Boy the clock seems to be running at double speed these days. I have a cute little gift idea for you today. My niece made this last weekend when she was here with her mom. She really has a knack for paper crafting. So without further delay - check it out. It features the hostess set Snow Buddies from the Holiday mini.
Wow, I've been recouping from a very fun weekend. My sister-in-law and downline came this weekend with her daughter and we played "stamp 'til you cramp". We tried to get everything we could think of in as we worked almost without stopping all day Saturday and into the night. I was sorry to see them leave on Sunday morning but found myself contemplating a nap during church. One successful experiment used the "shaving cream technique". We filled a cake pan with shaving cream and added color with several different re-inkers. After giving leaves cut with the Big Shot some extra personality this is what we came up with. Have a great week everyone!
Hi Stampers, well you guessed it. I finally missed last week all together. It was bad enough that I was late the week before but - a whole week just gone?! Well, I sort of have a good excuse. I've been re-organizing my stamping studio. Or maybe just organizing it since it hadn't ever really been "finished". I'm very excited because now it's finally in good enough shape (more or less) that someone else can come and stamp with me. So that's what's happening this weekend. I hope to have something fun to show when the weekend is over. But on to this week's project. I have another card for you. This was fun to make. The technique is called "Joseph's Coat". Using glossy cardstock you stamp and clear emboss your design. Then you sponge or brayer on color. The color under the embossing will remain white. If you want the design to be colored then apply that before you emboss. Then you sponge or brayer on a darker color than before. In the case of white you can use most colors. The stamps used are Serene Snowflakes from the Holiday mini and Teeny Tiny Wishes from the big catalog. Inks are Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue, and Night of Navy. The cardstock is Whisper White and Glossy white and a tiny bit of Bashful Blue. Have a fabulous weekend and do something you love.
Hello Stampers! I'm a bit behind on my 12 Weeks of Christmas series. It will soon be time for next week's post. I've fallen behind on stamping also so this weeks' card features Baroque Motifs one more time. I promise something different next time. This card is made entirely of items that are either Whisper White, Basic Gray, or Going Gray along with our Silver Elastic Cord from the Holiday mini. I love the fact that our gray inks look like silver. Of course they aren't metallic or shiny but they still look silver to me. I think they would be perfect for a silver anniversary as well as Christmas and New Year's cards and scrap pages. If you would like to purchase any of these items or any other Stampin' Up products email me at [email protected] or call me at 405-837-4941. You can also go to my website at www.nona.stampinup.net. Happy stamping!
