Move over Martha w/ Burger

The apron was stamped on red checked card stock and cut out.  The apron was stamped again on red card stock. When I cut out straps, I cut big tab like ends so I had something to glue to the back of the apron.  The saying was stamped right on the apron.  The hamburger was stamped and colored with Copic.  The brown card stock behind the hamburger was cut with Spellbinders.

Let's Ketch-up

I am sorry the card is a little wrinkled, there was a small boy in the store that liked the card...

The green background was embossed with the Cuttlebug folder as well as the yellow background behind the ketchup.  The white was punched out with Martha Stewart punches, as you can see I only did the corners and the bottom and top. The ketchup bottle was colored with Copic markers.

Currie's Owl charm Picture

Take all the guts out of the frame.  She used eye hooks from the hardware store and screwed them into the edge of the frame where the glass used to be.  String copper wire and beads back and forth.

Now for the owl charm...

The charm it self is made by Keepsake, it's one of their pendant.  Cut a circle of paper to fit in the charm center.   Stamp Owl in Tree on the circle, color.  Glue circle into charm.  She stamped the owl on scrap paper too, color and cut out only the face, glued to owl on circle.  She used Flower Soft for leaves on the tree branch.  She added rhinestones for accent.  After all is dry, cover with Mod Podge.  It will take quite a while for the charm to dry.  Then add a few accents charms to the copper strings with jump rings (Tim Holtz).  Idea-ology Fragments were put over stamped images and also added.

I think she did a really great job with this and it is a beautiful addition to our store in Janesville, WI.

Flower Necklace

Currie got the charm from Hobby Lobby.  First she cut out the circle of paper to fit inside the charm.  This way she would know how much space she had to work with.  From there the rest was pretty easy...stamp, color and pearl.  She glued the completed circle in the charm and covered it with Mod Podge.  She stamped with Memento and Colored with Copic markers.

We had our 'in store' anniversary last month and I wore it for good luck since I feel very lucky to have met Currie through the store.

Side note: our 'on line' anniversary is next month (July) and we will be offering free stamps with orders, check out our 'on line' store email next month.

Courage To Grow

I loved that Currie put this saying with this image.  It can mean so many things in different ways.

She used Copic markers for shading and the Tim Holtz Distress Ink for aging.  She cut out the shape from the Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge. The mirror is covered in Glossy Accents.

I have to share the inside of the card also.

All of these stamps can be found at Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps.
