Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Veteran Thank You Cards

 This week my Spotlight Stamper is Mary Jane Struensee and the beautiful Veteran Thank You cards that she made for me. We are gathering Veteran Thank You cards to give to our Veterans on the Badger Honor Flight as part of their "mail roll call".

Thanks for stopping in, I hope that the cards have inspired you to make some Veteran Thank You cards. If you want to send them to me, contact me for my address. If you can't send them, why not deliver to your local American Legion post for our Veterans.

Thanks for stopping in,

Cindy

Unlocking New Heat Embossing Tricks

Did heat embossing draw you into the stamping world? We see some raised hands out there! Here’s a fresh way to heat up a tried-and-true technique—create medallion accents and other metallic-inspired magic. These glam ideas are fun to share with customers and will add extra pop to your projects! Give it a try and then share it with me, I would love to feature you on Saturday Spotlight Stamper. Have a great day! Cindy ****************************************************************************          What is Happening Every Monday - FACEBOOK LIVE AT CINDY'S STAMPING STUDIO AT 5:30 P.M.

There is no Bunny Like You!

 I had some time to create a few Easter cards, while the Stampin' Up! stamp sets are retired, that doesn't mean that I don't use them from time to time. I always loved the Excellent Egg and  coordinating Dies. Easter is a great time to send a card to family or friends, just to say that you are thinking of them but also to share a new beginning.

Here are the cards that I made:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: Excellent Eggs

INK: Memento Black

PAPER: Shy Shamrock or Pretty in Pink Base, Balmy Blue Layer, Easter Joy Designer Series Paper

ACCESSORIES: Excellent Eggs Dies. Dimensionals, Stampin' Blends in Crumb Cake & Pretty in Pink, Easter Assortment Dots

The cards were so fun to make and I know just who I will be sending them to!

Thanks for stopping in, have a great week.

Cindy

Stampin' Up! - Love What You Do!

 Love What You Do!

Gear Up for Lovely Layers

Step 1: Stamp textures from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set in Pretty in Pink, Gray Granite, Bubble Bath, and Timid Tiger ink (in that order) on the Very Vanilla panel; let the ink dry. Stamp the texture pattern from the Beautifully Celebrated Stamp Set on the panel using VersaMark ink. Sprinkle white embossing powder over the stamped areas, tap off the excess, and heat emboss to reveal the texture. Stamp the leaf image in Shaded Spruce ink and color in the buds with Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends; fussy cut and adhere. Step 2: Die cut the white layer from Basic White Cardstock using Beautifully Celebrated Dies and adhere it with Stampin' Dimensionals. Step 3: Stamp the sentiment with VersaMark ink on a strip of Bubble Bath Cardstock, sprinkle with white embossing powder, shake off the excess, and heat set. Adhere the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a sprinkle of embellishments, a Baker’s Twine bow, and a Designer Series Paper strip to the bottom of the panel. Thanks for stopping in today, take care. Cindy
