Inspired by Nature

I was playing today and just wanted to share this card with you. I found the layout (kind of) on the Stampin' Up! website and then I changed it to be what I wanted. I inked the entire image with Summer Sun Classic ink and then added the other colors right over the top with my sponge daubers.

Coaster Calendar

This is a 4 x 4 coaster that I covered with Designer Series Paper and put a magnetic strip on the back. I found these self adhesive calendars at www.vippies.com I think this would make a great gift for office friends or even teachers.

A New Top Note Character

So, I had a lot of fun making all of the Frankensteins for Halloween and then I seen someone had made a Snowman so I had to try it. I used the Top Note Die and Birds and Blooms Sizzlet Die to make this. I also used the 1/2" and 3/4" for his eyes and the big star punch for his nose. I am going to put him on the little white lunch bags for treat bags for Christmas.

Emboss Resist

I haven't fallen off of the face of the earth I promise. I just got really busy with Halloween and trying to finish all the treat boxes I needed.

At stamp camp we decided to start Technique booklets (I will share that later) this was our first technique. It is a very simple technique with a beautiful outcome. You emboss your image first with clear embossing powder. Next you use a sponge dauber or sponge to ink image over the embossed image, you can use classic or craft ink. Once you have the ink all around the image use a paper towel to remove any ink from the embossed image.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Upsy Daisy

Ink: Basic Gray & Whisper White Craft Ink

Card Stock: Baja Breeze & Urban Garden Designer Series Paper
