Stamps Alive is Sew Many Cards Sponsor This Week!

At Sew Many Challenges Stamps Alive is sponsoring this week’s challenge.  The challenge is to create an Easter project.  The winner will receive a CUTTLEBUG COMBO EMBOSSING FOLDER – DAMASK.

(Terri Olsen – Owner) SPONSOR BLURB --

I started my business in 1993 to give me something to do. I had worked all my life and recently quit to be a stay at home mom to my new baby. I've always been interested in paper products and I didn't like paying full price for some of the things I wanted. So I started my business. I like to pass my savings on to others. I've made some really good friends over the years. I've always been a small business I only advertise word of mouth. Over the years I've kept as busy as I wanted to be.

It has been very interesting to see the hobby industry change over the years. I had a "scrapbook" store in my basement before Las Vegas knew what a scrapbook store was. I've dealt with Provo Craft the entire 17 years I've been in business and that has been fun, to watch them change!!

Tellen’s Place is sponsoring Sew Many Challenges this week!

Eris Gives Heart Balloons

100_1996

Sponsor’s Blurb~

Tellen’s Place Designs is the home of Tellen Design images. These images are drawn by the owner, Terry’s, son. Terry thought it would be fun for her son to continue these images for her as he had done in 1999, when she first began selling her crafts at various venues. With the digital world becoming such an excited and explosive place with thousands of images to delight everyone’s fancy, it seemed natural to add to that universe.

Tellen’s Place Designs became home to these images for a wide variety of reasons. Having a home to call their own, this opened the door to creativity on so many levels; especially for beginners. Adding card and mini album kits answered many calls to those who wanted to dabble in the scrap world but did not have the time or space to house all of the goods needed to “scrap a world fantastic.”

Tellen’s Place is the beginning, where it all started. It is a place where Tellen Design images come to life through the weekly challenges. We are delighted to share the digital world with others and even more delighted to sponsor Sew Many Challenges, another wonderful place to be. We invite you to visit us at your next opportunity.

 

Digital Images:  Eris with Heart Balloons from Sew Many Cards and Little Girl Sitting from Tellen’s Place (Colored images with Prisma color pencils and OMS, cut images out and popped up with 3D foam dots).

Card Stock:  Light pink, medium pink and red (TAC) and heart print (K&Company – Ka-Zoo).

Punches:  Martha Stewart Lace Heart punch, Martha Stewart Lace Scallop Heart Border punch and Martha Stewart Lace Doily Border punch.

Inks:  Sakura Stardust Gelly Pen (balloons, Eris’ patches, little girl’s hair band and pink stripe on sweater).

Embellishments:  Silver heart charm, clear heart gems, pink rhinestones, red rhinestones and pink satin ribbon with hearts.

The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.
