Stamp With Anne

Work of Art Butterfly Card

Hello,

I have heard from many of you that you had a hard time placing an order yesterday since the Stampin' Up! system was down due to technique clinch from the high volume of orders being place. Stampin'Up! has let us know that they have worked out the clinch and all is good now and that you should be able to place an order without any problems. There are still LOTS of great products on the Retiring List still available and the best part some of them are up to 50% off. What a great way to stock up on your favourites!!!

My project today is one that we made last month in our Technique class. Each month we get together to learn a new technique and I show my customers two ways to use that technique. I saw this fun technique on my friend Lyssa's blog and I knew that my customers would love it!! Plus...I was really hoping for Spring weather, so creating with butterflies helped me get into the Springtime mood!!

Butterfly Swash Technique

Starts with a die-cut butterfly, which is then tacked down

onto a plain white car front and stamped directly

over with your "swash" stamp.

The neat thing about this technique is when you lift up the wings on your card, they have a beautiful random colouring on them!!

Did you notice the fun curvy corners? They are done with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch and the sad part is this trio punch is on the retiring list which means it only available till May 31 or until supplies last!!

 

I will be placing orders for each night for the next few days. If you would like to place an order and saving on shipping you can message me your order and I will place them when I get home! If you would like to place your own order ONLINE to guarantee that you get your retiring product, you can do that by heading over to my Canadian ONLINE Store..

You can place your order by using this code  N9BM2EV4. Anyone that places an order with me, I will sending you a little thank you gift in the mail.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening,

Sneak Peak: I think You're Great

Happy Monday!

First, I wanted to let you know that there will be NO Coffee and Cards tomorrow night. I'm starting to feel better but just need one more week to build back up the energy!! I'm hoping to be back to my normal self really soon!! Thanks for being so understanding!!

My project today is a CASE from the new Annual Catalogue that will be making it's grand entry on Tuesday June 2th. You are going to want to mark this day in your calendar as you will be able to order from 3 catties: Occasional, 2014 Annual and the Brand New 2015 Catty!! I already have my wishlist ready to go that day!! Do you have yours ready?

Now on to the card for today...I decide to CASE one of the gorgeous samples (page 130) in the new catty showcase a fun technique called "Kissing."  You are probably thinking...what is she talking about?

Kissing Technique is when you ink a solid image. I inked the "HI" stamp in Bermuda Bay ink and left the pattern image un-inked.

Then you stamp your solid image onto your patterned stamp to transfer the pattern.

Then stamp your project using the solid stamp!!

And that is called the "Kissing Technique!" How fun is that...you can now create tons of new patterned images with the stamps you have in your collection!!

Stampin' Tips:

• Kissing Technique is a really cool way to create your own pattern stamps
• Ink the solid image first, then stamp it on a patterned stamp to transfer the pattern
• Then stamp your project using the solid image
• I think you're great stamp will be available June 2
• Washi tape is from the new Cherry on Top collection
• Watermelon Wonder card stock was used to punch out the heart

Swallowtail Thinking of You Card

Hello,

What a fun night we had last night at the Woman's Hockey game. The stadium was filled with over 200 hockey teams from across Ontario. The best was watching these girls dream that this might be them one day playing for Canada in a World Woman's Hockey game!! It sure inspired my girls!!

I'm having so much fun with fabulous Swallowtail stamp! This time I thought it would be fun to emboss the Swallowtail in Pool Party embossing powder. Wow, it's stunning!!

Stamp: Swallowtail and Sweet Essentials

Ink: Early Espresso

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso

Accessories: Versamark, Pool Party Embossing Powder, Jumbo Rhinestones, and Heat Tool Gun

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Swallowtail Baby Wipe Technique

Hello,

Wow, what fun we had last night at our new monthly Downline Tips and Technique night. We learned about new things happening right now with Stampin' Up!, learned a new technique and made a card with the new A Round Array stamp set!

When I saw the beautiful Swallowtail stamp, I knew that the Baby Wipe Technique would work fabulous with it. This was the technique card that we learned last night.

Baby Wipe Technique: Fold a couple baby wipes to create an ink pad, using re-inkers add a few drops of colour around the baby wipe. Using your stamp, stamp all over the baby wipe to transfer the colour to your stamp. Stamp image and now you have a multicolour butterfly showing a variety of colours!

Stamp: Hey There Friend (Paper Pumpkin)

Ink: Melon Mambo

Card Stock: Whisper White

Accessories: Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Old Olive and Regal Rose Re-inker and Baby Wipes

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

I hope you are having a great day!! I'm having so much fun with the new Swallowtail stamp set. This is stamp is fabulous!!

On my card today, I used the Ghosting Technique. I'm sure you are saying "What is the Ghosting Technique Anne?".

The Ghosting Technique: Stamp image in versamark, and sprinkle with Clear Embossing powder. Shake off excess powder and heat set. Then using a brayer and ink colour of your choice, brayer until you get your desire colour. Wipe off Swallowtail with a tissue to take off excess ink! How cool is that!!!

Supplies used on this card:

Stamp: Swallowtail and Sweet Essential

Ink: Raspberry Ripple

Card Stock: White, Grey and Raspberry Ripple

Accessories: White Taffeta Ribbon, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Versamark Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool Gun, and a Brayer.

Shimmery Daisies Technique

Hello,

I hope you are having a great day! This morning, I had fun stamp with my club ladies. It was a great way to beat this heat wave!

While blog hopping, I came across this cool idea on Dawn's blog. She showed us how to use the new Spritzer spray bottles to create beautiful colour daisies. You fill a spritzer bottle 3/4 full with Rubbing Alcohol (rubbing alcohol dries faster then water), add drops of Re-inker and if you want shimmer add Shimmery Paint. Mix the solutions by rubbing the bottle in your hands.

Tip: When using a dark re-inker, you are going to want to add less re-inker colour and when the colour is light, you will add more re-inker.

Recipe: Whisper White and Certainly Celery card stock, Certainly Celery DSP, Sassy Salutations Stamp set, Paper Daisies, Spritzer Spray Bottles, Raspberry Ripple Re-Inker, Shimmery Paint, Certainly Celery Button and White Baker Twine.

Can you see the shimmer on the daisies, oh it's so pretty!!
