Stamp With Linda Walsh

Hi, Everyone,

Well, I'm already late with my promise to get one Christmas card done a week. This is for Week 2. I'm going to have to step it up a notch but I haven't given up yet.

This card is for the Deconstructed Sketch No. 35 challenge.

I used the Merry Medley Chipboard pack from SU for the tag. I'm going to try and use these more for my Christmas cards since I don't have enough of them to hold a class with. All I did was glued on my cardstock and then cut around it.

Visit below for products used. Thanks for visiting with me.

New Year's Resolution.....I'm already behind

01/16/2012

6 Comments

Hello, Everyone,
Well, this year I got so behind on my crafting that I wasn't able to get my Christmas cards done. So I never sent any out. Me, the card lady. How dare I?

I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, but I actually made a promise to myself, and now I need your help, too. I'll be posting once a week a Christmas card, and guess what? I'm already behind. I'm hoping by making it known to you all my intentions so that I'll actually follow through with this resolution.

Well, here's the first one. I'll post in a few days a second one, and then I'll be on track. I'm hoping by posting my Christmas cards to you all will keep me on the straight and narrow :)

See below for some details on this card.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Christmas Door Wreath

12/12/2010

Hello, Everyone,

I'm finally back to doing a few cards for Christmas. I've been creating a lot of 3d items, so it's nice to get back to some cards.

We'll be making this card in our club this week coming up. It's really cute, I think!

Oval with textured background technique/video

10/31/2010

Hello, Everyone,

I've been getting a lot of questions on how I created this technique with the oval and textured background so I thought I'd show you a video. The key is to have the right layering. It's dependent upon the thickness of your chipboard template, what tab you use on the Big Shot, and how many cutting plates you use. I think I've covered all the variabilities. You just have to try it different ways until you come up with the formula that works for your machine. I tried five different ways, so it does take a little patience.

Thanks for all your questions and comments. I really appreciate it.

Invitation challenge over at Soul Scrappers

10/10/2010

Hi, Everyone,
This is for Marisa's challenge over at Soul Scrappers. Create an invitation using a digital program or traditional invitation. I stamped the tree on the white and then used Vellum on top in which I stamped "You're Invited" and the rest of the lines for where, when, what, etc.

Now I've gotten a head start on my invites for Christmas Eve. I love being ahead of schedule.

Thanks for visiting with me.

Crimped Diamond Technique

09/08/2010

2 Comments

Hello, Everyone,

Here's the crimped diamond technique. These cards were probably the quickest I've ever made a card. The stamp set just went so well with this technique. I didn't have to think about it at all. That's very rare. It usually takes me an hour or two to design a card. I love it when it happens like this. Well, anyways, here's two cards I used with this technique.

I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks.
Linda
