Vivid Vases with Crystal Effects

Another quick and easy card that uses Bermuda Bay cardstock, Kaleidoscope DSP for the background and vases and Vivid Vases for the focal point.  I cut apart the Vivid Vases stamp set and separated the saying on another wood block.  Easier for me to use that way.  I stamped the vases in black Staz On twice, once on the Whisper White panel and once on a piece of the Kaleidoscope DSP. I fussy cut around the vases and adhered them in place.  Used markers to color in my flowers adhered all the layers to the front, stamped the inside and THEN I carefully used Crystal Effects and set it aside to dry.  It does take awhile and it is really tempting to test it by touching it to see if it is dry but don't, unless you want fingerprints on your vases.  Don't ask how I know.  Patience in not a virtue I own a lot of.  Very easy but very striking in person.  Vivid Vases is in the Occasions Catalog on page 20 in Wood only $11.95.

You Make Me Happy Sale a Bration !

So today with the skies being very cloudy and gloomy I thought this was the perfect time to show this card using a stamp set you can get free during Sale A Bration.  You only have a few more weeks to have this set reside on your stamp shelf.  Order $50 before S&H and taxes and then pick the set See Ya Later for free.  I also used the free SAB Designer Series Paper, Sweet Sorbet for the background.

See those darling clouds?  Yep, another free SAB item an Embossing Folder called Decorative Dots gave some texture to the clouds that were die cut with the Word Bubbles Framelits Die and while you are at it you might as well save 15% and get the stamp set that goes with it called Just Sayin'.  Anyways, I die cut about 5 clouds  and adhered them to the front of the background piece and cut off the excess clouds and put the leftovers on another spot.  I used Gumball Green and Midnight Muse markers to ink just the parts I wanted to use on the stamp and die cut it out using the Word Bubbles Framelits Die.

This is just one of 3 cards we are making at club tomorrow night, hope the ladies have their stampin' shoes on.  So many ideas, so little time!

Best of Stamps, going, going, gone!

Just a reminder that this is the last month to buy the Best of Stamps. They must be purchased by March 31st and the freebie stickers must be collected and redeemed by April 30th. Click on a month to see that stamp set. ( I hope )

Burlap Wreath Class

We had a new and fun creative experience at my house making the Burlap Wreath from the Occasions Catalog the other night. We all watched the video and then jumped right into creating.  Usually I give a detailed demo and then we all pretty much copy my creation but not on this night.  I have never heard so much laughing out of this group before.  Most of the laughs were from mistakes made and fixed and really isn't that what creating is all about?  I only took photos of 2 finished wreaths and I love them both.

     Everyone is busy trying to figure out the directions and not cause blisters with the hot glue!
