Monday, September 18, 2017

So my little granddaughter Sophia turned 1 on Saturday and when I found out the Theme was Minnie Mouse I had to change my card plans and create a little Punch Art Minnie Mouse card.

Too cute; it’s hard to see in the picture but I used the Embossed Embedding Techniques coming up in my techniques class. To do this technique I used the I Heart Embossing Folder.

I created the Minnie with the Circle Dies and Circle Punches.

The little Pink Bow is from the Create a Mini Bow die set.

The Happy Birthday is from the Cake Time stamp set.

We all had a lot of fun at Sophia’s party she is one spoiled little girl.

Pretty casual driver; hahaha

Sneak Peek to Tomorrow’s Technique Class!

This is a sneak peek for tomorrow’s technique. I used the Color Splash Background technique.

I die cut the Presents out of the Color Splash Background Technique using the “For You” die found in the Holiday mini. I’m using the presents as Birthday Presents not Christmas Presents. It’s a die so make it for whatever occasion you need some presents for. They could be Wedding Presents; Anniversary Presents; Engagement Presents; etc. I have you thinking now don’t I? No one said they could only be Christmas Presents. 🙂

I love the Tie Dyed look I got from this background.

The Happy Birthday Sentiment is from the Sentimental Prints stamp set. I embossed it using White Embossing powder on the Dark Roast card stock.

This cute card is for my granddaughter Sophia who turns One on Saturday.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the video on this fun technique!

Trio of Beauty Blooms with Glenda Calkins

Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Okay are you sick of this stamp set yet? I know I’m not! This is day 3 of my Beauty Blooms stamp set.

I actually have limited supplies at the cottage so this has been a little bit of a challenge for me to come up with different looking cards using the stamp set and minimal inks and supplies but I like them all!

Here’s my trio if you have missed my blog post lately:

Today’s card I used the new Corrugated Embossing Folder and rubbed over the top of it using Oatmeal Cookie ink. This brings out the corrugated texture and adds a little distressed look and feel to the card.

I added a little Citrus Cooler Silk to the corrugated background.

I tied the Citrus Cooler Ribbon in the front.

The flowers were stamped on Summer Days card stock and then centers were daubered with a little Citrus Cooler ink. I hand cut them out and popped them up on a the Whip Cream card stock that was stamped using Fresh Forest ink.

To finish it off I added a little pearl to the flower centers.

Here’s your shopping list for today’s card:

Tuesday, August 8, 2017

This is my featured stamp set “Chosen Family” again this time I paired it with the Brocade Imprints Embossing Folder.

The Brocade Imprints Embossing Folder is a FREE Bloom Benefit with a min. $100.00 purchase.

I ran the Brocade Imprints Embossing Folder through my Journey Platinum with the Lemon Grass card stock in between.

Once it was run through I took the Lemon Grass Ink Pad and went ink pad direct to paper to highlight the embossed image.

The little flower from the Chosen Family Stamp Set was inked with the Bubble Gum and Lemon Grass ink pads.

The Black Gingham ribbon was wrapped around and a little bow glued to the center with a mini glue dot.

The finishing touch was a splattering of Bubble Gum Silk and the Fashion Silver dots.

Happy Happy Happy Birthday!

You need sunglasses for this BRIGHT card! Hahaha

This is a FREE ATS stamp you can choose with a min. $150.00 order. You can also purchase it for $8.95.

I saw this technique done a while back and have always wanted to give it a try and last week was the day! I stamped the Happy Birthday ATS using the Black Licorice ink and then brushed on the different color silks.

I think I should have used just a little lighter color silk on the Birthday part as the Outrageous Pink was a little dark but you can still read it.

This is a BRIGHT color card and I’m sure some of you out there will love it and other’s not so much. I myself am a little on the fence about this card; but that’s the beauty of creativity it means and looks different to everyone.

To be honest with you the cards I post that I’m not too sure about tend to get the most likes and the cards I Love get less. My husband says I must not know what’s good and what’s not. I told him well that’s okay everyone is different and has different likes and dislikes. I said I’m not teaching classes on my style of stamping I’m teaching classes on “How to Stamp” and “How to Use the Products”. I teach the ins and outs of stamping and you take that information and run with it and create your own style. 🙂

Anyways back to the card. I adhered a strip of Sour Lemon card stock to a piece of the Outrageous Pink card stock and then ran it through my Platinum inside the Brocade Imprints Embossing Folder FREE $100.00 Bloom Benefit. I tied some of the Journey Twine Licorice Twist around this piece and then I attached this to my Black Licorice card base.

Friday, August 4, 2017

This fun card was made using the Hostess Exclusive Bundle Pretty Petals and the FREE Brocade Imprints Bloom Benefit Embossing Folder.

What does Hostess Exclusive mean?
This is a new benefit and is for those who host a party or place a larger order themselves. There are 3 levels of Hostess Exclusive products. You have the $150.00 order/party level, the $300.00 order/party level and the $600.00 order/party level. The Hostess Exclusive products are available at a discounted price only for those who host/order at those levels I mentioned above and you will use your Hostess Dollars to purchase them.

What is a Bloom Benefit?
A Bloom Benefit is FREE product(s) depending on the amount you purchase. So if you place a min. $50.00 order (before shipping and tax) you will receive 1 $50.00 Bloom Benefit option. If you place a min. $100.00 order you may choose either 2 $50.00 level bloom benefits or 1 $100.00 bloom Benefit. There are also $75.00 Bloom Benefits.

With Fun Stampers Journey you are always getting something for FREE with a min. $50.00 order EVERY TIME you order ALL YEAR long not just at a certain time of the year!

I used a little different technique on today’s card as well. This was a technique that Richard did on one of his blog post cards and you can see it HERE.

I call this a Tye Dye Technique. You will need the Media Tray, Silks and Water.

Here’s the step by step instructions (from Richards post):
Step 1: Grab a Media Tray. Remove the dividers and fill the tray with water. Then choose your four favorite silks.

Step 2: Splash in your silk. I am using Sour Lemon, Cool Pool, Cosmic Grape and Citrus Cooler.

Step 3: Dip a Color Splash Sheet into the color mixture. You can continue to re-mix and re-apply the mixture to your sheet until you receive the look desired. For this type of technique – no one card will look the same. Your colors will mix together differently every time giving you a truly unique project.

I did this technique on the flowers from the Pretty Petals stamp set and die cut them out with the coordinating die.

I stamped the Hello sentiment (from the Dear Rose stamp set) on the Oval Die cut and then splattered it with the Citrus Cooler and Electric Lime Silks.

The Flowers were popped up at the bottom and top of the Oval and a little Rainbow Drop was added to the centers.

The Brocade Imprints Embossing Folder was used on the Lemon Grass card stock. The card base is Citrus Cooler.
