Hi Stamping Friends!
I've been having fun getting ready for my special Sale-a-Bration Celebration event coming up this Sunday. I can't wait to spoil all my stamping friends who earned this exclusive reward party!
Hey Sale-A-Bration Celebration Participants!
Just a reminder, I still need for you to RSVP by tomorrow April 17 if you are planning to attend the local event, and if you're bringing a friend, so I know how many supplies to prepare. If you're one of my online customers, I'll be sending out your kit early next week.

Hello You Thinlits Now Available! We've had many items that have been "not orderable" due to a shipping backlog from the dock worker's slowdown. But, the Hello You Thinlits and Crazy About You Bundles (wood, clear, photopolymer) which include the thinlits are now available for purchase! Woohoo!

Check out the stamped "leather" focal point on this card! Peggy Tassler brought this card for our Team masculine card swap and did a presentation on how to duplicate this faux-leather stamping technique. It's definitely Too Cool!
She CASEd the technique from Melissa Banbury at Porch Swing Creations.
Faux-Leather Stamping Technique How-To
- Start by stamping your image in Chocolate Chip ink onto Crumb Cake card stock.
- Outline the forefront images with a Stylus on a Piercing Mat.
- Sponge Crushed Curry ink over the image.
- Sponge Pumpkin Pie ink over the image.
- Sponge Soft Suede ink over the image.
- Sponge Chocolate Chip ink around the edges and random other areas.
- Re-apply Pumpkin Pie ink over the entire piece.
Leather Layer & Sweet Sentiment—Peggy's card used the moose image from Walk In The Wild for this awesome technique. The piece is 3" square and it's popped up with Dimensionals onto a 3-1/8" square Baked Brown Sugar layer. The greeting is from the Too Kind stamp set.
Background Basics—The 5-1/4" x 4" Cajun Craze layer is stamped in Chocolate Chip with the Hardwood background stamp. Then, Peggy did something that I've never thought to do...she embossed the wood stamped layer with the Woodgrain Texture Embossing Folder! Haha! Brilliant!
It's adhered to a Baked Brown Sugar card base.
Two Cool—Peggy did a second version of the card with Cajun Craze & Early Espresso accents. The background is decorated with Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper stack paper.
