Four Feathers - Baby Wipe Technique

Forgot to post samples from my March classes.   I decided to demonstrate the Baby Wipe Technique -- great way to get a multi-colored image using reinkers.   Saw a similar card on Pinterest and put my own twist on it with colors, techniques, sentiment, etc.   

My stamping ladies LOVED this card and were extremely patient while we made this card.   There were several steps and with only one of each the inks, and stamp set. . . .it did take longer than usual to complete.   I kept apologizing but they just smiled and said we love this card and to stop apologizing. . . . . . . LOVE MY STAMPING LADIES!!  :)  

You can still purchase the Four Feathers Stamp Set and Framelits -- they are part of the "Returning Favorites" from the Holiday Catalog.   The bundles are very affordable (Wood #137629 $22.75; Clear #137630 $20.25).  I would also recommend purchasing a 2nd set of the framelits so you can cut multiple at a time (Framelits #135852 #12.95).  

Hope you enjoy my project!

Retro Fresh Washi Tape Modified Case - JUGS284

I was so blessed to be able to get together with some friends this weekend and get some stamping in.   This card is a modified case from Vicky Hayes - found it on pinterest.    Love how simple it was to make and how easy it is to change up the Washi Tape and/or inks to make it a completely different card.  

I am playing along with Just Us Girls Challenge of the week -- Trend Week (JUGS284) - Splatters!

The Gorgeous Grunge stamp set is perfect for the "splatters".   Just add some washi tape in the design of your choice and a sentiment and your card is complete!   Super Easy but still an amazing card!  

HOpe you enjoy my project!

Painted Petals FTL2 and PP235

Wanted to get some time in the craft room today so playing along with two challenges.   The Sketch is from Clean and Simple (FTL2-Take Two) and the Color Challenge is from The Paper Players (PP235).

You will see two different versions of the card below.  It is amazing how different a card can look by just changing up a few colors.    Let me know what your thougths are on the two versions!  :) 

The Painted Petals stamp set in the Occasionals catalog caught my eye right away.   I chose to purchase the set in Photopolymer (Item #137146 $23.95) but it is also available in Wood (Item#138819 $32.95) and Clear (Item#138822 $24.95).   I have found that any "Two-Step" stamps I can purchase in photopolymer the better.   It makes it super easy to line the stamps up, which is perfect and saves me a lot of cardstock!  You could always pull out the Stamp-a-ma-jig if you perfect your stamps in Wood or Clear.   

Hope you enjoy my project!

Original card below, but came across the Color Challenge so changed it up to play along!

Lotus Blossom Thank You - FMS175

Playing along with the weekly Sketch Challenge from Freshly Made Sketches Blog.   LOVE LOVE LOVE the sketch, can be used for so many stamps and occasions.  

I made the first sample and than decided the background needed a little something more, so took my Blackberry Bliss Sponge Dauber and went to work.   It still needed something so decided to try out the Bokeh Technique I have been seeing.  I think my techique still needs some "tweeking", but love the final result of my card I am submitting for the Sketch Challenge.  Isn't it interesting how the Lotus Blossoms have a different "look" with the two different backgrounds?    

Don't you just LOVE "One-Stamp Set" cards?    It is fun to mix things up, but it is wonderful to be able to pull one stamp set out and make a card.    You can earn the Lotus Blossom Stamp Set for FREE with a $50.00 product order (prior to s/h and tax) through March, 31, 2015.   Please also check out the newly added Sale-a-bration products below.
  

Hope you enjoy my Project!
