November 15, 2018

Alrighty! My favorite Christmas Color combo at the moment so I had to play along. Of course as I got going I added a little pink alright a lot of Petal Pink but you can see the foundation. #ctd519

I’m loving this candy cane punch from Candy Cane Season stamp set and have decided to use it on all of my holiday tags. Full list of supplies can be found below.

Candy Cane Season CYOB - TGIF Challenges - TGIFC179

September 28, 2018
TGIFC179.jpg

Boy do we have a super fun challenge for you this week at TGIF Challenges. The challenge is to create and come up with your won background. I love a challenge that is so wide open to interpretation.

I created this fun HO HO HO watercolor background. It was fairly simple to make. First I wet the watercolor paper and created a Bermuda Bay watercolor wash with an Aqua Painter. When the paper was still wet I stamped the HO HO HO in Bermuda Bay ink onto the wash. The stamped image bleeds a bit in certain areas but remains crisp in others depending on how wet the watercolor paper was. I’m loving these results! You can see where I tried this technique again here on this dinosaur card.

The candy cane images come from the Candy Cane Season stamp set. These are stamped in Poppy Parade and punched out using the Candy Cane punch. These sweets are so cute and chunky!

Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies! Follow along below. @i.heart.stamps - You are here! @hammondandpenny @simple_stamper @bellestampinwithann @simplyfairies_kimfee @stampin_met_monique @vickiboucher @craftsomnia #useyourstash #papercraft #cardmaker #stampinup
Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list.
