Magical Day!


It was a lot of fun to use my Stampin Blends on this adorable wizard. And the Brusho! Wow is that fun to experiment with. And you never know exactly how your pattern will end up. It's always different. Here's the details:

  •  I taped a large piece of water color paper to a cardboard backing and applied a good amount of water to it with a paint brush. Then a sprinkled Prussian Blue and Yellow and watched it spread. Then I took a spritzer filled with water and shot a squirt here and there. I let it dry good overnight and then cut this into a piece that is 5" x 3 3/4". I mounted that on to a piece of 5 3/8" x 4.25" Rich Razzleberry. The card base was cut at 8.5" x 5.5".
  • I took my embossing buddy and rubbed it over the top of the card and then inked up the swirl from the Star of Light stamp set in Versa Mark. I put white embossing powder on top of the Versa Mark and heat set it. I put Rhinestones on the top of the swirl.
  • The words are stamped with Black Archival in. This is when your Stamparatus comes in handy. You can keep going over the words until you get a good inking. On water color paper it can be a bit tricky to stamp words.
  • I stamped the wizard on whisper white card stock with black Memento ink. Then I used my Stampin Blends and colored away! I put Wink of Stella on the wizard's outfit and hat. 
Try it! It's a lot of fun to see the different patterns you can create.

We Must Celebrate


We Must Celebrate is a cute stamp set that you could order today from the new Love It, Live It and Share It catalog. Today also starts Sale-A-Bration. With each $50 order, you get to choose an item from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Don't you just love these adorable little critters?

I stamped the whisper white piece with Memento black ink and then used the new Stampin Blends to color in. So much fun to take those Blends and just color away. My basic card is Crumb Cake and then I took a 2" x 5.5" of Wood Textures DSP and attached it to the bottom of the Crumb Cake and mounted the whisper white on top with dimensionals. I just used my Black marker to outline the whisper white and I topped it off with the Glitter Enamel Dots. Did you notice the balloon has some Wink of Stella in it? I love the sparkles. The balloon is from the Party Panda stamp set.

Happy New Year

Another cold blistery day here in central Iowa. Talk about deep freeze weather!! As I write this it is -14 degrees out with the wind chill of -16 degrees. I don't think my furnace has shut off all day. I'm so thankful I didn't have to go outside for anything today. Some of the schools around have a 2 hour delay tomorrow morning. Those poor buses probably won't even start. Today I got to spend another day in my craft room and here is one of the cards I came up with. Pretty fast and easy!
