big girl crafting panties required

Oh happy day! I am in love with this sweet, spring project! It's totally decorative and has no purpose, other than to make me smile! And smile I do, every time I walk by this little beauty.  

Admittedly, making this was a bit futzy. Please don't ask me how many times I let a few choice words fly while making it. (I blush.) But having made one, and worked out the kinks, I can't wait to make another!

In fact, I love this cutie so much, I decided to use it as a 3D project for my upcoming Stamp Camp! I know that the ladies will fall in love with it, just as I have. 

I hope that they bring their A crafting game, and wear their big girl crafting panties. Maybe then only a few explicatives will fly! ; ) 

And if you happen to be attending Stamp Camp, don't forget to bring the secret ingredient! The 4 1/4" circular lid from a canister of Progresso bread crumbs! 

Happy stamping!

More vellum

Here's another card that we will be doing for Stamp Camp! My BFF loved the last card that I did with vellum, so I came up with this with her in mind. I love how such a simple technique can have such a huge impact! 

When coloring vellum, just be gentle with your markers. There are little cracks that can rough up your marker tips. And you run the risk of poking holes if you are too aggressive. 

Happy stamping!
