Vyxxan's Virtual Venture

Archive for the ‘Stamping’ Category

I promised some photos of cards, and some actually have stamping on them!

No idea who makes the daffodil image… I believe that someone on the big list loaned me a bunch of daffodil stamps a few years ago… so I stamped pages and pages of the images to use later. (btw, if that was you, let me know if I ever sent you a thank you card, I hope I did!)

First, die cuts and embossing folder, and punched corners with computer printed greeting. This card is really pretty, I love how the copper looks so nice with the bright blue.

Joanna is the daughter of a really, really old friend that I haven’t seen in a super long time. I’ve literally known her mother since she was born, though. So, when we were chatting on FB and she said her daughter has an April birthday, I knew I had to make her a card.

Next up, the first 3 cards today. I expect to make a lot more as the day goes on, but I won’t be showing them all here… might ruin some surprises. :)

So, one die cut and border punch card, and two with actual stamping on them. I’ll use die cuts inside, probably. Maybe. We’ll see. :)

Lastly, because I know everyone seems to work like this… except for a few who are super neat and organized… a photo of my table with work in progress, lol! Sometimes the space in the middle is bigger… but right now it’s not. Sometimes there IS no space in the middle, because I’ve piled stuff in the only clear area. Blame it all on my lack of storage space… having to work out of boxes is not a nice way to go.

That’s it for now… for those of you helping me in my email update experiment, please email me your snail address, I promised something for helpers. Thanks!

This is just a test message for you, to see if you get an email update, and if you do… if you only get that email ONCE.

I got a bunch of Sizzix stuff in the mail today… embossing folders, texture plates, and dies. I’m all set to start making easy die cut greetings for birthdays.

Now I have to figure out the best way to adhere some of this stuff… it’s awful small to be using rubber cement. Other glues will show…. and no, I don’t have a good Sailor glue pen on hand. Used to have one, it dried up and I never replaced it. Guess I’ll have to remedy that!

Thanks for being part of my experiment! I’ll post more over the weekend, see how it works out.

(oh, and post pictures of stuff, too… that’s always nice, lol…)

First of all, thank you everyone for commenting!

I mentioned visiting Sara and Tony at Paper Odyssey back in July, probably at the bottom of another post. I had given her a silk scarf I’d dyed, and wanted to show her some of the others.

Sara ended up buying one from me, a big purple scarf that I call Galaxy Silk. I do the scarves mostly with Low Water Immersion, and the color variations are just fantastic on silk.

Sara sent me a photo a while back, of herself wearing the scarf. Kept meaning to post it, but it sort of got lost on my computer.

There is a lot of great stuff in the store there in Eureka Springs, just look at all that wonderful paper! I love visiting Sara… I never go anywhere else usually, just to Paper Odyssey. Just too long of a drive to do it very often!

Thanks Sara, for the photo!

I mentioned I’m going to have a contest.  I really need to rehome some things like all this fun yarn.  I’ve also got a couple packs of fancy paper to give away, but haven’t photo’d those.  Since most of my friends online are stampers, and quite a few of those stampers also like to knit or crochet…  well, what better way to rehome this yarn stash than by a giveaway?

Here it is divided up into sorted piles:

Just so no one is surprised, I may keep the boucle.  That first photo is the 3 bags I brought from my house tipped out on top of the washer.

Now I just have to decide how to run the contest! LOL!
