Stained Leaves

Hi and welcome to my blog! A couple of weekends ago I went on a fun stamping retreat where I worked on some challenges on a stamping board. This was one submission where we were supposed to to use the "kissing" stamping technique. You can see the technique on the leaves underneath. I wanted a shadow effect so I fussy cut the leaves again and used Distress Stains to color them. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Technique Tuesday -- Sticky Ribbon

Welcome back once again to Sparkle n Sprinkle Technique Tuesday. Today I want to show you a cute way to use sticky ribbon.

Supplies :

light card stock -- I used yellow with a light polka dot pattern
bright sticky ribbon
scissors
purple ink
sponge
Oh Hoppy Day stamp
Black detail embossing powder EP171
Versa Mark ink
circle punch
white card stock

Cut a strip of green for the flower stem and stick to card.

Cut a leaf shape out of the green sticky ribbon and adhere beside the stem.

Start cutting strips from the different colors of ribbon to build the flower.

Stamp the saying on white card stock using Versa Mark ink. Add black embossing powder and heat. Punch out saying with circle punch and ink edges with purple ink. Pop dot to the center of the flower.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have fun making your own flower. Hopefully this will inspire you to make some Easter cards. It is right around the corner!

Technique Tuesday -- Diamond Pop Out Fold

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Technique Tuesday! I hope you are having a good day. I have had a wonderful weekend! I went on a stamping retreat for four days with Marie ( one of our SNS designers ) and other stamping pals! We stamped, played games, ate and had a great time. We even had a surprise snowstorm for a couple of hours. It was beautiful seeing the snow come down.

Today I am showing how to make a diamond pop out card. This card is fun for all ages. I decided to make mine a male card.

Supplies:

patterned paper or plain to stamp or decorate
score pad
embellishments ( optional )
saying stamp

I made a 5 "x 5" card base. If you are making a card this size then cut your patterned paper 6" x 6".

You will need to score down the middle of this at 3 inches. Turn and score down the middle again at 3 inches and then score one diagonal as shown.

Next fold it up like this. This is hard to explain, but hopefully you can see the idea by the picture.

Adhere the top and bottom flaps inside the card like this. Stamp saying and embellish.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
