In just two minutes

I taught Shelly how to watercolor paint today! OK - maybe it was 30 minutes....but it sure was fast! And I swear, I made this card in under 2 minutes! Judi at Stamp of Excellence in Canon city gave me the sentiment stamp this week......cause I was grumbling about my birthday and getting old! And Shelly brought over the tree today - is that simply gorgeous? From inkadinkadoo.

Just used black paper and stamped with versamark, sprinkled on heat n bond, then heated it up until that melted, laid down some multicolored metal flakes and scrubbed them off!

A 2-second card with lots of bling!!!

Alcohol ink - outside the box - final

With the backgrounds already done, it took about 20 minutes to make these 4 quick cards using stamps, markers and scraps of paper.

Mostly simple little cards

Inkadinkadoo, B Line Designs, and this one is just a printed sentiment:

And I have enough backgrounds still left to make up 20 more cards.  Such fun - alcohol inks!!

YUMMM!!!

Sometimes, all it takes is just one word:



That's the top, here's the front - a recipe box class coming up in San Diego!



Isn't this just about yummy enough to bite into? But oh! It's just paper, snowflakes and rhinestones.



A sizzlets die on the left and on the right, a Cuttlebug cut and emboss die. Now, who would know these are diecuts? I do just love altering and embellishing!

Can hardly wait to get Spellbinder's new cupcake die.....I see more cupcakes added to the box!



And this is just part of the background paper, cut out and embellished.



Inkadinkado has turned a major corner and is now producing some of the cutest stamps I've ever seen! I fell in love with the Birthday Cupcakes set. But look! On the left, it looks like a cupcake paper cup on the bottom? But the paper matches the background paper? Oh my....how'd I do that? Guess you have to take the class to find out!!!



And those Heidi Swapp cherries. I think I'm in love! LOL! Can a girl ever have too much bling?

It's going to be a wild 3 weeks in San Diego for sure! Oh, we're also going to do a recipe swap with this class. You must read my recipe - it's the best if you have kids!

Of course, I had to go buy chocolate just to finish up this project....it made me hungry!!!

Collage stamping - one up!

Oh me, I do like to play! Inkadinkadoo has new stamps that I truly adore! And then the sentiments from Cloud 9 - everything just works together so well! And I decided to play! For this first card, I stamped and embossed glossy cardstock with clear EP, then swiped it through colorwash on my craft sheet.



and then I added black pen and white pen using doodling stencils:



And since I'm working on collage stamping, I wondered what you could do by collaging stamps using clear EP. Of course, it's just a tad more difficult, but I managed to pull it off! And the background is 3 layers of colorwash so it came out a whole lot darker - but used the same 3 colors as in the first card. What a difference!




And then I added white pen with the doodling templates. Just too easy to do!



Definitely a card class for San Diego! Can't wait! We are going to play so hard!!!
