SU Virtual Party-Extra Fun #3




Welcome to post #3 of the Stampin' Up Virtual Party-Extra Fun! 

I hope you had fun at the SU Facebook party if you were able to attend!  A virtual party is a great way to have a stamping get-together while we stay Safer at Home (or anytime!)!

Sponging is a great technique!  
When I need just a little something to finish a card, some sponging often is the answer!  
Here are 2 quick and easy sponging techniques.



stamps-Kindness and Compassion
ink-Crumb Cake, Night of Navy
paper-Crumb Cake, Night of Navy
accessories-Country Floral embossing folder, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine, sponge dauber


stamps-Verdant Garden
ink-Mossy Meadow, Gray Granite, Blushing Bride
paper-Mossy Meadow, Blushing Bride, Whisper White
accessories-stamping sponge, dimensionals


See these techniques in action!

I hope you enjoyed the sponging techniques I showed in the video!  
Finding fun stamping techniques is always one of my goals.  
Now "improving stamping video skills" is also a goal of mine!


Click on these links to see the retiring lists.   There are some discounted items.  Many items are very popular and go quickly! Take a look at your wish list and make sure you get these great products before they're gone!

SU Virtual Party-Extra Fun #1


To add to the fun of Stampin' Up!'s Virtual Facebook Party, I'll be doing 3 days of posts with other fun things from the catalog, as well as a few games and prizes!  Join me here on 
Wednesday April 29th, Thursday April 30th, and Friday May 1st.  
Then come back to enjoy the videos and projects as often as you'd like!
Have fun stamping!

Join the Stampin' Up! Facebook Party (Th, April 30th 8:00pm Central Time) here:

Answer a quick question (are you a demonstrator or customer) and then they will get you approved asap!



Watch me make the sunflower on this card HEREhttps://youtu.be/8CBfvaVclMQ

stamps-Colorful Season
ink-Early Espresso
paper-Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Bird Ballad Designer Paper
accessories- 1 1/2" circle punch, Christmas Bulb Builder punch, Gold Faceted Gems, dimensional

Stamp the circle with Early Espresso ink and one of the flower center stamps.  Put adhesive on the back of the circle.  Punch out approximately 16 bulb shapes.  Use any yellow designer paper or card stock.  Attach them to the circle on each side (at 12-3-6-9), then inbetween each "petal" until it is filled in.  Use more adhesive as needed to make the petals stick.  Attach to the card with dimensionals.

The last time I looked, the Christmas Bulb Builder punch was still available AND it was on sale!!  

This flower idea was CASEed from stampinpretty.com.
