Stamping with Gail

RV Crafting!

You may already know this, but my goal is to move into an RV and travel around the country, sharing my love of crafting.  There is a lot to be done before I can get there, and one of the most important things is tro try it out first to see if I would actually like the lifestyle.

So for Thanksgiving, I visited my good friend Sharon and her husband, Dennis, and their dog, Buddy while they were camping about an hour away.  The Thanksiving dinner was a group affair with about 300 in attendance.  I didn't get any photos, though, because I was too busy eating!

This Christmas decoration really caught my eye - how cool is that!

Sharon and I went down to the Saloon and worked on some Christmas ornaments; I wanted to see if the campers there would have an interest in what I had to offer.  There really was some interest, but it was hard to compete against the Cowboys and the Raiders.  We did get a bunch of ornaments made, though!

If you are a member of my Virtual Stamping Club, then you will learn how to make these sweet ornaments in the December club videos.  If you are not a member, yet, sign up!  Here's HOW.

What are Pocket Cards?

So, I was looking over the Holiday Sale that Stampin' Up! has ongoing and I noticed some Digital bundles at 40% off.  I love My Digital Studio, but I have yet to make a scrapbook with it!  I use it for elements for my cards, and flyers, and gift certificates, etc.  At just $19.95, MDS is the perfect addition to your crafting supplies.

So, one of these bundles is the Digital Pocket Cards Bundle, which includes all of these:

• Happy Things Pocket Cards
• Rise & Shine Pocket Cards
• This Makes Me Happy Pocket Cards
• Chillin Out Pocket Cards
• Simply Life Photo Templates

Separately, these would be $31.95, but during the Holiday Sale, they are only $19.05!  And this is what you get:

That's a LOT of content!!

So, what is a pocket card, anyway?  Pocket cards are small, stand-a-lone projects that can be inserted into scrapooking divided pages (like 132544) OR inside a pocket on a card OR as a tuck-in surprise, such as a card inserted into someone's lunch bag.

OR.... why not print some pocket cards and LAYER them onto a card?  So easy!

I'm ordering this bundle today - I think you should, too!  If you don't already own My Digital Studio, give it a shot; it's only $19.95 OR you can try it FREE for a month. 

Check it out (and yes, there is a second bundle on sale!):

• My Digital Studio Free Trial (130910): Free
• My Digital Studio Download (130646): $19.95
• My Digital Studio on CD (130647): $19.95
• Digital Pocket Cards Bundle (136550): $31.95  $19.05
• Digital Stamp Brush Sets Bundle (136551): $40.65  $24.39
  

 

 

Thumping Technique!

My friend and stamping buddy made this gorgeous card using a really fun technique: Thumping!  In fact, a fellow demonstrator (and one of Stampin' Up!'s few male demonstrators), Kevein T, showed me this technique many years ago.  I still call him "Thumper"!

To create this look, first ink up the butterfly with Pool Party.  Then take a Marina Mist marker and "thump" it all over (lay it down on the brush side rather than using the point).  Repeat with a Tempting Turquoise marker.  Then stamp the image on Whisper White paper.  Beautiful!!

Our Many Marvelous Markers are on sale today - a perfect opportunity to get ALL 40 in a handy case!

Check out our Holiday Sale on my Stampin' Up! Website!!
