Blueprint stamping…

My stamp room still isn't totally put back together after getting some new electrical run to the stamping tables, so I've been taking classes in the local area. These are two cards I made last weekend at the Hen House. I love the architectural design of the Tim Holtz stamps in these series… Since I am a seamstress also, I had to make some using the Sewing Blueprint set. A very talented lady , Cheryl Valdez teaches alot of the beautiful cards there. 

 

And the SEWING machine…. you have to have a Sewing machine to sew!! 

This actually looks like a machine I learned to sew on… though mine was a TREADLE machine!  .. I loved sewing on that machine in Home EC in school. Did anyone else out there sew on a Treadle machine?? My machine at home was in a regular cabinet, but we had quite a few in high school that were treadles. Oh how I would love to have one. You can really control all the stitching by how fast you move the treadle ! 

Leave me a comment if you ever sewed on a Treadle sewing machine, and I'll send you a surprise in the mail! 

We are getting some really neat embellishments in the new Stampin' UP! catalog that would go great on some sewing cards. If you'd like a catalog… email me for information on how to get one. If you place an order online this month for $50 or more, I'll send you one FREE in the mail!! I already have some ready to go out!!  Gorgeous new colors, embellishments, new RIBBONS, and other lucious things!! 

SHOP ONLINE HERE 24/7! 

For all you in the Albuquerque Area, we're having a HUGE Rubber Stamping/Crafting SWAP SALE this coming Sunday , 19 May 2013 at the Hen House , Riverside Plaza, off Coors and Montano.

Bloomin Bouquet Kit

This is a new kit available TODAY starting at 3:00 PM, only available until supplies last. 

Kit makes 13 hand crafted flowers, all buttons, backings,  stems and flower pieces included in the kits. 

  

Watch the video then go get yours before they are gone. Each flower uses 3 die cuts, 1 button, 1 stem, 1 backing. 

 

Order your BLOSSOM KIT HERE! 

Just in case you say…. Oh, i can make that… it would take 39 passes through the bigshot, or 39 punches of cardstock , just to create the flower bases. Then you have to go buy some florist wire, then punch out and cut 13 circles for backing on the flowers, then purchase a pack of the crystal buttons. So just the time and effort can be saved by buying the kit, let alone all the running around to find the necessary ingredients!! Item 134542 $12.95

Be sure to check out the SENT WITH LOVE Kit that is going away after tomorrow!! Buy your kit and come to a class in MAY to make a "Camera box" and Travel Journal to match! 

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Be sure to leave a comment.!

Secret Garden Album

I have been taking a local class using some G45 papers called Secret Garden to create a special one of a kind scrapbook memory album. I have included a couple of the pages here, which have NOT beem embellished yet with all the tags, ribbons, die cuts, etc.. I will post pictures as I finish the pages, but thought you might like to see what I started with. Charlene at the Hen House created this unique fold for this album. Hope you enjoy and get inspired to create yourself a memory album. Album was bound with a bind it all using the 1" rings. 

Cover of book 

Inside cover: 

One set of pages: 

All the sections have 3 sets of pages, 2 small and one large. Each page can be made to have up to 3 pockets (if you don't glue the wrong edge down).. and you can insert photos, tages, memorabilia, etc. 

Any set of papers could be used to create an album like this.. but the Secret Garden set is really a lovely set of papers. I have also started a "brown and white" set that would be great for Victorian embellishments with ecrue laces and stamping. I will also post pictures of those pages. They were from papers I had "sitting by my chair" and decided to fold some to see what they look like. They would also make a nice "masculine" type album for a family member.
