Stampin' Blends Fade Technique

Have you ever used Basic Black cardstock, really wanting to have a colored image stand out on top? You knew you could use colored embossing powders, but what if you really wanted to have multiple colors on the greeting or image?

Well, that's where I think this technique will come in very useful.

Measurements:

Basic White Thick cardstock: 4-1/4" x 11" & scored at 5-1/2"

Basic Gray cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"

Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper (or any DSP of your choice): 2 pieces that coordinate; 1- 3-3/4" x 2" and 1- 3-3/4" x 3"

Basic Black (scrap about 2-3/4" square)

Silver Foil Specialty Pack: lightest of the silver papers (scrap about 3" square)

White 3/8" Glittered Organdy ribbon: 10"

Thanks for watching! If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I've love to be yours. I've been demonstrating my love of rubber stamping for over 19 years now and would love to help you find your creativity.

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...
