Sorry I’m late with last week’s challenge, which was color blocking. I’d never done this before, so tried to find some samples on the internet, and one source said that the "blocking" can be left to interpretation, so this is mine… Supplies: Stamps: Keeper (Artistic Outpost) Paper: Core’dinations, Daisy D, Whisper White, Soft Sky Ink: […]

The bandana technique was inspired by a video I saw on You Tube featuring the head instructor for Ranger Industries. It uses a white gel pen, and is so easy! I know a lot of stampers have commented that they don’t really like using Stampin’ Up!®‘s Signo White Gel Pen because either it skips or […]

This week’s challenge was watercoloring. Since I’m still away from home, I have to work with what I have with me or can rut out of my daughter’s stash. I couldn’t find an aquapainter or paintbrush, but did find her Stampin’ Pastels, so improvised on my watercoloring technique by using Stampin’ Pastels® and a blender […]

August 7, 2007 by
One of the highlights of attending the annual Stampin’ Up!® Convention is swapping cards with other demos. I made 300 (with the help of Nancy’s eldest daughter, Danielle) cards to take to the convention again this year. One of my “rules” of card making is that I have to use something different each time […]
