Stampin! with Jaydee

And the winner is......

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. Thank you to all of you who left an opinion on which of the DSPs should be used for the base of my monstermaniacs Halloween card. I loved reading all of your opinions. Number 2 was the winner - with number 4 the second choice! So, the she-monster will be permanently housed on the Pumpkin Pie DSP. Here's the final choice: Now, more importantly, I put the numbers 1-22 into the Random generator. Number 1 being the earliest comment and number 22 being the last. Here's the result: Based on that calculation, Sally D is the... Read more →

Monstermaniac 4 ways and a little blog candy

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. Hope you all had a great weekend. We had a relaxing weekend, did a few things around the house and Lou is now in the garage installing the storage units we finally got around to buying today! Me, I spent a little time in my craft room playing around with Monstermaniacs and Designer Typeset. I'm so in love with this Monstermaniac set and knew that I wanted to create a Halloween card. I stamped the moster, colored him with Copics and then set about chosing a background DSP. Mmmm... that's when I became totally indecisive and... Read more →

Winter Frost Snowflake for Paper Players # 165

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday night. The fabulous Anne Marie has a great sketch challenge for us this week. When I saw the sketch I knew that the back panel would be made from DSP and when I went into my crafting room, I noticed a piece of scrap Winter Frost Specialty DSP sitting on my craft table. I decided it was a great starting point for the card. Next, I needed the element in the corner. I went to my pack of glimmer paper and found a snowflake in the packet. Ah. Ha! All that I had to do was... Read more →

Layered Postmarks with embossing paste

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. Hope you have all had a great week. Me? I am so looking forward to 4 days at home. Yep! I have Monday and Tuesday off, so that means a long weekend and time to get into my stamping space! Lou has just returned home from 2.5 weeks in China, so I am going to make this a quick post and then go and cook dinner :-) When I was "attending" the last onlinecardclasses course, Tim Holtz used a product called embossing paste. I was pretty taken with this as a product and couldn't wait to... Read more →

Lovely as a Tree Christmas Cheer

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I have a very quick post for you tonight. I never use Lovely as a Tree. I always seem to forget about it. But... over the weekend, I had this idea that was forming in my little brain and I knew I needed to try to get it onto paper. I wanted to create a snow scene in monochromatic colors of greys and white. Smoky Slate was the perfect way for me to do that, on condition that I did a "second generation" stamping. On it's own it's just too dark and wouldn't provide me with... Read more →
