autumn

We're having the nicest Autumn here in Wisconsin. Last night, my daughter went to the mall with her friends and she wore shorts and a T-shirt. I know this weather won't last forever but I sure am enjoying every minute of it!

I was playing around with some quilt fabric and I made this pumpkin using the stamps from the Autumn Splendor StampTV and some of the Spellbinders Leaves dies.

It's very easy to make. All I did was cut a flat quarter into a circle. Then, I added a huge ball of stuffing in the center. Then, I grabbed two opposite sides and put in one stitch. I grabbed the other two opposite sides and put in one stitch. Then, I tucked everything else in. I wrapped it with twine to created the segments and decorated the top with die cut leaves and a tag.

I hope you are having a wonderful Autumn where you are too!

Hugs,

Gina K.

gratitude.

This month, I challenged the design team to create a project using their favorite backgroud technique from an episode of StampTV.

One of my new favorites is Distressed Stripes. I love this technique because it creates somewhat of a pattern but it's not too busy. It's great when you need a masculine background or, when you just need a simple backdrop for any kind of card project.

Here is my card from the StampTV episode that was featured a couple of weeks ago.

And here is the episode if you'd like to learn to how to do this technique: Distressed Stripes

Now, it's time to hop through the design team's blogs and see their favorite background techniques and the beautiful projects they've created!

starting over.

Sometimes you just need a fresh start.

Not because anything is really wrong. But you just need something new. I decided to move my blog here to blogger for a variety of reasons. I like how easy blogger is to use. And I like the look. It's easy to change. And change is good!

Please subscribe here to my new blog so you can stay up to date on everything from new products to coupon specials to what's going on behind the scenes.

New colors
We've changed the colors of our website and it just makes me happy. Who mixes orange and blue? Me. And I love it!

Pre-cut stamps.
We love them. Tom is busy working on many of our past sets so we will be adding more sets into the pre-cut department. We will keep you posted. Last I saw, both the new Autumn Splendor StampTV kit and the Lovely Labels 1 stamp set is now being packaged pre-cut.

My eye
It's doing well. My cough is almost gone which makes me happy because no coughing means less pressure and faster healing. I really feel blessed that it wasn't WAY worse and my field of vision wasn't disturbed. Even if it never gets any better than this, I can live with this. But I think I would die if I couldn't see to stamp anymore or if I couldn't see my beautiful girls grow up, swim, play lacrosse, ugh. I can't even think about it. I'm Very blessed.

And thanks to all of you. You have all been so kind and supportive. And very patient. I appreciate every single one of your comments on StampTV, Facebook, my blog and all of your emails and messages. And mostly your prayers. I know they helped big time!

I am exicted to get back to work on StampTV and in my stamp studio. :)


So bring it on! I'm ready!
Hugs,
Gina K.
