April Stamping Class Projects

Well I did it again... I went a little overboard with this month's class projects.  Mother's Day was on my mind when I came up with these cards.  And Pool Party is becoming my favorite Stampin' Up! color in case you didn't notice.  I will feature more photos and details on each project over the next few days.  Enjoy!

Mother's Day Card:  Used Stampin' Up1 Modern Mosaic embossing folder with Soft Sky, White and Black color combo.

Mother's Day Card:  Used Stampin' Up! Oval Framelits, Secret Garden stamp set and framelit.  So sad that this set and framelit is retiring!!

Coaster Calendar:  May and June

Technique Tuesday: Faux Metal

I hope you are loving my Technique Tuesday series as much as I am. I love pulling out my 6x6 Technique Album and looking at all the great techniques we made. This technique is called the "Faux Metal" technique. This would be great for a masculine card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Watercolor

This card was made with the Stampin' Up! Happy Watercolor stamp set in the Occasions Mini catalog (Wood 133188 or Clear 133191).

Supplies:  So Saffron, Very Vanilla and Always Artichoke card stock and classic ink, Black in, Aqua Pen, 3/8" taffeta ribbon and Decorative Dots embossing folder from the SAB catalog.

Stampin' Up! Flower Shop Birthday Card

I've been playing around with the Stampin' Up! Flower Shop set and was inspired to make this birthday card.  Used Stampin' Up! Flower Shop and See Ya Later stamp set and the In-Color 2014-2015 Designer Series Paper pack.  I  love this paper but how do you decided which pattern.. they are all so beautiful.   Hope this inspires you!

Throw Back Thursday: Easter Chick Tins

This Throw Back Thursday sample doesn't seem so "throw back" to me since I still use this little chick.  Let's face it, this was the best and most used Easter stamp set made by Stampin' Up!  We filled these tins with M&M candy... of course.

Stampin' Up! Flower Shop Birthday Card

I made this card for my nieces 19th Birthday.  I wanted to keep it simple and young so I used Stampin' Up! Flower Shop stamp set with matching punch and the Honeycomb embossing folder.

 

Technique Tuesday: Ink, Spray & Smash

Today's spotlight is on the "Ink, Spray & Smash Technique".  You will need glossy card stock paper to try this technique.  It sort of resembles a "tie die" look.
