Stampin’ Gals Gone Wild Wednesday

Posted on August 28, 2013August 23, 2013 by Josee

Stampin' Gals 3

It's Stampin' Gals Gone Wild Wednesday! Today's is Connie Stewart's turn and the video is Part 2 of a video that she shared a couple weeks ago.

From Connie….You may recall that I shared how to convert your wheels into fabulous border stamps. Today I am going to show you how to use those borders all around the edges of a card without overlapping – Mitered Corners!

Whether you are using wheels or long border stamps, this technique is a MUST LEARN. You will love the simplicity and ease of making perfect mitered corners on your cards.

For those of you who follow the FLASH CARD series on my website, you'll notice that this is a Flash Card as well! So easy and so fast. Who doesn't love a quickie card?!

I really love the bold look of the Melon Mambo, Basic Black, and Whisper White! It's just stunning!

Regarding Dahlias has been one of my favorite new stamp sets here lately. You know me… I just want to stamp BIG and go home! lol

Are you ready to learn this great miter technique? Well, let's go!

Magnificent Maple Stampin’ Up! Card

Christmas Messages just for you!

Posted on August 22, 2013August 22, 2013 by Josee

Today is a yucky day outside and it makes me happy to be inside my nice warm house. I can hardly believe how little time we have left of summer and how little warm, sunny days we have left.

Are you organized for Back to School? I don't feel that I am yet….I still have to go out to buy shoes for the kids and some clothes but, hey, we have a week and a half, right?!

This week has been alot of catch up after our week of camping last week. We were at a Yogi Bear Camp in North Java, New York. It really was a great time though the first few days were cold and rainy. We ended up going to Darien Lake as part of our trip and I got to go on roller coasters! Here's a secret about me–I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS!!! Ok, maybe it's not a secret anymore….but, I just LOVE them and I was so thrilled to get a chance to go on them, especially since the park was so quiet.

So, onto today's card…what I love about this card is that it perfectly shows off one of our new Greeting sets from the Holiday catalogue.

Christmas Messages Clear-mount Stamp Set
Look at all these SUPER DUPER GREETINGS to use on your cards!

Aren't they awesome?!
