Gate Fold Card

The Scor-pal is probably one of the best investments I've made in my stamping supplies. It really takes the "guess work" out of getting the folds in the right spot for gate fold cards or tri-fold brochures. PLUS, you can use it to make a grid design on plain card stock to get it some texture.

This is one of the gate fold cards I made for a Fun Shop.

All TAC stamps & products used here.

Getting Ready for Christmas...

I love Christmas. (Don't you?)

Here is a card I've been demonstrating at my Fun Shops. The designer paper is from the Rustic Chic collection with the TAC stamp Joy embossed in silver. Simple with a little "wow factor".

I showed this technique to some ladies who are new to stamping and they got sooo excited about the embossing - it was a BLAST!

Wow!

I knew it had been awhile since I'd posted last, but when I got an email from my sister asking if everything was okay, I didn't realize how long it had been....

sorry - didn't mean to alarm anyone!

All is well here in the wilds of Upstate NY - as a friend of mine likes to say "I lead a rich and full life". It seems like it just keeps getting richer and fuller all the time. I have my day job at the office; one day a week I help ladies play "dress up" at CJ Banks (we are getting ready to have our Friends & Family sale - if you are local, see me to get a coupon for the event); I'm now an active demonstrator for The Angel Company (which means I get to show people how to make cool stuff out of card stock); my son is in the "where am I going to go to college?" mode plus his social life has blossomed to a a near-social butterfly status - which takes me along for the ride (literally) because he is still driving on his learner's permit; oh, and let's not forget my church activities and Zumba.

Got to get a move on - going into the office a little early today, so I can cut out for 45 minutes or so to consult with a gastro doc to schedule the ever popular colonoscopy for my 50th birthday present to myself. (***Yea Me!***)
