Stamping Kit for September

I am once again offering Stamping Kits.  The cost of the kit is $35.00 and includes shipping.  To purchase the kits or the monthly specials available to those who order Stamping Kits, you will need to contact me.

What is a Stamping Kit? Well, a Stamping Kit is a kit I put together to help inspire you to create wonderful projects. The projects could be cards, gifts, or home decor items. Each month will feature a different stamp set. 

What will I get for my $35.00? You will get a Clear Mount stamp set* (value 14.95 - 18.95) and enough materials (ink, punches, adhesives, and additional stamps not included) to complete the projects for the month. Your material will already be cut and/or scored for you. No measuring required on your part.  I will also be posting videos on YouTube to assist in assembling your projects as well as emailing you a pdf showing step by step how to assemble the projects.

I will also be offering specials for my Stamping Kit members each month. These specials will only be available for those who purchase my Stamping Kits that month. Specials will change each month.

Each month is a separate purchase and there are no minimums. You will have to order directly from me to get the special offers. You can email me at stampbyrhonda@gmail.com or message me on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/StampByRhonda to purchase your Stamping Kit.

*If you would prefer Wood Mounted stamp sets, there will be an additional charge due to the cost.

The stamp set for the September Stamping Kit is going to be Happy Day.

 
I will be offering this Stamping Kit until September 15th.  I am offering a 10% discount on ink pads this month to those who purchase the Stamping Kit.

Ghosting

I know, you were probably expecting a Halloween card.  Ghosting is a stamping technique.  This effect is when you stamp your image on Whisper White cardstock with Whisper White craft ink.  Then you use your brayer to roll ink over the image.  The craft ink keeps the paper from absorbing the ink and the color shows up in a lighter tone.  I used Primrose Petals on this card.  I then layered it onto Whisper White.  The card base is Blushing Bride.  I added two Pearl Basic Jewels.  Then I stamped Happy Birthday in Stazon Black. The stamp set used was From My Heart.

Late Night Stampers Fall 2013 Treasure Hunt Update

I have updated the list of participants in the Treasure Hunt.  Stop by and check out their blogs and get the clues.  Some of the participants are offering drawings for prizes.

Don't forget to check out what I am offering.

I am offering a drawing for a free NIP RETIRED stamp set of my choice for anyone in the US who becomes a follower of my blog.  Due to Stampin' Up! rules I can not offer products to those of you in other countries.  I have thought about that rule a bit and have decided to amend my drawing.  I will still offer the stamp set to the US winner of my drawing, but I will add something just in case the winner is from a different country.  I will offer a very special hand crafted gift.  If the prize winner is from the US, you can opt to receive the set or the hand crafted gift.  In addition to the follower prize, I will also make two additional very special hand crafted gifts. One will go to someone who leaves a comment and one will go to one of my viewers who visits my Stampin' Up! website and fills out their contact information  My Stampin' Up! http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/rhondaprice/

Seasonal Sayings Christmas Card

Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler, so simple yet so beautiful.  I love the way this one turned out.  I was wanting something very simple and clean for this card.  The sentiment has so much going on with it.  I used some of the Seasons of Style DSP Stack to add some interest to the background.  A touch of Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of bling finishes it off.  Some Stampin' Dimensionals were added to give it some pop.

August Swap Cards

Once again, this month I entered into a swap on Facebook.  This was the second month I joined this one.  In this swap, you are assigned a swap partner.  This way you only have to make one card to send.  The twist with it is there is a sweepstakes winner for every swap.  There is no theme to the sweepstakes card.   Yes, this actually means two cards are sent, but it's not like the one I send out 12 cards.  The object of this swap is to use Stampin' Up! products on your cards.  If you don't have a lot of Stampin' Up! products you can use products from other companies.  Everything I used is from Stampin' Up!

The Theme for August was KIDS.  Anything about or for kids.  I thought this cute lion card would be perfect.  I used the Floral Frames Framelits to make his mane.  The larger one is actually the card base.  I used some circle punches for the face and an oval punch for the feet.  I just love the way he turned out.

 For the sweepstakes winner, I used my Flower Shop Bundle to make the flowers.  I embossed my card front with a retired embossing folder and sponged over it with Old Olive ink to look like vines.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners Stamp set and cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits set.

Seasonal Sayings Stamp Set

I was just sitting here thinking about another idea for yet another Christmas card design.  Then it hit me, I have actually been designing a set of cards around one stamp set lately, Seasonal Sayings.  I have joined two card swaps over on Facebook.  One was completed this month (August) and the other isn't due until September 15th.  As most Stampin' Up! fans know, they retired almost every stamp set having to do with holidays in the new 2013 - 2014 Catalog.  This meant for my fall and winter holiday cards I would have to purchase new stuff from the Holiday Catalog to swap with current supplies.  I did purchase a couple of Christmas/Winter things, but the funds are tight right now and I just couldn't stretch it out far enough to include the fall stuff yet.  Well, I wanted to join in all the great swaps going on.  I sat and searched through the stamp sets I have for the ones that did not retire.  Luckily for me, I have quite a few that stayed current.  As I was looking, Seasonal Sayings caught my eye.  It is still current!  For the first swap it was Halloween.  Seasonal Saying has a "Happy Halloween" sentiment.  I had purchased some of the new designer series paper when it was on sale and some of the Venetian Romance seemed close enough to use.  I had the Chevron embossing folder.  I had a design.

Now there is a Fall/Thanksgiving swap coming up.  I went back to Seasonal Sayings and used the "Thanks Is For Giving" sentiment.  I paired it with my Autumn Accents Bigz Die and my Square Lattice embossing folder and I loved it.

Now I am looking at this set again and thinking about the Christmas stamp and Celebrate! and Love You.  I could create a Christmas card with this.  Celebrate! could be a birthday or New Years card.  Love You could be an anniversary or Valentines' Day card.  I can create 5 more cards in this series.  So many possibilities with this set.  Keep an eye out.  I now have a plan for when I walk into my craft room.  I want to finish this series of cards.
