Vintage Luggage

Welcome to Saturday Knight Stamping!


This little suitcase would be the perfect gift for the college student leaving home, the retiring co-worker, or a family member traveling on holiday. It can hold chocolates, sweets, or a souvenir.

I used the Box #2 Bigz™ XL Die to make the suitcase. The handle is made with the Modern Label Punch and a small strip of card stock (2 - 1/2" x 1/4") held together with Gold Brads. The suitcase corners are two Curly Label Punch[ed] pieces cut in half to make four corners. The Travel Log stamp set completes the suitcase labels. This set is only available from the Summer Mini Catalog 2011.

Travel Log Stamp-Set W#123080 C#123082

Once Upon A Time



My first rubber stamp was a ballerina bunny which I shared with my two-year-old daughter. We had two ink pads: purple and green. I was invited to my first Stampin' Up! workshop in 1996. I was hesitant to go because: "I knew how to stamp."

Boy, was I wrong.

I bought a catalog that night and it was my constant companion until I booked my first Stampin' Up! workshop.

That's how it all started.

Growing up, my mother got me involved in Brownies, Girl Scouts and 4H. It was there that I tried sewing, cross-stitching, decoupage, macramé, and so on.

In high school I took Home Ec. (back when they had Home Economics in school). There I learned knitting, crocheting, quilting, and cooking.

As a young mother I learned how to decorate on a shoe-string budget and I enjoyed making my own home décor. I'm amazed at all the things that I was able to make from a single bed-sheet. I could even turn a garage sale-find into a useful household piece with just a can of paint.

I'm constantly in awe that these past skills still encourage me today. For example, I can tie the perfect bow and it all comes from having learned macramé as a kid. I discovered that paper-crafting and Stampin' Up! combine everything I love.

I still remember and understand what it's like to be a newcomer to the Stampin' Up! world. I still get the "drop jaw" moments when I learn or see something new. Whenever I can, I'll share my latest projects. Feel free to come back to see what is new.
