I have spent nearly the entire day in my craft/computer room today. The wonderful reason is because our new carpet and linoleum are being installed. During all of this time, I have only managed to make one card.
The stamp I used is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps and was stamped with SU Chocolate Chip ink and VersaMark. I then heat embossed the design with clear embossing powder. The design was stamped on a piece of Papertrey Ink off white card stock and looked so plain. I happened to have a thin wood frame (I think you would call it chip board) that had the perfect cut out for the oval. The layer was put into a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then the wood frame was placed over top of the image. By doing that only the outer edges were embossed. I trimmed down the layer so that I could attach it to the front of a card base of SU Chocolate Chip card stock.
Ok, so you ask what else did you do with the rest of the day? I kept up with my emails, I worked on my mother's income tax information and I did some organizing..........with more organizing to do. I am trying very hard to go through some stamps etc that I know I'm not going to use or use any longer. I am so fortunate to be able to take items to a Stamp and Scrap sale the end of April. I just have to make room for some more new "stuff". :)
Not sure if I'm going to be able to get to my kitchen to make supper (or darn) so we may just have to go somewhere to grab a bite. Such a hardship.
Thanks for stopping by................hope you are having a great day.

Great masculine card, Vicki - perfect! I'm so happy for you that your carpet is in!!!
Very nice guy card!
I love this masculine card, Vicki! You do such beautiful CAS cards!
Perfect guy card, Vicki! I like the single color and the oval frame is perfect! I've always liked Northwoods stamps. When we still had Unique Expressions here in Branson I bought several over the years. Mmmmm... I bet if I look hard enough I will find some that haven't been used for awhile!
