January Technique Cards

The technique for January is called Crayon Resist, so go check out your children's or grandchildren's crayons and find the white crayon, I bet they won't even miss it!

This cool and easy technique creates great highlights on your card that you can recreate again and again.

Start with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamp your greeting and images in Memento or Black ink.  Taking a white crayon, color any part of the stamped images that you do not want color. Just sponge on the ink now, take a napkin to remove the ink from the images and you will see the technique emerge.  The ink will not stick to the white crayon leaving you with a great highlighted images.

Card #1 -Falling for You
 This card works really great with this technique. I found that if you stamp your greeting first, it is very easy to stamp the flowers around it.

Stamp Set:  Falling for You (Occasions Mini Catalog)
Ink:  Memento Black
Sponging:  Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzaz
Paper:  Tip Top Taupe Base, Melon Mambo Layer, Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz, Falling in Love Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Pearl Jewels, Dimensions


Card #2 - Rad Birthday
 I found that when it was time to add the ink, I did a swipping motion back and forth to create the stripes and the gradual color emerging into each other, I really like the affect.

Stamp Sets:  Swirly Bird, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink:  Memento Black
Paper:  Sahara Sand Base, Sweet Sugarplum Layer, Whisper White
Accessories:  Fancy Frost Sequins, Dimensions

Card #3 - Pop Up Birthday
 Isn't this just a fun card, it looks like a birthday present in a card and look at the fun that you will have when you open the the card to reveal the pop up of a trio of balloons.  This stamp set, Balloon Adventures pairs with the Balloon Pop Up Thinlet and is just perfect to add that WOW! to your card
Stamp Set:  Balloon Adventures
Ink:  Peekaboo Peach, Watermelon Wonder, Emerald Envy

December Stamp of the Month Cards - Floral Phrases

I am a little late getting the December Stamp of the Month cards posted, but with the weather and the holidays it took a little bit longer to get the ladies that participated all of their cards.

The Floral Phrases was the December Stamp of the Month, and what a beautiful stamp set to work with.  Here is what the stamp set looks like:
This card is a great one to add to your collection, you have Wedding Wishes, Congratulations and Thoughtful sentiments to choose from.  This stamp set also coordinates with the Detailed Floral Thinlets, the Floral Boutique Designer Series paper and Floral Boutique Washi Tape!  I just love it when Stampin' Up! coordinates their products, it makes things so much easier!!

Card #1 - A Special Note of Thanks
 Stamp Set:  Floral Phrases
Ink:  Watermelon Wonder and Watermelon Wonder Marker
Paper:  Watermelon Wonder Base, Silver, Whisper White
Accessories:  White Dollie, Watermelon Wonder Dollie, Stitched Circle-White
Helpful Hint:  By cutting 2 rows off of the Watermelon Dollie, it fits perfectly on the White Dollie and the Stitched Circle that we have stamped our Thanks will really be set off quite nicely.

Card #2 - Wedding Wishes
 How beautiful this card is!  The coordinating Designer Series Paper makes this card so easy also!

Stamp Set:  Floral Phrases
Ink:  Night of Navy
Paper:  Night of Navy Base, Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, Whisper White
Accessories:  Tags & Labels Framelits, Dimensions, Silver Cord, Rhinestones, Navy Candy Dot
Helpful Hint:  A tiny piece of tape holds the cord down, then just put the Wedding Wishes on top of this with to hide the tape with the help of a dimension.

Card #3 - Congratulations
This card turned so beautifully, the technique known as "huffing" is used, we colored the flower with markers, using Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green. After we were done coloring the Floral, you "huff" on the stamp set and stamp the Floral image.  This card is just beautiful and the picture just doesn't do it justice.

Stamp Set:  Floral Phrases
Ink:  Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant
Markers:  Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green
Paper:  Perfect Plum Base, Perfect Plum Layer (cut out using the Detailed Floral Thinlets), Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
Accessories:  Dimensions, Detailed Floral Thinlets
Helpful Hint:  Use a Glue Stick to adhere the Detailed Floral Thinlets card piece to the card base; this is a super easy way to achieve great results!

Card #4 - Happy Anniversary
Stamp Sets:  Floral Phrases, Timeless Love
Ink:  Night of Navy, Flirty Flamingo
Paper:  Crushed Cucumber Base, Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, Whisper White
Accessories:  Silver Dollie, Dimensions

It was, as always, so much fun to make these four cards.  I invite you to participate in the stamp of the month.  The cost of the Stamp of the month is $24; which includes the stamp set, cardstock and embellishments to make four cards.  If you live outside my area, this is also available to you, just contact me by leaving me a message and I will give you my email address.  It's a great way to build up your stamping supplies.
