Watercoloring Tutorial and Alternate Card

Some of you missed my "6 Ways to Watercolor” class and it’s too bad because it was way fun.  However, you can still get this wonderful tutorial and/or card kit and tutorial.  

Here, I show one of the cards you can make with the tutorial and an alternate version of the card. You’ll see I kept the layout and technique but changed the stamp set and the color combination.  It looks so pretty in real life!  In fact, everyone who buys this tutorial and kit by May 31st will get the alternate card in their order so you can see it for yourself!  

Want to see another alternate card, go to my Virtual Inking Facebook Fan Page!

The kit comes with all the consumable products already cut and prepped for you.  The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on not only the watercoloring techniques, but how to make and assemble the various cards and box.  

Per Stampin’ Up! policy, I cannot provide any pre-stamped images, but as you can see here and within the tutorial itself, it is easy to change the variables for what you currently have.  You will need the stamps, ink, Aqua Painters and adhesive which you can buy right away with just a click of the button in my Stampin’ Up! store.  Click the Buy Now Button to buy this kit or tutorial.

Another Great Reason to Join Stampin' Up!

As I have said before a GREAT perk about being a Stampin' Up! demo is OTHER demos.  They share they're expertise with you and help you.  Love that!  Here, I learned how to brayer and LOVED it.  It's definitely something I'll need to practice, but I found it WAY fun. The key is to use a LOT of ink and a light touch.  It was a very fun class and was so thankful for the opportunity. 

Supplies: En Francais and Upsy Daisy Rubber Stamp Sets, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Tangerine Tango and Basic Black Classic Ink, Brayer, Grid Paper, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Basic Black 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, Basic Black and Whisper White Card stock.

Listen, there is a great Starter Kit for those of you ready to start this great business.  It's even better priced with product and business supplies packaged to make the most of this opportunity.  Really.  Don't forget you will not be on your own, I and a slew of other demos will help you.  Be sure to contact me to get some more information.  I'll be having an Opportunity Night for those of you who'd really like to grill me about this great business.

Happy Stampin'

Pikes Peak Academy Class

One of the things that I LOVE about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is the heart behind the company.  It's Statement of the Heart is "To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments . . . in this we make a difference."  I have learned SO much about rubber stamping and scrapbooking since becoming a demonstrator that I have ventured forth to share it with others.  I love the look on people's faces after they see what they made with their own hands.  Yesterday, I was honored to be able to have a class at the Pikes Peak Academy, an alternative high school for teenagers who have experienced frustration and failure in traditional school.  Every so often they have Life Skills class where they have the opportunity to learn skills from cooking to financial management to playing football.  I held a class where the students could make gifts for their mothers.

 

 

Here are the projects they made.  Another WONDERFUL thing about being a demo is that I DON'T HAVE TO COME UP WITH MY OWN IDEAS!  I'm not actually that creative.  I wish, but sadly, I'm not.  Fortunately, my creativity does NOT hamper my ability to be a demo.  I got all these ideas off of other generous demos.  I tweaked things here and there, but that's it!  
 

 

 

Do you like these projects?  Would you like to make these yourself?  Well, lucky for you, I have enough materials for FOUR more kits.  You get all the embellishments, and pre-cut and scored card stock in this kit as well as envelopes.  Your cost is $15 for the whole shebang.  The first 4 to pay get them. If you need me to ship them to you, please email me for payment. 

These are fun and easy to make.  Remember, I only have 4 and when they are gone, they are gone so buy one today!

Happy Stampin'!

Sweet Treat Holiday

Is this cute or what?  I told you there was a lot you could do with these Sweet Treat Cups.  Here we used the Sweet Centers stamp set, the 1 3/8" Circle punch, Heart to Heart punch, Scalloped Edge punch, Old Olive, Whisper White, Rose Red, and Bashful Blue card stock.  So fun, so easy, so doable!

Christmas Cocoa!

Isn't this a pretty card?  So simple, yet so elegant.  I used Soft Suede (which took a while to grow on me, but it did!) as the base and mat and the beautiful ribbon.  That tree from Snow Swirled has got to be one of my favorite all time images.  I stamped it on Shimmery white and mounted all of it on Shimmery White as well.  That specialty card stock is so beautiful and adds a touch of class to any project.  I didn't come up with this card, but found it in my wanderings.  I'll need to keep better track of where I get these ideas.  

If you want to order this paper, now is a GREAT time to get it.  You can order it here on my website at any time.  

Happy Stampin'!

Depth of Field

All images copyright Stampin' Up! 

I'm sad that "God's Beauty" is going away now that I've discovered it.  The butterfly is really quite beautiful.  Supplies: Riding Hood Red ink, card stock and and ribbon.  Barely Banana ink and card stock, Going Gray ink, Basic Gray ink, Whisper White card stock.

Riding Hood Red is really a beautiful color.  However, having had a chance to see the 2009-2010 In Colors in person, I'm really enjoying them.  

I used this technique to make a Scrapbook Element Swap.  I'll show that to you soon.  If you need to order any of the retiring In Colors you better do it RIGHT NOW because they are almost all out!

Don't forget that if you want to host a workshop THIS MONTH you get EXTRA free product for workshop totals of $250 or more!  Email me TODAY!

Happy Stampin'!
