Life’s Adventures | The Maui Stamper

Every year about this time I get together with Crystal and we plan a Christmas Extravaganza. This year we’re doing it a little differently – it will be Open House style, so you can come when you’re able and leave when you must. You can choose to make one project, all the projects, or anything in between. We’re calling it Christmas a la Carte and it’s planned for Saturday, November 8.

You need to reserve and pay for your choices by Wednesday, October 22. The event will be held at the Maui Masonic Lodge, and you’ll need to BYO adhesive for the basic assembly. Let me know if you would like a fresh Tombo or SNAIL for your crafting pleasure, and I’ll add it to your class fee and have it waiting for you on the 8th.

Cheryl is helping with this too – I promise it will be a lot of fun!

Payment is by check or Paypal – please let me know which method you prefer when you sign up. Can’t wait to craft with you!

This is the last swap I made for Inspire.Create.Share, our 2014 Convention:

Stamps: Life’s Adventures (Hostess), And Many More
Color Palette: Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Basic Black
Accessories: Fringe Scissors, Glimmer paper, Stampin’ Write markers, Zig Zag TIEF, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Typeset DSP, Itty Bitty Accents punch pack

I used markers to get the look I wanted for the stamped image. I hand-colored the stamp before making my impression, then went back and added the awning and the door.

This is a matchbook style card. Cut your card stock to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score at 3/4″ and 6″. Your finished card will be 4 1/4″ by 5 1/4″ but trust me, no one is going to notice the difference 🙂

I love the shape of this little heart from the new Itty Bitty Accents Punch pack! Much more contemporary than the traditional heart.

I’m also a little bit obsessed with the new Typeset DSP. I was in serious mourning when First Editions Newsprint wasn’t continued into this catalog, but I’m relieved and delighted with this new edition! Maps. Print. Design Elements. There are loads of options, and it’s really lightweight so it is going to crumple up just beautifully.
