STAMP-BY-STEP GUEST DESIGNER

I want to introduce

Stamp-By-Step

...an online store who carries a variety of paper crafting products and tools. They even have a "Classifieds" section where you can purchase "used" products at very low prices too. In their "Clearance" section you will find items for pennies...literally...just have to keep looking back ;).
Some paper lines they carry are Graphic 45, October Afternoon, 7 Gypsies, Basic Grey. They also carry a variety of stamps, inks, embossing powders, embellishments, cardstock and much more. You must check them out...I find the prices are very-very reasonable. I am always looking where to save a penny or two and where I get an excellent customer service.

AND............

 I am super excited and very honored to be their 
Guest Designer 
for this month of December. 

 Stamp-By-Step also will be sponsoring a December Giveaway for one lucky follower of this blog of mine. You will get a $10.00 certificate with free shipping. The free shipping is only for the $10 order.

But, life is good and I am very Thankful for the opportunity to get to know them and very Thankful to them for sponsoring a giveaway for me to give to you.

Love you all and...
if I was you I would start looking at their store just in case you get to be that lucky
FOLLOWER
of this blog...

As a their December Guest Designer I needed to make 6 projects for their shop and that is what I had been working on and not around much. I won't go onto descriptions and supplies because as always I do not have all that info  :). I used some of their supplies and some of mine. I still have to make 2 more projects and I will do that tomorrow. In the meantime...take a look at some of the Basic Grey gorgeous Christmas papers I used. the "Season's Greetings" cling stamp is from Stampendous.

BOO EASEL CARD FOR MADE BY MOMO TUESDAY CHALLENGE

Thanks to Momo!!!

for the easy to follow directions on the cards she demoed in her first class on the Ustream Monday night.

This is momo's blog below in case you want to visit her:

I made my first Easel Card yesterday to enter it in Momo's Tuesday Challenges. This week theme ""is to use Black and White, and then you can pick 1 other color of your choice"". 

I chose red as my complimentary color.

My first Easel Card

4.25 inch

 you can also find videos on you tube to make this card and on many other blogs too, just google "easel card'.

My ghost and my Boo! phrase are from Happy Hauntings. The ghost was cut at 3.75 inch and the phrase and its shadow at one inch. I used foam tape for dimension on the ghost. The bats on the red background are stamped. The nice checker board paper is from Me & My Big Ideas. I digged out the R.I.P. from a K&CO die cuts Halloween bag and I traced the letters with a red glitter marker because they were orange in color. I did not need orange but red. :)

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the tombstones border and add a strip of white AC cs behind it to make stand out better. The half moon is a circle altered into a crescent moon. I also adhered one of my eyes next to the phrase to keep watching you, lmbo.

This easel card is not hard at all to make, actually is really easy.

try it and let me see what you come up with.

Thanks for Visiting!

Love you all.
