#SU! Sending Smiles Abstract Watercoloring

A couple of weeks ago, I attending a virtual watercoloring session. It was refreshing to see old techniques brought to life again for me! The abstract watercoloring technique was one of these, and it inspired the card that follows.


Measurements:

  • Very Vanilla Thick cardstock: 4-1/4" x 11", scored along the 11" side at 5-1/2"
  • Very Vanilla cardstock: (could use more of the thick): 1/2" x 3"
  • Polished Pink cardstock: 3-3/4" x 4-3/4"
  • Mossy Meadow cardstock: 2-5/8" x 4-1/8"; 2" x 3-3/4"
  • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper: 2-1/2" x 4"
  • Adhesive Sheets: 2" x 3-3/4"
Hope you'll enjoy the step-by-step technique video I put together.



Here are a couple of alternative projects with the same layout. The first simply in a different color combination: Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Garden Green.


The second one, showing the alternative method for doing this fun watercolor technique:

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
