Autumn Days

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration yesterday, I know we sure did!
This beautiful fall card was made last month at Glenda's Stamp A Stack and I just love it! It is perfect "guy" card.



Colors Used: Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, and More Mustard (the wheat stalks)

Thanks Glenda for a fun night out stamping!

Wet Watercolor Technique

The second technique we learned at this weeks technique class is called Wet Watercolor using the Wonder Crayons and this is the card that they made. I love this stamp set called Autumn
Days. It is perfect for those 'hard to make masculine cards'




By coloring directly on to your stamp with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons then misting your stamp before stamping on the cardstock. Option that we did here was to mist the paper instead of the the stamp. Keep in mind you must use a watercolor paper or one of Stampin' Ups! heavier papers like the Naturals Ivory shown here. The ladies also learned how to color the Texture plate before running it through the Big Shot to give the background (of the Chocolate Chip piece) a raised and more defined look. So I guess they got two techniques in one on this card.

MENU:
SS: Autumn Days, Teeny Tiny Wishes
CS: Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Naturals Ivory
INK: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard
Accessories: Water Color Crayons, Sponge, Twill Tape

Stay tuned tomorrow to see the last technique we learned.

So For Now...

Happy Stamping!!

“J” Term

What a privilege it was for me to be asked to teach a card making class at Freedom Baptist School for their “J” term. I will have 10 girls in my class ranging from 7th-12th grade. I’m pretty excited about this chance to do more “teaching” than just the normal helping, etc. with the STAMP 10 Classes I have here in my home. The girls will be introduced to Heat Embossing, Masking, Two Step Stamping and much more. These are two of the cards they will be making on their first day. Another fun thing for me is that I can use some of our retired stamp sets which I cannot use during STAMP 10 since I cannot sell them.
