Stamp-A-Stack

My friend Geri came over for my Stamp-A-Stack on Sunday, we had a great time. I'm kind of glad no one else signed up, the cards were way too involved for a Stamp-A-Stack. We started at 1:30 and didn't get done until 6:00 and we made 9 cards, 3 of each design.  We worked steady the whole time. Note to self, remember to keep it simple!

Flirty Birthday

I case'd this card from http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/ Dawn is a very talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator and is incredibly generous with her talents. Here's my version

My 1st Waterfall technique card

I used retired DSP, So Saffron and Whisper White card stock, Happiest Birthday Wishes, Patterned Party and Create A Cupcake stamp sets, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party, So Saffron and Regal Rose Stampin' Write markers, Rose Red 1/4 Grograin Ribbon. Unfortunately SU doesn't carry eyelets any more so they were purchased from a craft store. Would love for you to leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Birthday card (#2)

This one is extremely feminine. I used the new Lace Ribbon Border punch, love ,love ,love it. But then you all know what a punch addict I am. I hope this beautiful card generates some interest in the Birthday Stamp-A-Stack that I'm holding on July 24th.

Another turquoise turtle

This is really a very simplified version of the original technique that I learned while in a technique group. I stamped the turtle on tempting turquoise paper with soft suede, then I cut out the shell leaving just a little of the head so I would be able to hold on to it with tweezers while using the heat gun. I then covered the shell with versa mark and then extra thick embossing powder, heated it then covered it again and repeated the process. then I took some early espresso craft ink and put a couple lines of the craft ink across the shell, covered with ETB heated it again allowing the ETB to move spreading the craft ink. Hope this helps.

Sweet Floral

I haven't stamped in a while I think I'm trying to make up for lost time. Here's a new stamp from Stampin' Up! it's called Sweet Floral and it's Ginormous! I only stamped what would fit on to the oval but it is much bigger.

Faux Turquoise

This is really a very simplified version of the original technique that I learned while in a technique group. I stamped the turtle on tempting turquoise paper with soft suede, then I cut out the shell leaving just a little of the head so I would be able to hold on to it with tweesers while using the heatgun. I then covered the shell with versa mark and then extra thick embossing powder, heated it then covered it again and repeated the process. then I took some early espresso craft ink and put a couple lines of the craft ink across the shell, covered with ETB heated it again allowing the ETB to move spreading the craft ink. Hope this helps.
Here's the card I designed for July for my technique group. Hope they like it! I used the Natures Nest located on page 122 $22.95

Here's a close up of the turquoise shell.

Sail Away

Love this individual stamp from summer mini page 11. Too bad it didn't make it into the new catalog.

Sweet little birdhouse

Here's my version. I tried to make my birds look like cardinals

Latest creations

The top card was one that I made using the Faux Turquoise technique. The picture doesn't really show how much the brad looks like turquoise.
This second card was case'd from http://www.scrapsandstamps.net/classroom.htm I made only subtle changes to the original design. I took satin ribbon and sponged it with Peach Parfait ink and I layered the frame from the Four Frames stamp set in the new Idea Book/Catalog page 141
