Poppin' Pastels - doin' the 3-step!

Using Stampin' Pastels and a Versarmark stamp pad, you can create beautiful layered images like this:

 

I showed this Poppin' Pastels technique at all my Stamp Club get-togethers this week, and it is so soft and pretty, I wanted to share it with you.

(If you want more info about my stamp clubs, email  me or click here.)

Here's what I did:

Using the Fresh Cuts stamp set (#111634 pg98 $25.95) I inked it in Versamark ink (#102283 pg193 $9.50), and stamped it on the left side of the white cardstock. I took a cotton ball, and rubbed it on my Stampin' Pastels (#105542 p163 $30.95) Pale Plum chalk color, and gently brushed it over the image. Then, I inked the leaves in versamark, and stamped them over top. I brushed Mellow Moss chalk over those. I stamped the flowers last, again with Versamark, and brushed Perfect Plum on those.  You can keep adding more and more layers of images, as you like, but I have done this one as a 3-step.

Let me know what you think.....

Scrappin' Kits!

I am not sure if I've told you before, but I LOVE Stampin' Up's Simply Scrappin' Kits! Have you ever seen one in person?! They are amazing! The images on the adhesive die-cuts look just like perfectly-stamped and colored images! And, for me, the removability of these is essential! I often place something on my scrapbook pages, only to change my mind, and want to move it. Now, don't get me wrong, these things really stick! But, you do have a few minutes to move them around, and it doesn't rip your paper! LOVE it!

Here's a pic of a page I made using a retired kit. I love that the colors all co-ordinate, and layout ideas come with the kit, and you have tons of 12X12 paper to work with! 

   I think these are one of the best-kept secrets in Stampin' Up land! Try them out! I also use them on cards and other gift-projects from time to time.

For a special deal I am offering on Simply Scrappin' Kits, see my Scrappin' Kits page.

More projects from Whimsical Impressions Team meeting!

As promised, here are a couple more projects swapped at my Whimsical Impressions demonstrator meeting last week! I just love getting together to trade projects, and learning new styles, new techniques, and new ideas! These ladies are awesome, too, and I wish you could meet them all! We have a great open relationship in our group, and everyone loves to share! Thanks to Erin who arrived early to help with the make & takes too! I appreciate that!

 

Made by Erin Enns, this card uses the Tart & Tangy stamp set, the Sock Monkey stamp set, the Summer Picnic paper, and the Scallop Circle Punch! All my favorite things! That cute ruffle along the middle is actually our white Taffeta Ribbon made into a ruffle! I will be showing this neat technique at my upcoming Big Shot Class on October 3rd, so be sure to register for that!

 

This pretty card, made by Debby Evoy, uses the Upsy Daisy stamp set, the Tangerine Tango striped grosgrain ribbon, and Holidays and Wishes stamp set, and Seasonal Icons stamp set. The colors are Tangerine Tango, Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red, and Very Vanilla cardstock. It's hard to tell from the picture, but she also added 2 way glue, and dazzling diamonds glitter to all the flowers! So sparkly in real life! Beautiful card Debby!

Thanks for swapping ladies!

To place an order for any of the products seen here, go to my online ordering link.

Here's a pic of a few members of our group! (and that's baby Keaton in the middle!)

Gift Card Holder

Today, at my Fun Folds Class, we made this cute Gift Card holder out of a piece of 12X12 patterned paper. Unbelievably the project requires no adhesive (except for the decorations on the front), and it just uses folds. Very fun! We learned this fold at a Stampin' Up regional seminar in Vancouver a couple years ago. This particular one was designed by my good friend, Karina, who is also a demonstrator!  Thanks Karina! You rock! 

If you'd like the pattern for this, send me an email. (I can't quite figure out how to post that on here yet! I'm still learning :) )
