Faux Suede Technique With All My Heart

Hi there! I feel like I've been lost in the stamping Bermuda Triangle, with so much going on in my life & no time to stamp or shoot videos. Well... I'm back! Woo hoo! I finally had some time alone in the house today to create some new projects and shoot a couple of videos, and man, was it fun! 

Today's card features the Faux Suede Technique on the flowers. To see a video of how it was made, click below:

Simple, huh? It is so fun to do, & I can't wait for my Online Cards & Projects Club, Scrapper's Express Club, and my In Town club gals to try it!

Aside from the suede flowers, the star of the show on this project is the Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is so glittery & gorgeous! It comes with 6 different patterns on 12 double sided pages. I used 3 designs on this card.

The glittery flower gets even more sparkle from a clear rhinestone brad. So glam!

The thank you sentiment from With All My Heart stamp set matches the art style of the DSP perfectly. In fact, the stamp set was designed to go with the paper!

Versamark Resist With All My Heart

Today I have another sneak peek from the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and a video! The stamp set featured is With All My Heart and the technique is Versamark Resist. The photo of the card is a little blown out, so the flowers don't show as well as I would like, but it is very pretty IRL.

To do Versamark Resist, you start with Glossy Cardstock and stamp your image with Versamark (a clear, sticky ink). The Versamark makes the Glossy Cardstock "resist" the ink when you brayer over your stamped images. Neat!

The tag is a die cut piece from the Matchbox Die, which is ON SALE right now during the 12 Days of Holiday Sales! Click here for all the details. If you don't have a Big Shot or the die, you could use a punch, or just cut a rectangle. The edges of my tag were sponged in Pretty in Pink Classic ink, and the Satin Ribbon is also a sneak peek from the new catty! 

 Supplies:

• With All My Heart (2010 Occasions Mini Catalog, coming January 5)
• Pretty In Pink 5/8" Satin Ribbon (Mini Catalog)
• 100730 Whisper White Cardstock
• 102599 Glossy White Cardstock
• 1001301 Pretty In Pink Classic Ink
• 1002283 VersaMark Ink
• 102395 Brayer
• 113439 Big Shot Die-Cut Machine
• 114890 Matchbox Die (SU exclusive!)
• 101610 Stamping Sponges

Don't forget that everyone who places an order between now and December 22 gets entered in a drawing for the Level 2 Hostess stamp set, Snow Buddies! 

Have a great weekend!

Lovely As A Tree Birthday Card

 Hello! Today's card features the Thumping Technique, and I think it lends itself really well to the Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set. First, the stamp was inked in Close to Cocoa classic ink. Then with the thick end of Ruby Red, Old Olive, More Mustard, and Chocolate Chip markers, the stamp was "thumped" all over the branches. A quick "huff" on the stamp re-moistened the ink before it was put on the Confetti Cream Card Stock. The DSP is from the Autumn Traditions paper pack. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, which has a stamp for every occasion. I did this card at my last workshop and put out the whole stamp set, so everyone could choose what type of card they wanted to make. Two silver brads finish it off!

Stamps: Lovely As A Tree (115026), Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370)

Paper: Ruby Red (102030), Confetti Cream (102835), Autumn Traditions DSP (115668)

Ink: Close To Cocoa (103139), Ruby Red (100075), Old Olive (100079), More Mustard (100076), and Chocolate Chip (100071) Stampin' Write Markers

Accessories: Silver Brads (104336)
