Stampin’ Up! Retiring Inspired By Nature Misted Markers Technique!

Stampin’ Up! Retiring Inspired By Nature Misted Markers Technique!

Good Morning Stampers! How is your weekend going? Mine is going good!

How about another technique? This one combines "emboss resist" with a fun technique I call "Misted Markers":

Isn't this gorgeous? There are a few more steps than yesterday's technique, but well worth it, don't you think?

LOTS of retiring products on this card:

    *"Inspired By Nature" Stamp Set (coneflowers)

    *"Short & Sweet" Stamp Set (wish big)

    *"Charming" Stamp Set (clear-embossed background words)

    *3/8" Twill Tape

And the inside:

"Inspired By Nature" flowers again, along with:

*"Charming" Stamp Set (scrolly frame)

*"You're a Gem" Stamp Set (Friend)

Contact me to order any of these retiring products before May 31st!

I will be back tomorrow morning with the third and final May technique! Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

The Rest of Punch Class!

The Rest of Punch Class!

Here are the final two projects from Friday night's Punch Class. On the last one I will show you how a "Punch Page" is laid out just so you can see everything you get when you come to this class!

These cute litte robin birdies are made entirely with the "Two-Step Bird Extra-Large" punch. The colors are Tangerine Tango and Soft Suede for the birdies, and the tree and sponging around the edges of the "Framed Tulips" Textured Impressions Folder is Early Espresso. "Friends" is from "Your a Gem" in the Occasions Mini! The tree, flowers and leaves are all from "Season of Friendship"! I CASED this birdie idea from Maria!

Stampingrox! tip: to achieve the shadowed tree effect you see on the inside of the card, stamp your tree image on the front of the card FIRST before putting it inside the "Framed Tulips" Textured Impressions Folder. After you run the cardstock through the Big Shot, immediately put your inside Very Vanilla piece into the same folder and Big Shot it. The ink residue from the front layer of the card will transfer to this layer, giving you a cool "shadowed" effect. Be sure to clean your folder with a baby wipe or wet towel and dry thoroughly before using on a project that you don't want to have the  shadowed effect!  "with Love & caring" is from "Thanks for Caring" in the Occasions Mini!

This rather forlorn little fellow is a CASE from Jackie Topa and someone else, but I can't remember the other girl's name. There are SO MANY great ideas out here on the net, I have to limit myself to just a few minutes a day of blog surfing or I would never get anything stamped! Wouldn't this little guy make a cute Christmas Elf or Papa Smurf too?  "good luck" and the shamrock stamp is from "So Happy for You", a free SAB set you can get with a $50 order, but time is running out, SAB ends on March 31st!

Here's the punch page we made to correspond with the gnome punch project. Isn't it cool that with the exception of the "Itty Bitty Shapes" punched eyes and little hand-trimmed suspenders, he is entirely made with the "Blossom Petals" punch!

To make this punch page, all you have to do is follow the guide I provide on the stamping table (this is the exact one from this project!). Usually all the pieces are pre-punched for you (you do the trimming) and the labels are pre-printed.

That's all for today, my "Stampingrox!" friends!

A Sunday Post!

A Sunday Post!

Slooowly I am getting better at posting to my blog on a consistent basis, which was one of my goals at the beginning of January. I actualy started after I returned from Leadership in mid-January, and have been building up ever since! How do you like it? If some of you would leave me a comment, I might be encouraged to offer you all some blog candy one of these days, how about that?????!!!

These next three cards are some of my favorites from this month's swap (although they have all bee SO GREAT, it's really hard to choose!)

Rene Watson used the "Scallop Square" punch on page 201 of the Big Catalog to highight the "Springtime Vintage" Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini catalog. She added some "Victoria" Crochet Trim and a Basic Jewels Pearl to the "sending Springtime smiles" greeting! Her color palette base is Old Olive and Not Quite Navy! Beautiful!

Sadly, "No Name 1" is how I had to label this card after I loaded it on my computer. It is such a beautiful card, but I can't give anyone credit! Whoever you are, you did a fantastic job, stamping and coloring the blossoming branch from "Easter Blossoms" on Whisper White before running it through the Big Shot with the "Square Lattice" Textured Impressions Folder. I love the extra little touch of the Basic Pearl in the little girl's bow!

Susie Wood tore her "Springtime Vintage" fabric from the Occasions Mini into strips before adding it as a background layer to this beautiful creation! She also used the Occasions Mini "Baby Blossoms" for her focal point flower, with the Crumb Cake stamped-off background stamp from "Charming" on page 130 of the Big Catalog before punching with one of our Circle punches and layering on the smaller scalloped square from the "Scalloped Squares Duo" die for the Big Shot! This is all layered on a Very Vanilla Big Shot "Lattice" layer which is then layered again on "Perfect Polka Dot" Very Vanilla for an elegant, tone-on-tone look!
