Using Rubber Stamps: Stationery - Martha Stewart Weddings Planning & Tools
Your wedding day will be filled with generous gestures by family and friends, and a handmade thank-you note is a especially gracious way to express your appreciation. Use a monogram or single-initial stamp to make the image with embossing ink (it is available clear or tinted; we used pink). Apply embossing powder while the ink is wet, and pour off the excess. Set the ink with a heating tool specially designed for that purpose, or use a hair dryer, held at a 45-degree angle 2 inches above the paper. As the embossing powder melts, it becomes shiny and reflective, giving the cards a sparkle. Return to Using Rubber Stamps

But wrapping these gifts in commercial paper didn't seem to make much sense, so I wanted to create some handmade gift wrap to match. I happen to think a gift wrapped in newsprint is actually quite attractive, and love the look of text on a package, but wanted to put in a little more effort.

Paint chip greeting cards
Like most of you, I’m sure, I tend to go through a lot of paint chips when trying to decide on a color to paint a room. And when the project is done, I toss the paint chips into a box I keep in my craft room.Hand Stitching, part 1
One of my favorite crafts is hand stitching-- it's fun, addictive, expressive and relaxing :) Over the next few weeks, I'm going to share easy ways to make your own patterns for hand stitching along with some tips and ideas :)
This extended weekend has been so laid back for me. I managed to do just about no homework over the break, which I suspect I shall be regretting about this time tomorrow. ;) lol. I do need to get working on a speech that I've got to give on Wednesday, but at least its already outlined!
