Cleaning and Selling

Published by notimetostamp under Uncategorized

I’m still trying to work in my stamproom (the never-ending project!) I’ll be listing things here periodically in small lots as I go through the room. I just listed a small lot of stamps in my For Sale tab up on top — several are older SAB sets. This is a good lot for someone who doesn’t have a lot of stamps, is just getting started, or for kids to play with. Just email me if you’re interested!!!

Thanks much!!! Hope to get another 10 minute card or two up tonight.

10 Minute Project

For the next couple days I’ll be working on super quick projects. I need to come up with a few things that people can complete in about 10 minutes at a Make-N-Take. This is my first attempt — not sure this will be one of the cards I do use — we’ll just have to wait and see! Would this card make you want to stop and do it as a Make-N-Take at a show? Please, be honest — it’ll help me to plan! Thanks!!!

  • Stamps: Flourished Elements, Lace Heart, Many Sentiments all by Flourishes
  • Paper: Soft Sky, Black, White
  • Ink: Versa Fine Onyx Black
  • Accessories: Black Sheer Ribbon from Flourishes, Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds, Heart Nestability by Spellbinders, Large Oval Punch, Brad, 1/8″ punch
  • Size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

I do like this design — just thinking it might be too plain — I guess because there are so few layers — but it needs to be a 10 minute card — decisions, decisions!!! I used a hand held 1/8″ punch to make holes to run the ribbon through. The Heart is the Lace Heart by Flourishes, but you’ll notice it is smaller than normal. I stamped the Lace Heart onto the Soft Sky paper and then I ran it through the Cuttlebug with a Heart Nestie that was smaller than the stamped heart — nothing to line up and much easier and quicker for a busy situation — plus, it’s fun to be able to use that gorgeous Lace Heart in various sizes!!! The heart is mounted on SU Dimensionals and the sentiment oval is on a fatter Pop Dot. I went over only the thicker lines in the corner flourish with the glue pen and covered with Dazzling Diamonds — love the sparkle, which is not showing at all in the photo!!!

Oh, and yes, everything will be pre-cut for the Make-N-Take, whatever I decide on, and the heart will be run through the CB with the Nestie, so it’s just quick stamping and assembly.

That’s it for tonight!!! Thanks much for stopping in and, please, give me an honest answer of what you’d think of this for a Make-N-Take.
