Simply She Stamps...: love & affection

Have to say... that my Affectionately Yours class was a success! I hope those ladies who attended will agree with me;) This is another of our cards we created. It started with a "card map" which used punched hexagons of patterned paper...I swapped in images from the Love & Affection stamp set. And it was easy to pick the colors to use...the ones featured in the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (a.k.a. DSP). See below for the colors we used.

On the card base front I trimmed off a 1/2" from the bottom. On the inside of the card, I adhered a 3/4" strip of the DSP at the bottom. The Whisper White layer measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" so that's how you get the little strip of Cucumber Crush at the top of the card.

Almost there!

I can't even remember how long it's been since I had to move out of my stamp room due to a deteriorating ceiling...which was later discovered to be due to a roof leak, not a leaky pipe or vent as we first thought. It HAS to be over a year since I've held stamp camp and clubs in my stamp room. And with my supplies in two different locations, I've been getting my exercise going back and forth from stamp room to office or kitchen table...not very efficient though!

Roof shingles attached. Ceiling patched and painted...yes, the WHOLE ceiling had to be painted...what a pain in the neck...literally:) Walls painted...I finished the paint touch up on the walls shown above this morning. I must say, the paint blended so nicely that you can't even tell where I had to touch up...yay! Just need to finish up cleaning up the dust, supplies, and garbage and I'll be moving back in by tomorrow!

Join me in "re-christening" the Stamp Room on July 20th with my Affectionately Yours class. You'll create six cards (two of three different designs) and a 3D item using the Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper and coordinating stamp set and accessories...including on-trend copper embossing powder and copper thread. Registration deadline is July 11. Class fee of $40 includes your own pack of DSP and Love & Affection stamp set.
