Stamp Camp

Here are a couple of projects from our last Stamp Camp. The Embrace Life card was adapted from a trade my manager, Benda Stayner, got from Leadership Training, and the Purse card design came from Patty's Stampin Spot (check my favorite blog list!).

BftP! - Liquid Pearl

Remember the little bottles of Liquid Pearl we used to carry? I stamped the butterflies and the dragonfly in VersaMark, embossed in detail black, painted with Liquid Pearl and then Clear embossed over everything before cutting out...

Blast from the Past! - The Beginning

My "Blast from the Past!" posts are going to comprise those cards from days gone by. You know you have them: boxes and baskets and crates, hiding in cabinets, cupboards, the garage, or the attic all filled with samples and swaps and trades. If you've been stampin' as long as I have, you can get a case of the giggles going back through some of these gems of creativity. Common phrases you may say to yourself may be "What was I thinking??!?!"

Once in a while though, you may run across a pleasing card that still makes you proud to be a stamper, or touches of a wave of nostalgia. Your first scrapbook page. Your first Button Bear™ card. Your first embossing project.

In the spirit of sharing the love, I'll be posting some of my favorite or most infamous creations that I've accumulated over the years once or twice a week. Just look for the BftP label!
