WC Splash Pcs


This card was a fun one to make!
I used the Oval All stamp set. Colors used were Cameo Coral Re-inker, Melon Mambo Ink & card stock, Shimmery White card stock & Whisper White. You will also need a spray bottle, Aqua painter, Big Shot with the Manhattan Flower Impression plate, Sizzlits Little Leaves die, heat tool, White embossing powder, White Craft Ink or Versamark, Oval punch & Scallop Oval punch.

WC Splash Flower




To get the color on the flower you first take your Shimmer White paper and stamp the image with your Versamark Ink or Whisper White Craft Ink. Then you heat emboss with White Whisper Embossing Powder. Spray the image with water, allowing the water to "pool" in the spaces between the embossed lines. Dip the tip of the Aqua Painter in the ink (from ink refills) then touch the pools of water. And watch it spread thru the water. Start with the lightest color first. Should use at least 2 - 3 colors. Have fun with this. It is amazing technique. If you would like to learn about more techniques join my technique club. Click Here

Sweet Center


In this card I am using the Sweet Centers Stamp set and the Sweet Center cups. How fun is this!!
I used Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore & Whisper White cardstock. Elegant Eggplant Ink, Black Gingham Ribbon, Big Shot with the Embossing Plate "Weave" & 1-3/4 , 1-3/8 Punches.

To put this together I added the candy to the cup and then put the square Pumpkin Pie pc onto the cup. Then I snailed around the backside of the Whisper White stamped pc and attached that to the cup. I put Stampin' Up! dimensionals on the back side of this. Then I put this on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock that has been run thru the Big Shot with the "Weave" plate. Then finish by putting this on the Green Galore cardstock and add your ribbon and tag. Thank you for stopping by. If interested in learning this technique and more click here.

Toolbox




















My daughter asked if I would make her a toolbox for her husband for father's day. He had asked for a life size toolbox of course. I said sure I can come with something that would work for what she needed. She had wrapped this one up and gave it to him as his toolbox that he wanted. (He also got the real life size one also.) So this is what I came up with, thanks to the help of Natasha Hein. The letters were done with the Big Shot Die Cut machine and the Naturally Serif die. The brads and the top piece are from the Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. For the template for the toolbox Click Here.
