Kits of the Month-Jaunary

Some of you many have noticed that I have the new January Card kit of the monthup.  I’ve also decided to add 2 new types of monthly projects.  I’ve added the page of the monthand the project of the month.

Just like the card kits you will get all of the consumable products you need such as paper, ribbon and some accessories.  I will be featuring one stamp set in each of the different kits.  You can always get this set on sale with the purchase of the monthly kit.

In addition I’ve added a Kit Night.  This will be the last Thursday of each month.  This is a night that you can come and use any of my products to complete your monthly kits.  If you have loved the monthly kits, but are missing several of the products and just can’t afford them  this is the best place to get them all done.  You must pre-order your kit by the 15thof each month in order to attend the kit night.  You can still order any of the kits by the 25thof each month and pick them up later or have them shipped (additional charge).

You can see more information about each kit and the current kits by clicking here.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Here is a preview of the kits for this month.  Click on any of them to go directly to that kit.

I hope you will enjoy this new program and take advantage of it.  I’m not the one that designs the card kits but I will be doing the other two so if there is any set that you would love to see featured please let me know.

I just want to quickly clarify.  This is a different program than my monthly club.  There is no commitment simply pick the ones that you want to do and let me know before the cut off date.

Marvelous Monday 12-22-08

you-me-monkey My up-line Brandi made this for a swap at convention.  I think it’s really cute and fits in the Marvelous Monday Category.  I really love the You & Me stamp set which is being retired so make sure you order yours before it’s to late.

Remember you can click on the picture if you want to see it bigger.

Freewheeling Friday Holiday Fun Pages

I usually tend to do cards when I am trying to come up with an idea so this time I decided to challenge myself and come up with a scrapbook page to share.  I have to say that I think it turned out really cute and I’m excited to share it with you.  Today’s theme is Freewheeling Friday so I just need to use a wheel.  I had fun making the Rudolph with the punches and the Big Shot.  I hope you like the pages.  I even added pictures.fwf-holiday-fun-pg-1fwf-holiday-fun-pg-2

Marvelous Monday 12-8-08

6c-marchThis is my first post for my Weekly Challenges.  Sorry it’s so late in the day. 

Coloring on Stamps with Markers

This is a basic Marker Technique but I still love it.  It’s using your markers to color directly on the stamps.  The sample I”m showing you is actually from my 6×6 Calender.   You can sign up for this at my Mega Calendar Event.  You can see how I colored most of the words with Chocolate Chip and then the clover with Old Olive. 

Now here’s a little trick.  Have you ever tried to color on your stamps and you get a really bad smear or it seams to like bubble up like water and not stay even.  I have found this is really common with new stamps.  What I’ve found is that if you stamp it a few times in an ink pad then clean it off you the color will stay more evenly.  I’ve also found it’s better to just stamp it into a really light pad and then clean it by just stamping several times onto scratch paper. 

I love using the markers this way because you can get a variety of colors on it.  It’s also great if you don’t have all the stamp pads yet.  You can save a little money to start off with and get the markers which will give you access to all of our great colors. 

One more little tip.  If you’ve been coloring for a while then you may want to huff on your stamp (breath on it lightly) to re-moisten your ink so you get a nice stamp.  This is also great to help keep it from streaking.  Remember to touch lightly when you  are inking so it doesn’t get to thick and create extra blotches on your paper. 

I hope you have enjoyed my weekly post for today and I’ll be back tomorrow.
