Look at this Amazing Gift!

September 10, 2020
I received quite a wonderful surprise in the mail last week from Jakelle; a demonstrator in eastern North Dakota. Look at what she made me!

Save

It's a 5 X 7" board on an easel and her craftmanship is incredible! She used sooo many different dies & products to complete it.
- Tasteful Labels, Playful Alphabet & So Much Happy dies
- Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
- In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
- Nothing's Better Than stamp set
Save

She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.

Save

Isn't it beautiful? She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP. If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.

I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person. I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job! I'm loving it. And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!

Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!

September 9, 2020
Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.

Save

The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red. See the tiny 'apples' on the tree? Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image. I dare you to try it! Watch the video below to see what I did!

That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here. There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set!

Save

I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set! It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!

Measurements:
- Just Jade card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  Very Vanilla 4 3/8" X 3 1/8" die-cut
  Early Espresso 2" X 4 1/4"
  Real Red 1" X 5 1/2"

Cool technique with the Wink of Stella pen!

September 8, 2020
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.

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.

Save

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!
Save

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!
