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.

Supplies:
BasicGrey Nook & Pantry patterned paper, brads and stamps
P K Glitz Ritzy Ditzy Glitz, Sticky Tape, embossing powder and sketch
Ranger embossing ink

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!

Supplies:
P K Glitz Amethyst E P Max
Ranger embossing ink
Poppy Hill Designs, Dazzling Reflections Kaleidoscope software
My Stamp Box, Straightforward set
Corner Punch
Cardstock

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!

Ok, I know that’s pretty dang weird, but surprisingly it was the theme for a card swap on Rubber Stamp Chat in February! It was harmless fun and got me to use a dog stamp that I had in my stash for years. It was an opportunity to use this week’s sketch from Card Positioning Systems too!
