Paper, Glue, I Love You!




Went to a fun day at the Stamp Art Shoppe with about 16 other girls and we had a delightful time making valentines. I think, in all, we made about 8 different projects. I have sent some of mine off already. Sandy and Richele always make their workshops fun....we had a great lunch and little surprises throughout the day. I even won a doorprize! So here are three of my valentines.... The top card has one of the Tim Holtz "acrylic fragments" over the paper. I actually am not much of a card maker, but I learned to use the Cuttlebug embossing technique where you use double sided paper and sand the top to reveal the second color! Love that! The post below this one shows a sympathy card using the same technique.

Pat: I love the first "card"!! The colors and composition are great! And the "hanger" really makes it cool!!

Hi friend. These are just wonderful. I especially like the second one, and the technic used. I too like to sand, but mostly on paint chips, and then rub them with paste brown shoe polish, for a distressed look.

It sounds like you had a lot of fun at your class or group meeting. My local group meets this coming Saturday. I'm sure it will be fun.
