Rubber Stamps for Sale

Hi All,
I'm having a hard time selling my stamps here locally, so I am going to box them up and sell them for an outrageous price. The boxes are the USPS flat rate box sized 11 x 8.5 x 8.5. They will be filled full, with 1/2 inch of cushion on top and bottom to protect the stamps. Each box will contain an assortment, unless specified. If I have enough of a certain brand, I will group by brand (i.e Hero Arts, Amuse, etc.) Each box will be priced at $30 and that includes the shipping ($8.95). Each box will be filled with QUALITY name brand stamps, the boxes come as is with no substitutions. I will post pictures soon. If you are interested, please email me at pattyandellie@gmail.com I will email pictures to those that are interested first. I accept money orders and paypal.

Guess What!

I took the plunge and signed up to be a Stampin' Up Demo tonight!!!!! I am so excited {even though none of my so called Friends stamp}. I see this as mostly feeding my bad habit. But if anyone wants to place an order, drop me a note and I'll share the best deals with ya'!!

Lots of goodies to share!

Lets start with this fantanstically cute card. I just cant tell you how much I LOVE this card. The original was created by the great Mary Jo Albright. I was having a lazy Sunday afternoon and was surfing SCS when I came upon this little number. I just had to recreate it! Isnt it the best? There was no template for this card, just cut a little here and there and create a shape of a house. I used red cardstock {DCWV} and distressed it with Barn Brown ink {Whispers}. I cut the red into little thin strips and just started layering for the boards. {And continue with the trim a little here and there..} I also used my corner rounder and medium circle punch {SU!}. The stamp set is Ruff Day {SU!}. Grass made from scrap sage CS {SU}. Dark Brown, Eggplant, and Cream CS from PaperZone. Foam dots from Dollar Tree.

-----------------

My beloved Papercrafts site is closing! I will miss all the hundreds of swaps that go on so much. I'm slowing preparing myself and switching over to swap on SCS. I made this card for a Newbie swap on that site. Stamped flower and Ink from SU! White CS from PaperZone. DS from Heidi Grace. Sheer Ribbon from CraftWarehouse. Jewel brad from Making Memories. Hope you like it!

-------------------

These two cuties I made for my last few remaining swaps on PCMag. The snowman is for a Holiday 3x3 card/tag hosted by Deb P. {I recently broke down and decided that I totally need the Nestabilites by Spellbinders and the Square and Rectangle sets I got first. If anyone is interested, Cut @ Home has the best deals on these.} 3x3 Deets: Snowman {SU!}, Nesties {Spellbinders}, DP {Around the Block}, Dec 25th {Studio G}, Ribbon {May Arts}, WC Markers {Whispers}. The second cutie is an Extra Postage Holder swap hosted by my good bloggin' friend Heidi. Her and Deb have some of the best swaps, and I can always be sure of qualitly work! Postage Deets: DP from Heidi Grace, Nesties {Spellbinders}, Hedge Hog {Penny Black}, Alpha Stamps {Hero Arts}, Ribbon {May Arts}, WC Markers {Whispers}, Button {Walmart}.

Yes, ladies and gentleman, your eyes aren't foolin' ya. My Stamp room probably has more stuff then your local Scrappin' Store. I found these awesome Closet Maid racks at Home Depot and knew they would be perfect for my ribbon spools! In these 3 beautiful columns of ribbon I have over 350 spools! Yes folks, thats not a type-o, THREE HUNDRED FIFTY. Thats TONS of storage for the price. Each 4 self rack is $15. Which may seem like alot, but after doing some investagating online- it was the cheapest way for me to go. Now I just need ideas on storing my NON-spooled ribbons....

Its been awhile huh?

Its been awhile since I've had time to actually sit down and craft. Many changes have happened in this fabulous month of July. {Which happens to be my favorite month, by the way. Can anybody guess why??} More about the changes later, but first a card:

This card was created for a Sympathy Card Swap. Unfortunately, in my line of business {healthcare} I use these all the time. You'd think that since I DO use these are the time, I would actually have a Sympathy stamp- but NO {gasp!} I don't. I inprov'd with this Love stamp and I think its a pretty good fit. Surprise!- no Stampin Up, except for ink, on this card. Thats a cool accomplisment for me. The card base is standard sized cut from Dark Brown CS. Flowers and Love sentiment are stamped on Watercolor Paper. Faux River Rock silky satin ribbon is from Michael's. The designer paper is from Heidi Grace, it is the opposite side of an double sided sheet. The interior of the card is lined with cream CS. More deets later...

Oops! I forgot...

If you have already placed an order, or we are chatting about items, these committments will still be honored. Everything will remain the same; all promises made will be fulfilled. Thanks again everybody for being such good friends and taking my stuff! If you see something on here the piques your interest, email me, I probably still have it avaliable- let's talk!

A Craftin' Open House

Because of high local demand, I will no longer be listing current for sale items on my blog. I will {hopefully} be selling my goodies at a small open house on an upcoming Sunday afternoon. If you know where I live you are invited to come and browse through my STACKS AND STACKS AND STACKS of stuff. I really do have something for every type of scrapbooker/papercrafter. You will truly be amazed at how much STUFF a single gal can accumulate! Heck, if you want to buy the furniture you can! If its not nailed down, you can buy it! I will update soon on a FOR SURE date {probably next weekend}.
