Lots of Retired Stamps for Sale!

I have a lot of retired stamp sets sitting around collecting dust!  I think it's time to find these stamps another home!

All sets are prices as marked.  Shipping is at cost and is not included in the price.  I will try to fit as many stamp sets as possible into the same package if you buy more than one set.  I prefer to ship via Priority since the boxes are readily available at the post office.  If you choose not to ship via Priority mail, I will be collecting a materials fee of $1 per stamp set.

I am not including pictures at this time, but if you need one I will get one for you.  All stamps are in great condition unless noted.  Stamp sets marked NUM are new, unmounted.

If you would like to buy any of these sets, please contact me at Michelle@stampworkshop.com.  I will be posting this list on various stamping message boards so if you see something you like, contact me asap.  Stamp sets are sold first come, first served.

I will take PayPal and money orders only.  PayPal gets immediate shipping once the payment arrives.  Stamps purchased via money order will not be shipped until the money order arrives.

Thanks for looking!

Guest Designers Wanted - Earn SU Product!

I admit it.  I can't do it all.  I am a busy Mom trying to juggle my time between two home based businesses, holding on to my bookkeeping clients, running a household, volunteering with Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts, being a PTA Board member and the Treasurer for the school Foundation, driving the kids around and having time for my darling husband and don't forget ME time!  I need help!

I am looking for a handful of people to design Stampin' Up! projects for publication to this blog.

Here's how it'll work.  As a designer for this blog, you will submit your artwork to me (electronically), and it will be posted here at StampWorkshop.com.  Projects will include a combination of 4 cards and/or scrapbook pages, a 3-D item and one tutorial/how-to tip sheet every month.  You will be compensated based on your submissions for the month with free Stampin' Up! products of your choice.  If you are interested, please contact me at Michelle@stampworkshop.com for more details.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Here's the Other...

In yesterday's post, I said I post another card using Love Owl-lways.  Here it is!

I used Stampin' Up!'s paper piercing template from the Mat Pack to make the dots in the corners.  I again used the designer series paper from the Holiday Happenings Bundle.  The heart is colored using Pink Pirouette ink and an aqua painter.

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Love Owl-lways
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Jet Black StazOn
Designer Series Paper: Holiday Happenings
Accessories: Silver Brads
Tools: Paper Piercer, Paper Piercing Template, Oval Punches (Small, Large, Wide)

Enjoy!

Owl-lways for You

I know it isn't even Halloween yet, but here is a Valentine's card for you!  This Owl is from a set in the new Holiday Mini called Love Owl-lways.  There are six stamps in this set.

I watercolored this Owl using an aquapainter (which by the way are on sale for $7.95).  With your stamp pad closed, smoosh the top in a few times.  This will transfer some ink onto the inside cover.  Open your stamp pad.  Use your aquapainter to lift some ink and then apply it to your paper.  Then, paint away!  Be sure to use a permanent ink like StazOn for your stamp.  This will keep the image from running.

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Love Owl-lways
Cardstock: CLose to Cocoa, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Basic Black, StazOn Jet Black
Designer Series Paper: Holiday Happenings
Ribbon: Caramel Gingham Ribbon

I have another card using a stamp in this same set that I will post tomorrow, so be sure to come back to visit.  *smile*

If you have any questions about this card, feel free to contact me at Michelle@stampworkshop.com

Enjoy!

Baby It's Cold Outside - Not!

So here is the snowman that I have fallen in love with!  I feel kind of funny posting this today though.   It's what, Oct 1st.  It's supposed to be nice and cool out. Well, not in SoCal!  Can you believe it's 96 degrees right now???  96!  We are having a scorcher today.  Luckily it's supposed to be about 15 degrees cooler tomorrow.

Here is a card that uses some of the new Alpine Ribbon Originals.  You can find this ribbon in the 2008 Holiday Mini that debuted today.  It's really neat ribbon!  It's felt and a bit thick.  It's stitched with white.  It comes in two 4 yard spools, for a total of 8 yards.  It also comes with another roll of ribbon with another design.

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Two Cool Dudes
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Close to Cocoa, Glossy White
Ink: Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango
Ribbon: Alpine Ribbon Originals
Accessories: Silver Brads
Tools: Blender pen (to apply Tangerine Tango to nose and dots), Ticket Punch, Paper Piercer, Paper Distresser

Trying to stay cool!
