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

My ATC (Artist Trading Card) Club just met over the weekend. It was a great time! I did unfortunately wait until the last minute to make my ATC’s. The usual suspects for delaying – work, fighting a sinus infection, other commitments, yada yada yada. Oh, Stampfest was in there too.

ATC’s are 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces of art. Try them sometime, they’re addicting!!

BUT, I did successfully complete them! I like one of them a lot and the other, so-s0. Oh well, that’s how it goes right?

We decided on the rest of our themes for the year – love that! Now I can do them as I have time or supplies. We meet in April next, so I’ll have a couple months to work on 2 batches. Should be able to do that!

Anyway, here are the gems! February’s theme was “Famous Couples” and March was “Recycle”.

BasicGrey patterned paper

Ranger Distress inks
Trim and paper rose from Paper Niche LSS

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!

Supplies:
Prism cardstock
Around the Block patterned paper
Cat’s Pajamas rubber stamps
Ranger embossing ink
