A Day with Paper

I finally got a day off of work and spent the whole day and into the night playing with paper. I did "borrow" ideas from various sites that I visit and then changed up some stuff. One site that I just love is Beauty Lies Within-Mary Jo has so much talent and her work always look FABULOUS!!-Then for the Bloomin' Blues Card I did a new technique (for me) Cracked Glass! I made this card for my friends birthday- She to is a Master of the Art of Stamping so it is very intimidating to make something for her so I do hope she likes it. Then as I watched the 5 p.m. news I learned that the is changing and well I made some fall cards- and a graduation card. As I sit here and type this up I realize that aside from laundry I had a most perfect day-a day in my stamp room doing weather what I love. So here are the pictures of what I created today and I hope you like them-but please remember that all the ideas were "borrowed"- And yes all products are Stampin' UP!

Thank you

Playing with Shimmer Paint

Well as I was trying to figure out some cards to make for my work family-I kept starring at my shimmer paint thinking "what can I do with this" then I remembered a technique my friend Kim taut me - so this is the card I created I hope you like.

All supplies Stampin' UP-

Paper used was: Naturals White (102310)

Bravo Burgundy (105123)

I took the filigree stamp from the Friends 24-7 (113218) -this step is the fun part- take 2-3 drops of Bravo Burgundy ink refill (105226) an add about 4-5 drops of Shimmer paint- I used Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (116806)-then I painted this mixture onto the stamp and stamped randomly to the Bravo Burgundy. I did this same technique to the flower stem from Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set (111490)- I did stamp this image over the filigree stamp that was done with VersaMark (102283) this was for added dimension. After layering the card to my liking I added some ribbon - Organza Ribbon (114319) . Then just add a sentiment of your choice. I hope you like this card.

Spooky Cards

Well it is that time of year when we get our Spooky on-I have been busy making cards for friends and family, and having fun. Above it a card for my nieces; I used Kraft card stock and Black card stock, I stamped the image in Black Craft Ink and Embossed with Clear embossing powder- The images are stamped using the stamp sets From The Crypt and En Francais.

This card was done using some more of my favorite things: the card stock used is: Naturals White- the background paper is Night & Day Specialty-Love this paper, it is so yummy! I then stamped the image onto tissue paper with Shimmer Paint, then embossed it with Clear Embossing-this gave the card a ghostly look!! Then I made a large yo-yo and tied some Black Grosgrain Ribbon on the card-It is one of my favorite cards.

Now for my favorite card: This card has lots going on- I used Basic Grey Card Stock, and Black Card Stock-Then I took Nouveau Chic DSP and stamped over it with Platinum Shimmer Paint using the From the Crypt stamp sent-this gave the background paper some dimension. The Skull image is stamped using Black Craft and embossed with Clear Embossing- then I distressed the image-attached to black added Basic Grey Taffeta Ribbon and a sentiment. I LOVE this card-so much I did not give it away!

I do hope you like the projects I have posted today-all supplies are Stampin' UP and if you are interested in any of the projects please let me know I would love to help you out!

Its Digital Time!!!

Well after spending countless hours trying to learn how to use a computer, I have started a new challenge, My Digital Studio from Stampin' UP. This software allows me the user to create scrap book pages and albums using all the same supplies that Stampin' UP has to offer. I was scared at first and had to delete a lot of pages-but after some time I am starting to get it. This software will be available to the public October 1st. If you would like to check it out call me or email me and I will be glad to help you.
