Cool technique with the Wink of Stella pen!

There are times I like to color and others that I don't. I came up with this cool technique using the Wink of Stella pen and White Craft ink to highlight my main image. 

Wink of Stella & White craft ink Save

I pressed a clear block directly onto my White Craft ink pad and used that to pick up the ink with my Wink of Stella pen. You sure don't have to use a clear block but I didn't want to get Wink of Stella in my ink pad. You could use a paper plate or any other non porous surface.   

I used Purple Posy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray on the cards below.

Technique tips:

  • Light colored card stock works best here; the White ink can obscure the stamped image on dark card stock.
  • Squeeze out a bit of the Wink of Stella liquid to make a small puddle to mix with the White ink for easier painting. 
  • Paint the image once and go back and highlight parts of it if you want more 'lightness'. 
  • Black Memento ink works fine to stamp your image
  • This should work nicely on a heat embossed image! 
  • You can use the White Craft ink refill instead of an ink pad but a little drop goes a long way!

I also used Versamark to create a background effect on the card base, stamping the main image multiple times. I love how soft a Versamark background is and I don't use it near enough.  This repetitive stamping could be very busy if done in black or a darker color.  

Here's the video with 3 different coloring techniques!

  • Gingerbread & Peppermint cards – get the pre-cut kit or the PDF tutorial

    I've been thrilled with the response to my card kits to go lately.  Obviously many of you love pre-cut kits!  Christmas is a great time to get them when many crafters are looking for easy ideas to create their holiday cards quickly. 

    I chose the Gingerbread & Peppermint designer paper this month for its fun, nostalgic designs and traditional colors.  Look at the cards in this kit:

    Gingerbread all Save

    Most of these cute cards are unique fun folds too.  This designer paper is filled with larger shaped images for cute accents, or use the plaids, stripes, and swirls for candy, backgrounds, or accent pieces. 

    This card kit is available through November 18th & includes the following:

    • 10 pre-cut cards including die-cut & punched pieces. 
    • $20 in product including the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP & Red Rhinestones.
    • the free PDF tutorial with photos, measurements, directions and supply list

    It does not include stamped images, red ribbon or white twine.  You will need to cut your new Designer paper to finish the cards as shown including fussy cutting some images from the paper. 

    I used Real Red, Old Olive & Early Espresso inks as well as the Frosted Gingerbread & Snowman Season stamp sets.  You can easily substitute other greetings. 

    This kit to go will mail out at the end of November via Priority Mail.

  • Ever Eden; a gorgeous card kit to go!

    Did you see the new Eden's Garden Collection yet?  It's available starting today!  It's a combination of a sneak peak bundle from the upcoming Spring Catalog AND exclusive papers & gems available from November 2nd to January 3rd (while supplies last). You can see it all here.  

    Eden's garden Save

    I may be called Flowerbug but my real love is botanicals – trees & leaves.  This collection of products is gorgeous in greens, gold & a bit of Cherry Cobbler and consists of mostly leaves, berries & stems.  I've made sooo many projects with it in the last week; it's truly beautiful.  

    Below are the 10 cards I created using the Ever Eden specialty designer paper; most of them are fancy folds too.  I do like to jazz up a normal card with a bit of interest using fun folds, color combos or unique designs. 

    Eden's Garden all. Save

    This pre-kit to go includes 10 pre-cut cards (including punched or die-cut pieces), $20 in product and the PDF tutorial.  It features the Ever Eden specialty paper; beautiful in Evergreen & Succulent & Gold.

    There is a limited quantity of these available.  Order by November 16th.  It will mail out the last week of November via Priority Mail. 

    *Add on the Eden's Garden bundle to this kit and get an additional huge 22 project tutorial FREE and an extra 4 card class!  *message me for this option and pay all at once (Plus get additional gifts seen below)

    You'll receive the 10 card PDF tutorial in an email immediately upon payment. *Check your spam!

    This kit to go includes the following:

    • 10 pre-cut cards; 2 each of 5 designs.  Most are unique folds 
    • 1/2 pkg. Ever Eden specialty designer paper
    • a share of Garden gems
    • 3/8" open weave Evergreen ribbon 

    You'll use a paper trimmer to cut your new designer paper to complete the cards. You'll also need ink & stamps. I used Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent inks and the Eden's Garden stamp set; but you easily can substitute whatever you own.

    I highly recommend adding on the bundle; I can add it to your kit to go in the same package! 

    **This kit is not the monthly kit my subscribers will receive.  That is the Gingerbread & Peppermint kit seen here. I'll share it tomorrow.  Get both November kits here.
