FLICKs for August

This 'n' That

27 Sep

DSCN2736 copy 

How is it the main thing you go to the grocery store to get is the very thing you forget to get until you get home and are putting the groceries away. That is what happened today, and I was NOT going back to the store.  Sunday is not the day to get groceries, everyone was there…my gosh, the lines were terrible. 

Tomorrow is my last round of Stamp a Stack of Christmas cards, and after class I have tons of errands to run for my upcoming trip to my BFF Tracy's in PA, so hopefully the girls will get done in time.  Today everyone got done in great time, so I am sure it will the same tomorrow.

I wanted to share the FLICKs (First Level Incentive Card Kits) card for August sales, I got these done later then I like to because I was at Founder's and when I got back home I needed to cut paper for classes, so I feel good they are done and hope the girls like them. They are off in the mail tomorrow.

I cased, and changed just a bit, a swap I got from my friend Robin Merriman, she does awesome stuff. Thanks Robin!!  What I did was to get the look of almost like pottery or something on the cardstock is I first inked up the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder with Crumb Cake Classic ink. Then you put your cardstock in the folder and run it through the Big Shot like normal and when it comes out it looks like this.

 So cool eh? Doesn't it look like a piece of pottery or a porcelain plate or something? Very vintagey, and that is totally in.

Stamp Set: Artistic Etchings, Elizabeth

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler

Ink: Basic Black, Crumb Cake

Misc: Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, brayer, Basic Black 1/8" taffeta ribbon 

So did you watch Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters? Tonight was the start of the new season.  They both look good. OMG! Carlos looks amazing he has lost a lot of weight…Hubba! Hubba!! I wondered how they would handle Rob Lowe leaving the Brothers and Sisters show so I think they did a good job of what they did.  I sure hope the show he went to is successful, would hate to see him leave and then the other show is a flop. Remember that red haired guy that left that cop show years ago and didn't his career go downhill for a few years? Now he is on Miami CSI or something.  Makes you wonder if it is their decision or like their manager…don't know why I am even wondering? ha!

Well as usual I am gonna say night night and try to get to bed before midnight!

Have a great Monday and thanks for stopping in!

    Yeah the red haired guy – David Caruso – he left NYPD Blue cause he was a whiny jerk. Then he is now on CSI Miamia – and he plays Horatio – and I just want to take his sunglasses and place them where the sun don't shine – I cannot stand him – he's a crappy actor. I have to get this set – it's very nice – I saw some nice samples with it at Regionals as well.
    Luv ya

    I never would have thought of using Kraft, I mean Crumb Cake for that. I love using that technique but the way you used it really makes it look pretty special. I'll be trying it and thanks for sharing this idea with us. Have you watched any of the new shows that are out yet? Try The Event… kind of like Lost, Flash Forward type of thing. I think you would like it since we kind of llike some of the same things. Have a great Monday.

    This is GORGEOUS!!!! I LOVE making Vintage looking cards! How did you get the ink inside the "open" spaces of the card, and not on the raised images? I can do the raised part, but I can't figure out how you did this so beautifully!! Please let me know….I'd LOVE to do something similar to this on some of my cards!

    Hugs!

    Ingenious to use the Elizabeth stamp as a flourish!

    Beautiful card. I love the inked embossing folder technique. I've used it on some of the folders i have but now I think I need to get the one you used. I guess I better add it to my wish list.
    Thanks for sharing!!

    So what part of PA will you be in? I'm down in Baltimore and would love to say hi if you are a bit north of me. I love reading your blog and enjoyed your ramblings about Founder's Circle.

    I really like this card and the technique. Can't seem to master it though. Would you consider giving us a little tutorial?

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
