise is on me today! I stopped in to see what I had left for a forwarding link and <surprise>!! my Christmas post was all I found.

Sorry about that.

If you have been following me for a while, you'll remember when about 1-1/2 years ago I drug everyone over here to my New Blog. Well, I have come to the conclusion I do not have enough time or focus to use all the bells and whistles here. Soooo...there is really no reason to pay to blog here when I can move back to my original (free) blog.

So now I will give you the link! You haven't missed much anyway, been pretty quiet over there but am getting ready to gear up. Eventually I will get the domain mapped over there so it will become thestampinglady.com but for now you will find me at www.tashasdesignworld.blogspot.com .

Merry Christmas

2010-12-24T10:35:00-06:00

Wishing you a blessed Christmas!

We will be celebrating with my husband's family this weekend which is always a good time. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for everyone travelling.

Watch for the new mini-catalogs to be arriving soon, new promotion, Sale-a-bration teases, and changes to The Stamping Lady schedule.

Thanks for stopping in!

Last Minute Family Gift

2010-12-22T10:41:00-06:00

Are you running out of time? Did you get all your goodies and homemade treats done and presented to your friends and neighbors?

If not, here's an idea that you can make without messing up your kitchen!

The base is a giant-size Hershey bar. The recipient will smile after reading the poem under the flap.

This idea was shared with me several years ago and I saved the poem* (ate the chocolate, of course). So I hope you can put it to good use as well.

Last Minute Teacher Gift Package

2010-12-20T08:35:59-06:00

Need a little something to pack up your homemade treats? Stampin' Up!s CandyCountdown Calendar Kit comes to the rescue.

You know...the one you bought with good intentions of making a darling Christmas countdown...

so grab it and get you're ready to go!

The image panel is die cut--just punch out and glue on. Sentiment is from Tags Til Christmas stamp set. Love that set because it coordinates with so many punches making tags quick and easy.

The real red grosgrain ribbon is included for the handles. I added satin ribbon, die cut snowflake, and a button from the Candy Cane Big Buttons collections to embellish the top of the boxes.

I aplogize for the long absence, but just haven't had enough hours in the day for about a month. And I'm trying to learn to function with Windows 7, a new computer, etc.

As the kids put it "we had an electronic revolution" at our house. :)

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Hostess or Guest Gift

2010-11-19T14:09:22-06:00

Just in time for your Thanksgiving guests or to present to a hostess if you are lucky enough to be a guest! This Blessing Mix is a nice gesture and can be wrapped up so many ways.

Today's little package is wrapped in fall colors designer series paper (pattern retired) and a crimped strip of Baja Breeze cardstock. The pheasant adds just the right amount of color and empahsis. The turkey is part of Stampin' Up!s Autumn Breeze stamp set.

You can click on the picture for a larger view if the words are hard to read. This Blessing Mix idea came to me from fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Angie Juda.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

December Cards of the Month Club

2010-11-16T10:04:00-06:00

Have you been wondering about this? Well, since I did not take a picture early, I have no photo of the cards this month. But trust me, they're fabulous! :)

I can show one of them that I photographed by itself. Sort of a sneak peek, I guess.

This card was designed by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Becky Roberts. I made some for the craft fair and thought you would love them, too.

Ready to sign up or see the details about how Cards of the Month club works? Visit my Cards of the Month Club page.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Turkey Punch Art

2010-11-15T14:00:08-06:00

Apparently I did get a picture of Tom Turkey before the camera fell off the table. Isn't he a fun little guy?

The punches I used: scalloped circle, 1-1/4" circle, 3/4" square (discontined), modern label, and 3-flower (discontinued).

The scallop circles are cut in half for the tail so it only takes 4 of them for the turkey. Beak is just a triangle, and I doodle the eyes with a basic black Stamp'n Write marker.

Tom is stuck together with Tombow multi-purpose liquid adhesive (my favorite) and adhered to a top note die cut. But he would look good on the front of a Thanksgiving card as well.

I need to clarify that I did not design this guy. A fellow demonstrator shared him on our private online community. Yet, another perk of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. If you are considering joining my team, I've got an Amazing Offer to share later this week...stay tuned!!

Hope you get a chance to make some of these turkeys before Thanksgiving.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

I Wonder What Would Happen If...

2010-11-14T11:35:21-06:00

my camera broke and I didn't have any pictures of Cards of the Month? And I didn't have time to take it in to be looked at right away?

Yep, that's what's going on here.

I have determined that digital cameras are not nearly as tough as the old film-style point and shoots.

I have a couple projects left to share and then I won't have new ones until either my camera is fixed or I get a new one.

It's a strange feeling.

Tomorrow I will have a picture (borrowed from a fellow demonstrator) of the turkey toppers punch art so that you have time to make some before Thanksgiving! All you need is the scallop circle punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, and a small flower punch, plus scissors, a black marker, and some scraps of fall (turkey) colored cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
