Hugs, Suzanne

P.S. It's on its way! Sorry it didn't make it to you in time!

A Faithful Friend

Here is a card created with one of our brand new stamps.  

And here is how to make it! Supplies are listed below.

Instructions:

1. Cut Aegean cardstock 12"x6.5" and fold in half to create a 6"x6.5" cardbase. Cut peach coloured paper to 5.5"x6" and round the corners.
2. Adapt digital cutting file so the opening is oval and measures 3" high. Cut from patterned paper. Cut a background piece without the leaf motif from Aegean cardstock.  Mount patterned paper on top so it only shows through the leaf motifs.
3. Stamp Those Who Find a Faithful Friend using VersaMagic Jumbo Java centered on the previously cut peachy patterned paper.
4. Create bow using Becca's Bow Maker. Attach to oval frame as shown.  Adhere house embellishment to frame as shown.
5. Die cut Spellbinders Fancy Tag from patterned paper, cut in half and wrap around frame. Adhere in the front with a Pop Dot and in the back with a Glue Dot.  Attach a pearl embellishment as show.
6. Adhere oval frame to stamped patterned paper with Pop Dots.

Supplies:
Cutting File: Quietfire Always
VersaMagic: Jumbo Java
Cardstock: Core'dinations Aegean

Being Thankful - for You

This set is perfect stamp set to mix and match - or use them all at once!  Since Thanksgiving is family and friends and home, I added a little house embellishment with the pumpkins!  Love this patterned paper by Bo Bunny.  I hope helps you create your own quick and easy cards.
Thanks for visiting! Suzanne




 Instructions:

1. Cut natural cardstock to 10"x7" and fold in half to make a 7"x5" tent card.
2. Cut a pumpkin patterned paper strip to 5.5" x 1.5" and mat with brown cardstock cut 1/8" larger around. Mount this strip on orange patterned paper measuring 6"x2" with Pop Dots.
3. Cut 1.25" square from brown cardstock. Sponge house embellishment with frayed burlap and attach it to brown square using Micro Glue Dots.  Mount to center of patterned paper strip with Pop Dots.
4. Lightly pencil a baseline 1.25" from the top fold and 1/2" from the side of the card. Stamp Quietfire Being Thankful along that line with the help of a stamp positioner using VersaMagic Pumpkin Spice.  Lightly pencil another line 1" from the bottom of the card and finishing approximately3/4" from the edge and stamp For You using VersaMagicTea Leaves as shown in the example.
5. Adhere the patterned paper strip with house embellishment centered between the stamped lines.

Sometimes, Said Pooh

Every time I get an order for this stamp, I say "Sometimes, said Pooh" as though I'm reading it to a little person.  Ahem, I guess you have to be here....

I took some photos of our kitty at the top of the stairs a few days before he died and used one to create an image which I cut with my Silhouette Cameo digital cutter.  I used the Lincoln paper because it's made from many of the same colours as kitty was.

It's a very quiet house today.

This card is for our vet, Dr. Bradford Bradbury (oops!) at Van Isle Veterinary Hospital, who took over Tiger's care while Dr. McLean is on maternity leave (and looks way to young to be even a high school graduate). But she said all the right things when we needed to hear them most. I can't thank her enough for that.

Card Details: The VersaFine colour was Smokey Gray
{August 23, 2013 update:  This kitty shape is now available as a digital die cut here.}

Here are the thumbnail links to the products.

Inspiration from our Talented Customers!

Every once in a while, I get lucky enough to be sent photos of artwork which customers have created using the Quietfire rubber stamps.

This beauty is from Hellen E. in Australia.  Hellen doesn't have a blog, so I'm very happy she send this to me!

And from Carole At Carole's Soulfelt Creations (I had trouble viewing her blog using IE - but it's perfect with FireFox!)

but Carole says one of her favourites is here. I'm so glad I don't have to make a choice - they're all wonderful!

 

I've been meaning to share this one for a while. Jeneen is the Queen of ATCs and she created and gave me this adorable one. This is my little black fellow, who takes great interest in assisting with anything related to Waxed Linen thread.  I swear he can hear it coming off the spool from a dead sleep at the other end of the house. *sigh*  I think three wraps around the table is his current record.   Needless to say, he and Jeneen have a interesting relationship.....  He is one happy kitty when she visits!

Thank you all for sharing your work!
To Everyone:
