Several more cards...

1. First card was fun to make and loved how it turned out.

2. Close up of 3-D butterfly.

3. A stand up shaker card with a bunch of glitter to shake around.

4. I wanted to make a card that stood up by itself without being the normal card.

5. Card for an upcoming wedding.

Some card creations...

1. Stampscapes stamps...

2. Card for my Kindergarten teacher.

3. Fan card to make a friend smile.

4. This card was a hit! Someone had to have a colonoscopy done and to lighten the
mood after, I made this...

5. Inside of #4 card was printed out in Word.

Wine charm plaque & painted canvas

1. Pretty large canvas painted in some teals and brown stripes for our spare bedroom/tv room. I needed something large but not pricey. I used paint I had for the room already but darkened the teal up a little using some brown I already owned.

2. & 3. Made this wine charm holder from scratch for some friends who enjoy hosting parties! I did a hand drawn sketch of a wine bottle. Traced it onto the wood. Used my jig saw and cut it out, sanded it, then painted it. Attached small pretty nails to the front and a hanger bar on the back.

4. Purchased all of the charms but created them onto hoop earrings along with beads. These fit around the stem of a wineglass -- so each person at the party will know which wine glass belong to them. No guessing "is that my wine glass?"

All of the charms are silver and store bought. There are a couple that I made using rubber stamps I had. I stamped them on shrink plastic and then attached them as charms. :)

More cards...

1. Get well card to a friend's husband who had some issues involving a catheter.
(He loved it.) The puddle of pee had some Crystal Laquer over it.

2. Get well card to my cousin-in-law.

3. Thinking of you piano card to a dear friend who plays piano beautifully.

4. Fairy card. I used ultra fine glitter on her wings. Very pretty.

5. House warming card to a couple of friends. Their home is done in the colors on the card & I did a scrapbook of their home being built from start to finish. The scrapbook cover was also in the same burnt orange tones.

Cards

1. Butterfly card is so pretty IRL. The butterfly was stamped and embossed twice... Colored both then cut out the butterfly on one and attached it so
it's 3-D.

2. Thank "shoe" card for my mom...

3. The computer card was for someone who had just gotten a new pc. The screen had a piece of accetate over it so it really looked like glass.

4. & 5. Thank you card. I loved this Bazil paper I used.

Some more Trash to Treasures

This was another slider cigar box and I cut it with my jig saw, sanded it down, painted it and then used the lid to create dividers. I love how it turned out and is quite functional.

Trash to Treasure...

This was a slider cigar box and I turned it into a coffee filter box. I use it every single morning!

I decopaged layers and layers of yellow tissue paper... must have 10 layers on there.

The handle and the bun feet are made from Sculpey clay and are quite functional.

And a 12x12 inch concrete stepping stone I made from a mould... some concrete mix and some tile I broke up to for a letter "D" for our last name.

Some cards to share...

Different styles today...

I made one card for my dad's upcoming birthday. I love these stamps (I have 4 or 5 of them). I stamped it once on water color paper and once on a tan cs. I cut out the center, colored it all and then layered the tan cs over the stamped image from the water color paper. Looks like a piece of art IRL (in real life).




Then I made a birthday card for a friend in England... The cranes are embossed with clear EP. Everything else is just stamped, except the "land" which I use a post it note to border off the bottom right hand corner, then pounced on some tan inks. The water and sky are stippled. Inside I printed out "Happy Birthday, Florida Style."



The third card, is yet another birthday card, this time for a little girl who is turning two years old! The balloons are from my Sizzix die, the "2" is a stamp cut out from chipboard, then put on 5 coats of clear EP. Adhered it with pop dots to make it stand out and tied the balloon ribbons to it. The bottom left decorative photo corner is a new die I bought today. I like how the balloons are off the top of the card. I had to do it that way or else my overall card would have been huge.

A brand new year...

Rubber Stamps for Sale

UPDATE: Link for stamps has been removed...

Most of the stamps have been sold and those that didn't sell are now grouped up and will be put on Ebay very soon... User ID for Ebay is nrsnit.

Check back real soon... I hope to upload by 2-8-09


All measurements are approximate.

With wood mounted stamps: All measurements are of the wood and the rubber
stamp may or may not actually be smaller in size.

With the UM (unmounted) stamps: All measurements are approximate and are of
the rubber itself.

With the UM stamps: I will try to identify what type of backing is used --
EZ Mount, Hook and Loop (velcro/Halo) I will try to identify what type

All information is the best of my knowledge and said in good faith. Please
feel free to ask questions -- use the # on the stamp (which is also ABOVE the
photo) so I can know which ones you are referring to.

I will include in the description:

1. the measurements of each stamp,
2. the stamp company (if known),
3. S = Stained (as in the rubber and/or the wood)
4. C = Clean (as in never inked before / new)

5. Additional information such as: Self mounted (Sondra mounted these on
wood herself) and/or if she put her initials (SL) or her name -- such as first
initial and last name or first and last name. (Her last name was only 4
letters.)

All prices do not include shipping. I will ship to anywhere. Inside the
USA, if you purchase multiple stamps, if it would be cheaper to ship them in a
"one price regardless of the weight" box, I can do that. For International,
I can check with my post office if there would be a cheaper way as well.
Otherwise, they will come in either a bubble envelope or small box.

NOTE: I Need your full address to find out postage! If in the USA: Do not
forget the zip code.

I will ship on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Delivery Confirmation is required on
anything I ship out (cost will be 75cents.) Insurance is up to you and you
must let me know if you desire it. If you don't say, I'll assume you don't
want it.

Payments accepted: Cash, check (will wait until cleared), or Paypal -
savings account, checking account, or credit card.

I am selling these stamps for my friend's husband. All money from the sale
of the stamps will be sent to Sondra's husband when I am done selling them.
Anything that does not sell as individual will get grouped at the end and put
on Ebay in a lot. This may be in a couple of weeks or a month...

PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME, AS THERE MAY BE MANY EMAILS TO GET TO. Stamps
will be first come, first served -- from the date and time stamp on the emails.

Sondra was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a wonderful friend and a
fabulous artist. She loved to make handmade cards and RAK people. She loved
putting a smile on someone's face.

If you want to see the photos in order starting at #1, go to the last page
first. If you want to view from the end to the beginning, then start at page
1. :)

See the link below -- go thru all the photos and then send me the list of
the ones you wish along with your complete address. Once I verify they are
available or verify which ones are available that you've requested, I will email
you back with total + shipping, if you're not local to me. If you are
around the Spring Hill, FL, 34608 area and wish to pick up, please advise me. ***
I will not be able to email postage until the beginning of next week, as I
am celebrating the holidays this week. ***

Thank you,
Kim

Christmas lights!

My husband has been on my case
to get the Christmas lights up
for a couple of weeks now, as he
knows I do like to decorate...

But I have been so busy with all
of the other holiday stuff, there
doesn't seem to be enough time in
the day!

They are up now, and for some reason
he will not talk to me.

Mean People Suck...

To all those mean people out there (and you know who you are), this pin is dedicated to you...

Chipboard letters with red and gold ink directly to the letters, then edged the sides in a gold paint pen. Glued together with YES glue and then added red and gold Stickles. A pin back and there you have it.

Simple yet stated: Mean People Suck!!!

And a few more cards...

1st card: Hi Sweetie card - simple and fun

2nd card: close up as I cut out one candy and attached with pop dot and added Crystal Laquer.

3rd card: Just to bug you card -- also simple and fun

4th card: Card to de's MIL when she was sick. The hummingbird turned out fabulous. Love, love, love this card.

5th card: Close up -- stamped it once on the card front and once on scrap cs. Painted with Radient Pearls then trimmed out and attached with tiny pop dots. Just stunning IRL.

Just a few cards...

1st card: pink ribbon folded over with Cuttlebug hearts dry embossed

2nd card: scrapbook paper, glue pen and fine glitter. Cut out the shapes, added a silver brad for the eye and it's stunning IRL (in real life).

3rd card: Lord Help me saying stamped over Alcohol Inks background. (I love the stamped saying!).

4th card: Close up and side view of the self standing card. I played with this for a bit until I got it to lean how I wanted and then kept a template for the future.

Below is a Thanksgiving card I had done... I crack up every time I use these stamps together. I hope your day has had many blessings.
