Good Crafternoon - You've been framed!

Hi Beauties~

I love my crafternoons!  It is when I get a little time alone to do my crafts (usually on a weekend).  Today, I want to show you how I turned the Hardwood stamp into a frame rather than just a mere background.  I stamped crumbcake card stock with baked brown sugar ink, then using my Stampin' Trimmer, I cut out the inside of the card stock to the size I wanted.  Then I spritz it with water and crumpled it to get a more weathered wood look.  This made a perfect frame for my flower.  Using Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to color in my stamped images, I believe these inks make the images come to life.  I just love the new blendabilites and can't wait to see more and more colors come out in the future.  I used the standard A2 card size and trimmed the opposite corners with a my corner rounder punch.  These are just a few of the items that I used to create the Sympathy Card pictured below.

 Remember, just because it is a background stamp, doesn't mean it has to be used only as a background.  Get those creativity juices flowing and have a wonderful CRAFTERNOON !!!

In my Opinion:  Although the clear stamps are less expensive, I prefer the wood stamps for large backgrounds.  It makes it much easier and less messy.  Plus it's always ready with very little prep time.

Crayon Resist Technique | Stampin' Up! Fun

Hi Beauties~

Today I needed to make a card for a dear friend today.  Sadly, she had to make a hard decision for her doggie today.

 

Here is a close up, so you really see the white from the crayon resist technique.

 

I knew I wanted to use the crayon resist technique that I have seen for years and years, so I decided to have you come along for the ride.


If you haven't tried this technique, you really should, you can come up with some great cards and backgrounds.  Try it for Halloween, and check out the newest Photopolymer Stamps that would go great with this technique!
