September 2014 Stamping Fun Night

 These cards are quick and easy.  Just attach DSP to the front of a card, and add a tag with dimensionals!  I like it with just the punched image AND with the punched image attached to the tag!

 We used a Decorative Mask to make the Daffodil Delight stars.  What a fun way to add some pizzazz to a card!

To make the Thank You card, emboss the vellum card stock with the Filigree Frame from the Holiday catalog.  Then cut out the center with Labels Collection Framelit.  Attach to the card with mini brads, stamp the words, add a bow, and you're ready to send it out!

Happy Stamping!

Stamping Fun Night August 2014

 This card is easy, but you'll want to make sure you use the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the swirls!  You can do it!  The stamp-a-ma-jig is our friend!! Try this layout with a leaf and fall colors instead of an anchor!  Colors:  Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, and Real Red.

 We used Blendabilities to color in the flower, above.  You get 3 shades of the same color, and the alcohol-based markers make it easy to blend!  Colors:  Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White.

We embossed the Thank You, then used an AquaPainter and ink (from the lid of the ink pad) to make a watercolor wash over the words.  The ink does not absorb into the embossed image.  Colors: Hello Honey, Soft Suede, Brushed Gold, and Very Vanilla.  the Thank You is embossed in gold and the hearts are stamped in Soft Suede.

It was a fun afternoon of stamping!  Hope to see you at the next Stamping Fun Night!

Happy Stamping!

Anna and Melinda's Party, June 2014

 This washi tape card was a demonstration card.  Love the bling with the Gold Sequin Trim!

 The Work of Art set was used in the make-n-take, above.  Stamp-off the image to get a lighter shade!

 A graduation card made with the Hearts and Stars Decorative Mask was another make-n-take.

This card makes me think, "Summer!".

Happy Stamping!

New Catalog Workshop June 2014

The card, above, was a demo.  It's a quick and easy card using all of the new InColors!

How do you get that background??  First, use an aquapainter and ink to make a watercolor wash background.  While it's still wet, sprinkle some salt on it.  Any kind of salt will do!  We used regular table salt.  When it dries, brush off the salt.  The salt absorbs some of the color and gives a neat effect.  

Use the Work of Art stamp set and one ink color (plus StazOn jet black) to make this card!  Just stamp, the stamp 3 more times without reinking.  This card is made with a new InColor, Mossy Meadow.

Groovy, man!  This card uses the tie-dye technique.  Rub ink in circles with a sponge.  Then use an aquapainter to make circles.  It bleeds a little, giving a tie-dye effect.

It was a great night of stamping at the New Catalog Workshop!

Happy Stamping!
