Sweet Pressed Cookie er...Biccie Stamps

I had a play today with the Sweet Pressed Cookie stamps. They come with two recipes and I tried the Sugar Cookies.  I had read some American demonstrators' blogs and some had said to stamp the design once the cookies were out of the oven rather than before.  I decided to try both ways.

These were stamped before going into the oven...

These were stamped a couple of minutes after coming out of the oven.

I must admit the images were a little sharper when stamped after and it was a little easier to do.  AND the recipe was YUM!

These cookies (or 'biccies' as we like to say) are from the Special Events set.  The set comes with a beautiful wooden handle and three silicone stamps, 7 cm in diameter.

Stamps:  Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps (#126903) $29.95

Festival of Prints DSP

I have been busy getting organised for our Paper Angels event coming up soon.  One of the products we are using is the Festival of Prints DSP from the Holiday mini and I have a few scraps left over.  When our October Impressions magazine (a monthly publication for all demonstrators) arrived today (!) I immediately CASEd two of the cards.

Thought this one was OK without a sentiment..... You can see what it's for, right?

And this one is very simple to make.

Thanks for stopping by!

50

A friend of our is turning 50 so I was in charge of making the card.

I used Mocha Morning Specialty DSP, now retired and that wonderful postage stamp punch with the 1" square punch.

Our new Apothecary Accents Framelit provided the perfect masculine background for the '50.'  A matching envelope was created by adding DSP to the flap of the envelope.  Sadly I didn't have a Very Vanilla Envelope, just a white one.  I don't think the recipient will notice though.

Card:  Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Mocha Morning Specialty DSP (retired)
Ink: none
Tools:  Big Shot, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Postage Stamp Punch, 1" Square Punch, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Dies (retired)

Charity update....and a card

I am pleased to be able to let you know that I have mailed off 320 cards today for Australian Armed Forces!  The cards were bagged in groups of 10.  Here are the boxes ready to go.  Thankyou to my hubby who donated the postage costs.

 

 

And I have also received a letter from Gold Coast Children's Hospital thanking us for our donation of $160 which we raised through the raffle at our catalogue launch.

 

 



Thanks so much to everyone who donated their time and money to both of these worthy causes!

And...a card

This is a simple card adapted from a design on page 53 of the catalogue.  It showcases the In Colors. 

 

If you like the In Colors, there is a fantastic deal in the catalogue - the five ink pads plus 20 sheets of matching cardstock for $47.95.  That's a discount on your ink pads (which would add up to $49.75) and, in effect, a free pack of paper!
