NEW Release from RG Avenue and Barely Awake Stamp Set

Aloha All!! RG Avenue is now releasing monthly releases. Which is awesome, because weekly releases were putting a toll to my pocketbook. Anyways, here's what was recently released. 9 stamp sets, of which one of them is offered as a digital only, everything else you can get as a stamp set AND/OR a digital stamp set.

Here are some cards I created using the stamp set "Barely Awake". These adorable bears make great Father's Day cards... some of the sentiments were made by me. I have them for purchase here.

Thanks for stopping in... I hope to be able to create more samples using these stamp sets again soon.

Aloha,
Jen

Lawn Fawn Golf Fathers Day Card and Clear Stamp Tip

Aloha Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing some cards I made with Lawn Fawn stamps. These were made for Father's Day and I had a tip to share. I know seasoned stampers already know this trick, so this one is for the newbies. First pics of the cards I created. I had these up at my church's coffee shop. Scroll down for the tip...

Some clear stamps come with a film over it that doesn't allow it's first impressions to be fully stamped (like you'll have some blotch spots). Simply take an eraser, and rub on to the surface of your stamp image, and then wipe off, re-ink and try again. I find that I need to do this with The Greeting Farm stamps and Lawn Fawn Stamps, so far.... My picture shows the top golf cart stamped before the eraser rubbing, and the bottom pic golf cart is after the eraser rubbing.

Also for those images that you've stamped, and didn't make a clear impression, simply use a black marker to fill in the blotches. I use Black Tombow, Black Sharpies, Precise V5 Black Pens to fill in some spots. So far, these have not bleed when I've tried them.

Sweet... hope this tip was helpful to someone out there. :)


Aloha,
Jen

Father's Day Cards

I am nearly finished with my misc card order of 50 cards!!! Here are a couple of Father's Day Cards I created, which were CASED off the net. I changed it up a little bit, made it more easier for me to create. I love CASING these cards, because it's inspiring me and helping me create. I used to NOT want to CASE, because I was hoping and praying I'd receive some new ideas to share... but I tell you, thinking up these ideas takes talent and time. LOL!!!  I find that CASING is so much easier, and along the way, you can change it up and make it your own, then it's no longer CASED! :) 

Anyways, I totally appreciate everyone's support and condolences thru email, regarding the death of my Ehu. We were so very blessed to have her as long as we did. God is GOOD!!!! 

Here are my cards.

With Love In Christ,
Jen
