Stampin’ Up! Summer Smooches Cupcake!

Stampin’ Up! Summer Smooches Cupcake!

Sorry for the late posting, but yesterday was a slow day for me, so unfortunately I didn't stamp a thing! I started a new workout program with Jessica and her trainer, Holly, about a month ago, and everything goes along just fine until there is a gap in the schedule, and Spring Break last week was a definite gap! Yesterday's workout just wore me out! I spent a good part of the rest of the day finishing up the "Hunger Games" second book, "Catching Fire", so I guess I did accomplish something!

That said, here's a card I created today for a few of my workshops this month using the new "Summer Smooches" Designer Paper and the "Create a Cupcake" stamp set!

The colors in the Summer Smooches Designer Paper are: Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Rich Razzleberry, so I pulled my color palette from this DSP strip! A little out of my comfort zone as I usually go for a couple of colors maximum plus one neutral, but this really works for me! The background of this main DSP strip is acutally an opaque version of Tempting Turquoise!

Here's a close-up of the cupcake after assembly. I added some Dazzling Details in dots and swirls around the stamped cupcake sprinkles because when you apply the Dazzling Details on top of Classic ink it sometimes makes the ink a little blurry:

If this layout looks familiar, it is very similar to another Create a Cupcake card I showed you a few weeks ago using the "Everyday Enchantment" Designer Paper! Here's the inside of the card:

That's all for today! I have to get ready to go pick up my three oldest grandchildren and take them to their gymnastics practice! I haven't been to their practice in quite awhile, and Cohen just started, so it will be fun to watch them! Just one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demo, I can take time to do these things with my family!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Here's another card using the technique, Versa Shadow! I showed you one last week, the card I made for my Mother-in-law's birthday. This one is another for my Punch/Technique Class next week , using the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog set, "Everything Eleanor", Paper Daisies, and Antique Brads!

Stampin’Up! Acrylic Distressing with Rue Des Fleurs!

Stampin’Up! Acrylic Distressing with Rue Des Fleurs!

Here's the next project for Punch/Technique Class this Saturday, a technique Stampin' Up! featured in their Demonstrator-only  monthly magazine, "Stampin' Success"!

Distressed acrylic 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

This pic really doesn't do this card or technique justice, as it is much softer (and clear!) in person! In a nutshell, this technique involves painting acrylic paint (97 cents at Wmart) over the cardstock, running through the Big Shot in an embossing folder, sanding, and then in some instances, sponging with ink! I chose to use the "Rue Des Fleurs" stamp set from the Occasions to feature with this technique because of its' vintagy-ness. I received this set while touring the Stampin' Up! Stamp Manufacturing Plant in Kanab, Utah, last September during my Founder's Circle trip, and I haven't used it enough, that's for sure!

Here's the inside:

Tomorrow I will have a technique card to show you using Stampin' Up!'s Wood Sheets!

Until then, thanks for stopping by and have a Stampingrox! Day
