Summer break has started for me! I am so excited for all that I have in store--fun with Marty and my wonderful friends! Stampin' Up! Convention is only five short weeks away. I am heading to PA to Jan Wakeland's with Corris and Laurel in about two weeks. Who could forget one of my favorite things, Broadway in Bryant Park?
Tomorrow, is thrilling as well! The NEW Stampin' Up! Catalog goes LIVE! Stay tuned to see some amazing samples through the Blog Tour which I am honored to be a part of.
My blog is going to be full of excitement! I have another GUEST BLOGGER who will be featured here in the next few days. I also spent time (last night) crafting in PA at Mom's and teaching the wonderful game piece pendants. I have so many pictures of their gorgeous creations to share with you! Also, stay tuned for SUMMER CHALLENGES! LOTS of creative posts up my sleeve...check back often! Happy SUMMER!

A Charmed Life
I wouldn’t exactly say I’ve led a charmed life; I’ve had my ups and downs. But I do like having some charms in my life….the kind I can make myself, that is.
Tim Holtz has a line of embellishments called Fragment Charms, little acrylic shapes with pre-drilled holes. You can color them with alcohol inks, stamp and emboss them. In this one I stamped flowers with Stazon, sprinkled with glitter and heat set.
Another easy way to make a charm is to use some sort of charm blank. This one is called a Memory Frame. You simply insert your art between two pieces of glass (cut to fit the size of the frame), put it all in, snap the frame closed and voila! Instant jewelry. You can’t see them in these pictures, but there are bead dangles hanging from the bottom loops.
This is another example of using a charm blank. In this one, I had a tiny mah jongg tile that fit exactly into the blank (dumb luck!). I just glued it on and then added the bead dangles.
So, now that you see how easy it is to have a charmed life, why don’t you go make some charms! Labels: charms, Eileen Bellomo, Gotham City Stampers, jewelry, Paper Imagery Designs, Stampin' Up
Today, I held an event to celebrate a very special milestone in my life! It has been almost 30 years since I had my Open Heart Surgery. All of the money collected for today's class will be donated to the American Heart Association in honor of this special occasion.
One of the cards that we made today was a pop up card using many Stampin' Up! items that will soon be available in the brand new catalog. It's so much fun to have this surprise pop out at you when you open this card. This is perfect to hold a gift card inside for another special surprise!
Don't forget...tomorrow we have our very first GUEST BLOGGER!
I have a brand new lineup of goodies to share with you on my blog! All summer long there will be new featured projects, challenges and artists! Stay tuned and bookmark my blog for my very first GUEST BLOGGER who will appear here on SUNDAY!
This was a fun and very masculine card. I love this stamp set, Friends 24-7, from Stampin' Up! and have been eyeing it up for quite some time now. I finally decided to get it! The background is done by using the Double Bugging Technique from the Technique Junkie Newsletter. Check out her website to find out how to do this cool technique using your Texture Plates!
A few months ago I was invited to stamp with the staff at my dear colleague, Candida's school. Today I had the opportunity to stamp with about 45 brand new stampers at the Blythedale School in Valhalla, NY. It was really a fun time! Everyone was new to stamping and cardmaking and I loved seeing their excitement as they created their own handmade cards!
Marty (my favorite assistant) was there helping out! He is amazing!
This is the part of Stampin' Up! that I really love. I had the chance to share crafting with new people and enjoy making their days just a little bit brighter!
Tomorrow, I have the BIGGEST stamping event thus far. I was invited to teach cardmaking 101 to the faculty of a school right outside of New York City. Most of the people have never stamped. I will be working with approximately 60 people! My largest group ever.
We have had MANY people at our Stampin' Up! Open Houses but there many of my team would be there to help. This time, I am on my own! (Well, Mart offered to help, too.) I am SO excited to have this chance to meet so many new stampers!
Preparing for this event was a bit of a challenge for me. After stamping for so many years, I have developed many techniques and designs. I usually create cards that are a bit challenging. For tomorrow's event, it is important to keep the designs/techniques very simple. I want these new stampers to see that THEY TOO can make cards!
The cards pictured are the designs that we are making tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Drooling? And, YES...I have all of the items in The Mecca! Cardstock, textured cardstock, ribbon, markers...drool, drool....
