[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjISLpw57Os] Welcome to my very first video! WOOOOO HOOO!!! I’ve shared a couple cards where I used the Autumn Accents Die to create a mask from an acrylic (Window) sheet. I love using Window Sheets for masks because they are much longer lasting and acrylic surface is great to pulling the ink into the open area. Here I show …
The SUO challenge this time is to make a unique fold card. I have not had the chance yet to make a twisted easel card so decided that now would be a GREAT time to do that. The base is made from the 2nd to biggest window framelit in Cajun Craze. I then added a full Cajun Craze panel over …
http://stampercamper.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1215&action=edit&message=1Oh my…the CAS challenge this week is to be inspired by the quote… “I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night-Galileo” How wonderful is that! As soon as I saw that I thought of the phrase “Peace on Earth” and wanted just a couple stars ‘twinkling’ in the sky. Now I have to be honestly, …
I was really stumped by Mary Jo’s Technostamper sketch challenge this week. I think it was the on point square that did me in. Anyway after playing with it a LONG time. I finally came up with this. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and I hope the sales were with you if you went shopping. The base of …

Okay…so two very different things came together for this ‘contemporary’ card this morning! First was the color challenge on SCS today…Tempting Turquoise, Gumball Green and Pear Pizzazz (I used Certainly Celery…just a little lighter). Second was looking through the website of a stamper (N@ Ali) who has such a fun, clean style (very graphic!) and finding this fun layout. You …

Okay…I just LOVE banners on a card and when I saw the sketch for CAS196 this week, well…it was a ‘no brainer’ to play along. I think it did get ‘away’ from me a bit and is a little more than simple but I do think the clean look is definitely there. I do love snowflakes and that is what …

Happy Monday everyone! Going to be quite a chilly week here in Ohio. When I checked out the CAS challenge on SCS this morning I saw a beautiful fall inspiration photo. I took the colors and the ‘leaves’ as my inspiration. The base of the card is Very Vanilla. I took another piece of Very Vanilla, used a mask a …
On Sundays Splitcoaststampers features and artist and their gallery. When I looked to see who it was this week, it was Jen Mitchell!
