These Are A Few...

On Sunday, Cynthia shared some of her favorite craft dies and stamps from 'My Favorite Things"... making cards, tags, boxes and more from this very popular company which is well known for their fresh and fun products...

Everyone loved the Paris and French inspired designs...Ooh La La!


This strawberry box die makes the most adorable little container, perfect for filling with a tiny treat!


Cynthia demonstrated ways to use both the positive and negative parts of a border die...


Cute cupcake, daisy girl, and birthday clear stamps...




Debra was thrilled with her purchase!


Thanks for stopping by!

Simply Stampendous!

This past weekend, Michele and I enjoyed sharing some of our favorite new Stampendous stamps with you...all with a vintage feel to them...
Michele used these lovely ladies on her ATC cards, paired with some classic inspired papers from Kaiser Kraft and stencils from Crafter's Workshop...


We think that sweet kitty with glasses is pretty darn cute too!


The antique typewriter and time flies icons were also demo-ed and made into wonderful mini art pieces as only Michele can do!


The lovely little cameo makes the perfect ATC card...and it is so pretty embossed in silver...


More vintage card and tag ideas at Sunday's demo...




We all had fun learning about the new aged embossing powders, colored mica flaked, chunky glitters and color fragments...these add lots of sparkle, shine and depth to your projects!


Come on in and take a closer look, we'd love to see you!
Make Someone Happy!

Backgrounds and Blooms!

What a creative weekend we all enjoyed here at Stamp Your Heart Out...two really terrific demos and a class to get those creative juices flowing...lets get started...

On Saturday, Barb was back to show us how to create those fabulous backgrounds she is famous for...lots of inking, spraying, layering, masking and more...Barb shared all her techniques that gives your cards that extra WOW factor...




Barb gets you thinking about looking at your stamps in a new way...just a simple technique change can result in an entirely new look...


Stamps and stickers pair up beautifully...


Create unique backgrounds with Tattered Angels Sprays, rice, rubber bands and wet spaghetti!



Great ideas Barb...thanks!

In the morning these nice gals enjoyed a couple of hours of card making in the Memory Box..."What's In The Box" class...they got first pick of the new dies from Memory Box...lucky ladies... as these dies sold out in just a few hours after the class...(more will be arriving soon).




On Sunday we were treated to "A Year of Flowers" with Nancy...this demo featured the same titled book by the very talented Gina K and her own line of flower stamps...with spring papers from Best Creations...





This book gives detailed instructions and photos to show you how create really beautiful cards from very simple to multilayered...using Gina K. Designs matching 21 piece stamp set...


Aren't these cards just gorgeous?




Thanks Nancy!

Remember that all the cards from the demos and class are on display in the store...so come on in and take a closer look at them...

We Love Penny Black!

Saturday's demo featured these sweet and fun stamps from Penny Black...




Barbara draws a good crowd to watch her watercolor and embellish these adorable images...



Barb shares lots of techniques...remember coloring directly on stamps with markers? Add a spritz of water and you get a lovely watercolor effect...this works great on stamps with large areas of solid rubber...



A work in progress...almost done!



All these beautiful samples are on display in the store now...






These two were the crowd favorites...easy to see why!


Thanks for stopping by...
