Today is another peek at the great release this month at The Craft's Meow. Today we are sharing projects using the new Kindred Spirits stamp set. I created this fun distressed card with it...... These Pansies are so fun to work with. There is a solid image and an outline. You can use one or the other, or as I have done, combine them together for a whole new look. Here is a closer shot..... I added some distressing to the edges of my paper with some scissors and stitched along the edges of the panel. To finish it off, I added a string of pearls and a pearl to the center of each flower and three strands of the Orchid bakers twine from The Twinery. Hop on over to The Craft's Meow blog to check out what the other designers have created and also get entered to win this lovely set. Hugs, Amy

Hello lovelies!  Freckled Fawn has the loveliest little bits for paper-crafters to enjoy.  My latest favorite find there are the Lovely Bits Stars, so bitty and sweet, and I love the colors.   I sprinkled the Lovely Bits across the front of my card and also added Freckled Fawn Heart Wood Chips.  The smaller of the two has been colored with a Copic marker and then coated with mica flakes while the larger has been painted with white paint and then distressed with ink.  I covered the back with a strip of washi tape to add a fun twist there.   I also made a few banners to leave peeking out from under the ticket stub using Mint Chevron Washi (my favorite) and Pink Airmail Washi.   Beautiful Melissa Frances products were used throughout my card.  The resin cherub embellishment was spray painted using Krylon Catalina Mist (you know how I love that stuff) and then coated with Sand Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  The vellum pocket, 5th Avenue cardstock stickers, and C'est La Vie papers are all from Melissa Frances.   Enjoy your week!

In March I wrote up a post about the Wacky package All-New Series 10 release, one of the new additions that peeked my interest were the Commercial Star Autographs. These inserts had an original Wacky Package image on one side with the autograph of the actor who were in the commercials for the items. Some of the cards were Lifer Cereal autographed by John Gilchrist, who played Mikey in the Life Cereal commercials, and Coca Cobra autographed by Matt Frewer, who played Max headroom in the Coke commercials (and Max Headroom Show). The cards have been out for a while now and prices have seemed to increase since the release, surprisingly, but I picked up a couple of Wacky Package cards and one of them was this All Turtle Snapper card signed by Wendy Kaufman, who played the Snapple Lady who answered viewer’s letters in the Snapple commercials. I paid a whole $1.78 for the card plus $1.95 shipping. The front of the card is the bottle on a flat black background and the back of the card (I am not really sure which is the front and which is the back) is a glossy image of Wendy Kaufman with the sticker autograph. I think these are a fun idea; they really grab the attention of people who grew up in the 1970s and 80s.

This week I’m in Bavaria to teach two woodworking classes at the workshops of Dictum GmbH. (And to visit my favorite coffee machine in the entire world.) However, instead of pushing the machine’s buttons over and over, I’m teaching in a different workshop and making friends with a different coffee machine.
