Dryer Sheet Stamping

Hello friends.  It's Beth Norman here with a Dryer Sheet Stamping card from the February issue.  It is such a fun technique.  One dryer sheet goes a long way so you can create, create, create.

How is the weather where you are?  Wow, this polar vortex they talk about has really hit everyone.  I'm disappointed that our groundhog saw it's shadow because there is six more weeks of this long winter.

Happy Stamping.

Stamp:  My Favorite Things 

Antique Glimmers and Smooched Metal by Judy Jackson

Isn't this little girl adorable?  She is a wonderful stamp from Pat Huntoon's new stamp line - Technique Junkie stamps -- formally Stamp Camp. This stamp line has some beautiful images you would really enjoy using.  Check them out at http://www.stampcamp.com/ .

I used Memento ink to stamp the image and then colored her with Copic markers.  She is layered on a piece of background paper created with the TJ Antique Glimmers technique from December 2009.   The metal flower was painted with Smooch Paint using the  Smooched Metal technique from the October 2010 issue of TJ.  She makes a wonderful Spring card - and oh that it were truly Spring!  I can hardly wait.  I layered the flowers on a piece of punched out Mulberry paper. 

Hope you have a crafty day!

Tri Cut Die and Cuttlebug Enbossing

 

Jackie K here with a card I made for my grandson Jordan's 22nd birthday.

 

 

 

 

I used the Tri Cut Die technique and added Cuttlebug embossing to the side.

I've had great fun with this technique and you will too!

See you back here soon!



A little "Off"

Today's card uses the technique called Dye Whitewash from the August 2013 issue.  I had a couple of friends over for a Friday stamp day and we decided to give this technique a try.  I really love the subtle color that it gives to the image.  While playing with the technique, we used my friend's white detail embossing powder.

Tonight as I finished the card up with a sentiment, I grabbed my white detail embossing powder.  Who knew that White Detail embossing powder would have different whites.  Sheesh!  Mine is more "Off" white than real white.  So.....what was I to do.....my sentiment was Off White and the image was White.....       So, I decided to make the card base and the butterflies in off white as well so that it didn't look like a mistake.  It worked out fairly well, making the image popping more from the card.

I hope that you like!   The image is from Stampendous and the words are from Stampin Up...I think!

Washi Shapes for Chinese New Year

I am in Hong Kong today, so thought it fitting that I make a card for Chinese New Year (which is 1/31).

 I used a Michael Strong Kimono die and mounted it on dimensionals with a piece of Mulberry like cardstock I bought in China last year as the backdrop. I used a Copic Marker to color a piece of Silk Ribbon for the sash. The Kanji says Happy New Year. I cut toothpicks for the top and the bottom of the banner. 2014 is the Year of the Horse.

 This is such a fun way to use Washi and a fun new way to look at your dies. We'd love to see what you create!
