I made these cards for my first "customers" (a.k.a my mother-in-law and sister-in-law) using one of the stamp sets that came in my consultant kit!
It's called For a Friend (D1542) and it's a new set from the 2013 CTMH Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog.
Just a little sneak peek of what's coming in February...
Check back tomorrow (February 1st) to see the new Idea Book & Catalog, new SOTM (Stamp of the month) and a new promotion!

Thanks for stopping by!

Faux Washi Tape: Stamping Techniques

Here are two ways to stamp a faux washi tape...

Technique #1:
1. Choose a stamp that looks like ribbon (this one is from Close To My Heart, Cricut® Artiste Collection).
2. Ink the stamp in color of choice (you don't have to ink the whole stamp, just the length you want plus about half an inch).

3. With a wet wipe, or tissue, wipe off the edges of the stamp to simulate the torn edges of the tape.

So it should look something like this before you stamp on your project.

Technique #2:

1. Tear two pieces of paper and place on the stamp. You can use the sticky part of Sticky Notes, so the pieces won't move around...

2. Ink the stamp.

3. And depending on how you tear the paper, it will look something like this...

Hope you give it a try!

Weekend Projects: Stamped Treat Bag

I had to give some stuff to my sister-in-law, so I thought I would stamp the bag and write the note on, instead of using a card for that.
I used stamps from Close To My Heart (Cricut® Artiste Collection) and Memento ink pad.
For the faux washi tape, I'll post the technique on Wed...so, check back later!
