Hand Stamped Tags for Crochet Items

Finally a crochet stamp!!! When I saw this ball of yarn from cupcaketree on etsy that came customized I had to have it! Why should the knitters be the only ones to have yarny fun?!

I whipped up these tags last night with a Creative Memories punch and some of my existing stamps (my website stamp is from Creative Memories too). I love them and they'll be a perfect extra touch for my craft fair crochet goodies this season. First show is at the Plattsburgh State Field House- Saturday and Sunday 10-5 in Plattsburgh NY. Let the fun begin!

Fixer Upper Picture Frames

My best friend's shower is this weekend. I've been working on her favors. Her mom picked up some frames that needed a little something else.

The shiny had to go- lucky it peeled off!I used Versa Magic Dew Drop Chalk Ink Pads all over for a smudgy funky look- in Purple and then in Olive and vice versa (the wedding colors). I let them dry and I think re-invented the favors!

I'm a fan of the dew drops because they are the perfect shape for smudging- try this technique on a card and enjoy a fancy frame. Stamp a saying in the middle and ta da! Card on the quick :) You can use other stamps pads but the bigger they are the harder you'll have controling the color.

Have fun!

METAL.....stamping :)

I am a metal head. The first time I saw my hubby is at a Megadeth show and I officially lost it when Sevendust stopped by the office where I worked. It seemed only natural for me to start working with metal. I'm currently exploring metal stamping and I think I've come up with some pretty original pieces.



So - what do you think?????
