SEPT/OCT 2023 NEWSLETTER – BROWNIES

I’m happy to announce that my grandson, Jesse, and two of his children, made a trip to California in September and brought my vulcanizer back. The next step will be to purchase raw rubber and restock Stamp Galore’s inventory. I’m concentrating on the line of Brownies with the goal of every one of the 170 designs being available as mounted, cling, or just rubber. When all stock is 100% available, I’ll make an announcement in NEWS on this site. The card that I’m displaying in this Sept./Oct. newsletter uses nine different Brownie stamps. They are 0540-F, Two Trees with Birds; 0544-D. Medium Tree; 0819-F, Hold That Rope!; 0814-A, Ready, Aim, Fire, Smoke; 05450-D, Rocks & Ground; 0524-E, Shrubs/Clouds; 0811-H, Fun with a Burro; 0174-C, Weed Patch; and 0544-K, Tall Brownie Grove. Stamps drawn by my mother, Marge Busby, and used in this card are 0705-F, Rocky Ground, and 0715, Rocks & Grass.

Vellum Celestial Bunny

“Bold Block – Celestial Bunny” was stamped in blue on vellum and trimmed with deckle scissors leaving enough vellum on both sides so that eyelets could be used to attach the vellum to the card. Strips of three different blue card stock were attached with glue, then the vellum cut-out was secured with eyelets. The saying, “Take time to enjoy the special things in life” was computer generated, trimmed with decorative scissors and layered over a blue piece of card stock cut just a little larger. The edge of the white card stock was edged with a blue marker and layered on dark blue card stock. Card by Judy Conklin.
