Old Golfer

GrammaStamper — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:38:16 -0500

by: GrammaStamper

Description: Made this for my brother's birthday. He's going to be 75 on Friday and still loves to golf. I used my Silhouette to create the #No. 1 Bro" that I transferred onto the golf balls. I designed it in Photoshop then printed and cut it with the Silhouette. It was pretty easy, actually. The "Happy Birthday" was also cut out using Silhouette.

Description: Here's a digital image from Whimsie Doodles. I won the set of sea creature stamps last week and this is my first card with this set. A tip about digital images. If your image bleeds black ink when you colour, spray it with hairspray before colouring and let the paper sit for a few minutes. Voila, no bleeding!

IAP5 ~ Tie One On!

GrammaStamper — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:52:31 -0400

by: GrammaStamper

Description: I made this card totally out of scraps. It's for a birthday card for a 14 year old boy who apparently loves ties. The stamp is from a grab-bag from about 2 or 3 years ago and I stamped the image on bits of scrap paper in my stash. I just realized it fits perfectly in this category and I made it on Saturday past. There are two views of the same card, one showing all the ties and one with them stuffed into the pocket.
