Chalk Talk Tag

    The final project stampers made at my Open House on Sunday was a gift tag using the Chalk Talk and Secret Garden framelits.  I love using the framelits to cut out a stamped image.  Now that we have the magnetic platform the process is even easier than it was before. Here are the items we used to make this gift tag.

1. Chalk Talk framelit

2. Secret Garden stamp set and matching framelit

3. Magnetic platform for the Big Shot

4. New colors, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizazz, and Smoky Slate

  I had a great time at the Open House sharing new items with my stamping friends. Now, on to new classes thanks to ideas shared with the survey attendees filled out.

Simple Does It

   
     Do you ever need a card really fast and have none on hand?  This card was so easy to make that it would solve that problem for you. The central stamped image is two of the images from the Chalk Talk stamp set placed on top of each other.  Once again I was able to use the Magnetic Platform and Chalk talk framelits to quickly and easily cut out the stamped images.  I wanted to add something that helped the card pop so I found the Dahlia in color flowers did the trick. Another simple card ready to go and ready to duplicate.

Supplies used

Quatrefancy Specialty designer paper

Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Soft Sky,  card stock

Primrose Petals Dahlia buttons

Chalk Talk stamp set, and Framelit

Chalk Talk Simple Card

     Since this stamped image was so big, I wanted a great background.  I looked through the designer paper called Soho Subway and discovered this piece that had some grey and other striking colors in it.  This is another card from the Chalk Talk stamp set which I cut out using the matching Chalk Talk framelit and the MAGNETIC PLATFORM.  I cannot state enough how awesome the platform is.  I placed my card stock down, put the framelit over it and it stayed in place!  I used some of the Regal Candy Dots as a color accent on the stamped piece, and finished off the card with some Pacific Point striped ribbon. Another simple but striking card.

An Original card from Abby

     While I was assembling the flower accents for the napkin holders, Abby told me about an inspiration she had for making a dress card.  We assembled the supplies and other than giving her a few hints on adhesive or how to stamp the background stamp, she was on her own.  I was very impressed with her end product.  I think I'll have a sign up form ready for her in 8 years.  What do you think?

Preparing for the Hostess Brunch

     I have been out of my stamping mode for several days now because I was enjoying a visit from 3 of my grandchildren ages, 3, 5, and 10.  Abby, the 10 year old, has stayed behind by herself and was as ready to craft as I was.  She will be helping at my Hostess Brunch and thought up the idea of making napkin rings for the brunch table.  This is what we came up with.  I used a lot of new product for this project.

1. Secret Garden Stamp Set

2. Secret Garden Framelits

3. THE MAGNETIC PLATFORM FOR THE BIG SHOT

     I have been eagerly waiting for the platform and it is everything I was hoping it would be.  The rest of the flowers and leaves we will be cutting out will be so easy.  Abby is even able to position the framelits over the images with instant success and no help from me.

     We have a few more to make up so I am off to stamp with my granddaughter. (a little bit of heaven)
