August Stamping


After I finished making all of the invites it was on to the Thank You notes. I made 150 if these as well although I only had to stamp three images for this card. These took less time to make but unfortunately I have had to travel more for work and I didn't have as much time to make them.

Thank goodness for the stamp-a-ma-jig. I never could have made these or the invite without one. I stamped the image on some cardstock vellum and marked the edges of the paper on the vellum & then used the samj. By marking the edge of the paper on the vellum I was able to make sure that the images were just about in the same place every time. There is a slight bit of variation but it works really well over all. If you don't own one call your Satmpin' Up demo right now and order one. It is the best tool I have ever owned.

Well I better go I have table cards, menu cards, table numbers and programs left to stamp. I am glad this wedding is in just over a month.

Wish me luck.

My Summer















This is what I worked on almost all summer. My brother is getting married in October and I made their wedding invitations. I started in June and finally finished them at the end of July.

In addition to the invite itself, there were four enclosures, the front closure and the inner envelope to stamp. All in total I stamped eight images for each complete invitation. I made 150 of these so stamped 1200 images just for the inviations! I am so luck that my husband work for Lexmark printers and we have a really nice color laser printer that enabled me to be able to print all of the pieces for these invitations. With a little trial and error I was able to match the printing to SU's Chocolate chip.

I am not even done you can see my next post to see what I worked on the month of August.

Let the Wedding Madness Begin

My brother is getting married in October and I very graciously decided to make the wedding invites. So that is what I have been working on all summer. This little book is one of the first non invitation things I have had time to make. I made this for Shea to keep track of all of their wedding gifts with. I made it to match their wedding invites which are Mellow Moss & Chocolate Chip. The invites are all made with this one stamp from the retired hostess set "Garden Silhouettes".

Mini Notebook

I made this for one of the girls at work. Her dad has been really sick & since he lives out of state she hasn't been able to be with him. I thought this might cheer her up.
For this I used some of the retiring designer series paper "Cutie Pie", I love this paper & I hate to see it go. I'm sure there will be something great in the new catalog to replace it.

Happy Birthday 'Lores

My grandmother's birthday was Monday. This is the card I made for her birthday. I decided to use the new "Fresh Cuts" set from Stampin' Up. I am a little slow to use it since most demos got it along time ago. I thought this would be a perfect use for this set.
