Happy Grad Card – Red, Kraft, and Blue

This was one of the cards I created for my Milwaukee Regionals Presentation.  This background was made by dipping a Koosh Ball pencil topper into bleach and pouncing it all over the Night of Navy card stock.

Circle Circus Flowers

I’ve been so busy with upcoming family activities for my family.  Here is a new card I made using Circle Circus and various Stampin’ Up! punches.  I absolutely love this organza ribbon.  It is so easy to work with!

Shimmer Paint Techniques

I love the Shimmer Paints!  I think my favorite has to be the Shimmer Frost White – there is so much you can do with it!  For my Technique Tuesday class this month, I featured Shimmer Paint in two aspects of the card my stampers created.  First of all, we tinted the Shimmer Paint with Summer Sun dye ink refill (one of our retiring colors).  We then stamped the Upsy Daisy image on a cut-off Top note Die using the dyed paint as an "inkpad", set it aside, and let it dry.  Then we painted the dyed Shimmer Paint on the flower from the Pretties Kit.  WOW…so sparkly!

Gift Certificate Holder

I had to create a gift certificate holder for a mother’s day gift for a stamper.  I came up with this holder using Cottage Wall DSP and Always Artichoke CS.  The Stampin’ Up! Pretties Kit flower is enhanced with some shimmer paint.

Vintage Vogue Brayered Specialty Paper

Today’s card features the new Vintage Vogue stamp set.  I absolutely love this card for a several reasons:

#1.  I’m using my favorite card format – the tent card.

#2.  I’m using one of my new favorite techniques – brayered specialty paper.

#3.  I’m using one of my favorite color combinations – Brocade Blue, So Saffron, Silver, and Whisper White

#4.  I love the colored brad insert for the Filigree Flower brad.

I hope you like it too!

Irish Cheer

March is here, and it is time for a little Irish cheer!  I love to make punch cards, so here is my Leprechaun Larry!

I used the tag punch (hat), word window punch (hat brim), scallop circle punch (hair), 1/4" circle punch (eyeballs and nose) 1-3/8" circle punch (face), and designer label for the tag.  The hair is Really Rust; the face and nose is Blush Blossom, and Glorious Green is used for the hat and brim.  To make the center of the eyes, I used my 1/8" circle punch with Basic Black card stock.  I drew the smile.  To add some dimension to Leprechaun Larry’s nose, I sponged the circle with Blush Blossom ink.

Don’t forget to check out my blog on Wednesday, March 17th for a spectacular special that will have you doing a Stampin’ Up! jig!
