Andrea's Scraps

I’ve been busy with the Ippity and Unity stamps these days. Cards, scrapbook pages, altered stuff, you name it! It’s all FUN because I’m stamping!

Ippity and Unity make it easy to stamp. Just place the red rubber stamp onto an acrylic block, ink it up and away you go! You’re a stamper now! It’s fun to watch people stamp for the first time. They’re so tentative and gentile. Rubber is so rugged that it’s doubtful they could hurt a red rubber stamp! With the exception of chemicals or sharp objects, rubber stamps are very good about holding their own!

I really loved the Nook & Pantry line when BasicGrey introduced it. It has a lot of nostalgic feel to it and of course, classic kitchen icons. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the clear stamp sets that came from that collection. It has a great teapot and cup in it shown in the card below. Isn’t that just perfect classic kitchen?? I used some of the beautiful Chocolate colored embossing powder from P K Glitz on the images and strip across the top of the card.

I’ve been working with this neat software from Poppy Hill Designs called Dazzling Reflections. You may have noticed the badge on the side bar – they are a P K Glitz Preferred Partner.

The software is straightforward from the start. Start the software, bring in a photo, choose a template then printing size! The tutorials on the web site and in the software itself are very good. The owner Wendy is a whiz at it! You should see the projects she makes!

The card below was made using one of the square templates that comes with the standard software. There are additional themed template sets that you can purchase. I printed the kaleidoscope at just under 5×5, trimmed around the outside then the middle to make the photo frame. I then stamped and embossed the center saying. A nice Easter card using a picture I took!

One of the fun parts of crafting and working at craft expos is getting to meet people across the country that you may not get to meet otherwise. Joe and Kathy from Seaside Stampin’ Ink are two such people. With great rubber stamp images (teal rubber even!) and products, they hail from Maryland traveling to the different shows throughout the year.

I’ve gotten the wonderful opportunity to work with Joe and Kathy, one that I really appreciate! The card below is one of many to come I’m sure! The images are beachy and completely coastal. Anyone who lives on the coast or visits on vacation or just plain loves to stamp seaside images, these are for you. I love stamps like this and am sure that I’ll come up with all kinds of ways to use them. You can visit their site or blog to get ideas too! My card is featured on their blog (thanks Joe!) and the stamps that I used are ON SALE for a limited time!
