Sealed with Love

Are you ready for some cute Valentine's ideas?  The technique that stole my heart the most was the ombre effect with the sponge brayer.  On any light colored paper, you can create the most beautiful ombre effects.

  This card is for the Casual Stamper.  I purposely placed the items on the card at an angle so I wouldn't have to worry about making things straight.

  This treat bag is for the Avid Stamper.  I used these colors, in this order, to get the ombre effect:  Real Red + Flirty Flamingo + Pink Pirouette.  When doing ombre, I find it's easiest to start with the lightest color first and then work your way to the darkest color.  Gorgeous!

  This treat bag is also for the Casual Stamper.  The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch is for more than making tags.  Punch each side of a strip of paper and write it around a cello bag.  Cute!

Do you have this set?  Show me what you came up with.

 Let me know what you think!

Be Thankful + Halloween Treats

Look what I made!

I made these projects for Stampin' Up! demonstrators to get extra ideas on ways to use their stamp sets.  Lucky for you, I can share this with everyone (since I made it.)

To break down each project set I do, I'm supposed to create a project for the avid, casual, and new stamper.  So smart!  So no matter where you are on the crafting spectrum, you can create these items.

  This card is for the New Stamper.  I used the Sparkle Embossing Folder for the base of the card.  To get your pumpkin all cute and colored, after you stamp your pumpkin, use your sponge dauber (in a circular motion) to color the inside.

  This project is for the Casual Stamper.  I bought these adorable straws at my local craft store and couldn't wait to use them.   To get the criumpled olive banner, literally crumple up your paper.

  This treat box is for the Avid Stamper.  There are lots of things going on with this project but that's the only reason it's for the avid stamper.
