HaPpY ScRaPbOoKiNg DaY!

Happy Saturday! I wanted to share two very fun cards made this week. The Happy Birthday card uses that adorable Pun Fun stamp set. This is such a great stamp set to use for "kiddo" cards. One of my favorite techniques is to watercolor. I used my Blender Pen on the rocket to watercolor. Then on my very patriotic card, I actually did a color wash using my watercolor crayons. I just scribbled on the watercolor paper and blended the color. I loved using the Jumbo Outline Alphabet on this card. This Alphabet set is so versitle and perfect for the scrapbooker. I colored my star chipboard using a sponge and ink and then stamped over it using the small star with Whisper White Craft Ink.

I know it’s National Scrapbook Weekend and I haven’t shared a scrapbook page. However, guess what I am doing tonight? You guessed it. SCRAPBOOKING!!! I hope you will join me. I can’t wait to share my scrapbook layouts with you! I challenge you to pull out your pictures and start scrapbooking those great memories!

Hope you enjoy the cards!

Craft Show Stamping

I am getting ready for a craft show this weekend. Luckily for me, my craft show partner is the BOMB when it comes to mass stamping. I have a terrible time making the same project a dozen times. It’s kinda like swaps… I love to get them, just hate making them. I think it has to do with repetitive stamping? I don’t know, but regardless… I get bored quickly. Today I spent a little time working on a few projects that I will add to the mix of our craft show. I thought I would share one of my favorites for the day. I love making decorative tiles. You really cannot screw them up and they always turn out beautiful. Since they are more for decorative use, I thought I would add a little pizazz to a few of them using one of my favorite stamp sets, Fabulous Flowers. I just love this flower.

Here you can see a close up of both the tiles. I stamped the Fabulous Flower many (TOO many) times and then used my Iridescent Ice to emboss each of the layers of the flower. Once they were stacked together with dimensionals I added a half back pearl to the center and it just added such elegance to the entire tile. Yes, a few retired materials such as Chocolate Chip ribbon and the sentiment on the blue tile were used. Couldn’t help it!

Have a GREAT day!
