Celebrate with Balloons - consider it cased

I saw this card on Splitcoast Stampers (1stampingnightowl made it) and fell in love!!   I decided to use the Glimmer Paper for the clouds instead of Whisper White, but otherwise it is pretty much the same.  

My Stamping Group will be making this card this coming Saturday and I hope they really like it!! :)  

I think I may sponge the background in Bashful Blue to "create" more of a sky on my 2nd sample -- gotta play a little more before the weekend (oh darn).

"Magic" Mixed Bunch

I was asked by a customer, "What can you do with Clear Embossing Powder?"  Here is one answer -- create a beautiful card using the "Magic Snowflake" technique.  All you need is Glossy White Paper, Clear (or white) embossing powder, heat gun, cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, and reinkers.    My stamping group will be making the card shown below this coming Saturday! 

Magic Snowflake Technique:
(1)  Emboss your design using Clear or White Embossing Powder on Glossy White Paper.
(2) Put some rubbing alcohol onto the cotton ball (saturate it about half-way).
(3) Place several drops of re-inkers on the cotton ball (used three colors above).
(4) Start dabbing the wet cotton ball over the entire paper until desired pattern is achieved.
(5) Heat the Glossy White paper and "Magically" watch as the ink evaporates off the embossed design.

Spring Fever Scrapbook Pages

We are going to be making a 8x8 scrapbook page at my upcoming workshop.   I decided to use the Spring Fever Simply Scrappin' Kit that is in the Occasions Mini.   My inspiration came from the sample shown in the Mini; I wanted to keep it simple and clean because a lot of my group have not or do not scrapbook.   

The great thing about the Simply Scrappin' Kits is that is does not have to be just for scrapbooking, you can make A LOT of cards with this kit.   It comes with eight (8) 12x12 sheets of textured card stock, six (6) sheets of Designer Series Paper and three (3) sheets of self-adhesive die-cuts.  

My group will also have a choice of using Delightful Daffodil or Pear Pizzazz as their base for the scrapbook page.   Shown below is Basic Gray and Melon Mambo.  

Stampin Up! Products:

Kit:  Spring Fever Simply Scrappin'

Card Stock:  (shown above) Basic Gray, Melon Mambo, and Pear Pizzazz.  Daffodil Delight (not shown above but is included in the kit)

Have a Happy Stamping Day!
