Stamping Get Together... Swaps

These are swaps from my stamping get together with some friends.  I made the background using ink pads, a clear block and a spritzer with water.  You can find instructions on this technique from a previous post on February 11.






Stampin' Up! Rose Garden Resist


I used daubers to color in this rose and leaves.  I used the Rose Garden Thinlits to cut out the rose on white card stock.  I colored in and around with daubers and Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Ink Pads.  You can find directions in my previous post from February 17.





Stampin With Scraps: Love Blossoms Paper Stack

This is a great sample of how to put your paper scraps to good use.  All those little strips make a beautiful card.  Love this Blossoms Paper Stack from the new Occasions Catalog.  





Pleated Skirt Technique: Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper

I had to try this Pleated Skirt Technique.  It works very well with the new Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper from the new Occasions Catalog. See instructions below.




I cut a strip of Birthday Bouquet DSP measuring 6 x 12.  I then scored at 2, 3, 5 6, 8, 9 and 11.  Then I measured an 1" on each end and put a pencil mark. 


I used those pencil marks to cut the piece in half at an angle.  You can make four cards with one sheet of 12 x 12 DSP.









Rose Wonder Thinlit: Black & White

This is definitely a case of less is more... what better way to show off this beautiful Rose Garden Thinlit. Black and white always looks classy... this could be a great wedding card.


 




Monochromatic Monday: Bloomin Heart

Today's Monochromatic Monday sample is this gorgeous white on white sample featuring the Stampin' Up! Bloomin Heart Thinlit.  I love the simplicity and elegance of this card.  I left off the greeting so I can use it for Mother's Day, Bridal Shower or Wedding card.




Stampin' Up! What I Love Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set

Earn this stamp set for free during Sale-A-Bration. For depth of color, I stamped the flower with the outline first in Hello Honey and then the larger solid piece in Daffodil Delight.

Paint Chip Inspiration #27: Bloomin Heart Valentine

I couldn't resist doing a Valentine Paint Chip card.  The Stampin' Up! Bloomin Heart Thinlits made it easy.





Alter It Thursday - Birthday Bouquet Pencil Cup


Today's "Alter It" sample is a pencil cup I made with the cardboard cylinder from an empty roll of tape.  As soon as I saw the height of this roll I thought it would be great for a pencil cup.  I realized after I took this picture that my little pink hearts on the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper are upside down.  But I think this paper is so pretty that anything works.






Stampin' Up! Rose Garden Thinlits with Daubers

I love the Stampin' Up! Rose Garden Thinlits.  The more I use it, the more I am obsessed with it.  On these cards I used daubers to color in and around the rose with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink pads.


You actually get 2 cards from this technique.  You have the rose colored in and the beautiful reverse image.  I have more details and images below showing how I made these cards.



I used the thinlit to cut out the rose on white card stock  and then I colored in and around the rose with daubers.  I used my fingers to hold down the thinlit while I was coloring. The more abstract, the prettier the image. 


For this demonstration I switched up the colors and used Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink pads.
