PET BUDDIES NOTECARDS

I am mentoring a high school student this semester for her Capstone Project.  She wants to major in Art and has asked me to help her with some art projects to benefit PET BUDDIES which is a non-profit helping low-income families feed their pets.  They have helped Ashley and her family feed their four pets and Ashley wants to "Pay it Back" now.

Today we are working on designing stamps and printing notecards to benefit PET BUDDIES.

First, draw the design.  Next, burnish the drawing onto the stamping material.

The graphite transfers easily to the rubber stamping material.

Cutting out the design.  Remember to cut away from you!

Here is the finished rubber stamp.

Making a few test runs to see if there needs to be any tweaking of the cutout.

And here are the finished notecards with Ashley's design which she printed herself!

She's looks pretty proud!  She did a great job and I hope she sells a lot to benefit PET BUDDIES located in Woodstock, GA. She will probably sell them for $1.00, so let me know if you would like to buy some and help her make a contribution to PET BUDDIES.

AWESOME STAMP

I want to show you this awesome stamp I received in the mail today.  I ordered it from NoteTrunk's etsy shop so I could stamp my name and etsy address on the back of my cards.  I just LOVE them!  Check out their cute stamps.  They have a lot of stamps for the bride to be, etc.  It's exactly what I wanted, they were so easy to work with and my stamp came incredibly fast!!! 

and it comes in this cute little muslin bag......................

I HEART WOODSTOCK

Just received my new notecards I had made from my watercolor painting of downtown Woodstock.  They turned out really nice and are printed on heavy cardstock with a slight sheen.  I include a white envelope and they will be packaged in cellophane. I will be selling them for $2.50 on etsy.  Let me know if you want some, and you can have them with no shipping charge.  I'm still working on putting this design on a book tote.
