Ken has been preparing the soil, buying the seeds and planting the onions. It’s that time of year. ” Finn Whistling While He Works” reminds me of how much Ken enjoys doing the gardening. First I made a copy of a seed packet. Sprayed it with water and crumpled it up for the background. When it was dry, I smoothed it out and touched the high ridges with a brown ink pad. I glued this to the blue layer and then to the green card. Finn (Stampavie) was colored with Copic markers and then torn out. The edges were distressed with the same brown ink pad. The image was glued on top and a flower added for embellishment. What a great card for Father’s Day or a guy’s birthday this season. And the good news is that you can purchase the stamp, ink and markers now at our on-line store. If you want a gal gardening try” Elodie in Her Garden” using the same technique.

These new Stampavie stamps are so CUTE! The rabbit with the pencil (Just to Say) could be used any time of year with any message. I used a spring saying from Hero Arts. The cardstock is Stamp Express quality cardstock, the designer paper is BoBunny. The punch is Martha Stewart. All colors are Copic Markers. Several folks have asked that I publish the colors I use. So, beneath each card I have listed the Copic colors. But, know that you could use any 2 shades of a color family that you happen to own. If you would like more colors, check out our selection at our on-line store.
The Easter chick is cut out with a labels 1 Nestabilities die.

We had such a good time at the Gettysburg Scrappers Dream Vacation event that I want to share some of it with you. Our booth featured make-it/take-its with Margaret keeping it lively. The Scor-pal and Copic Markers seemed to be a big hit. Here are some photos of the gals working on the projects.
We also introduced two new stamp companies; Just-Rite and Stampavie. Two of the 12″x12″ pages we had on display are below. All images were colored with Copic markers. Bo-Bunny’s double sided paper got a lot of raves as did the Scor-tape. These products are now selling on our web store with the exception of the Bo-Bunny paper. That will be coming soon!
If you have never attended an SDV, consider the upcoming one in August at Hagerstown, MD. We’ll be there! If you’re interested go to their website at www.eventpathunlimited.com/events/

Below are some pics taken at our vendor booth at the Gettysburg SDV. Perhaps you’ll see yourself in some of these.
omg! The Stampavie order just came and I couldn’t wait to stamp their new stamps. Here are two that I put on our Stamp Express fence cards. How cute! Both are stamped with Memento inks and colored with Copic Markers. The words and flower stamps are from Hero Arts. When you order the fence cards we include the diecut grass strips for the front of the fence. Think of all the possibilities. You could stamp flowers on the fence, or a vine. You could change the theme for any season of the year. At Christmas, hang a wreath on the fence. For Halloween, stack up some pumpkins. What FUN!!! Fence cards, Copic Markers, Memento pads, Copic cardstock, and Stampavie stamps are available in our on-line store. Order soon. These won’t last long. Order fence cards by going to the diecuts category in the on-line store.

When the new stamps came in from Stampavie, I couldn’t wait to stamp them all. So far these are the 3 I finished coloring (with Copic Markers of course) and made into cards. One other that was a get well card got sent to my cousin to cheer her up after a hip replacement. I’ll redo that and share it with you another time. Please enjoy these, and sign up for our Copic class on Dec. 12 if you haven’t already taken it. It really is helpful.
All of these cards used the following products:
Cardstock - The Paper Cut
Designer paper - Creative Imaginations
Markers - Copic
The 1st card also used a border punch from the Martha Stewart Collection
