Jar of Love

If you are a regular here to my blog, you know I have an obsession with jars. I collect antique canning jars and own probably every jar stamp and die that is out there. Well, not really . . . but probably more than what I need. A jar is a jar right?! Noooooo! Lol!

Jar of Love from Stampin Up is my favorite set of jar stamps and dies. I love the sizes, sentiments, and the little touches you can add from this set. The possibilities are endless.

Supplies:

Stamps - Jar of Love Stampin Up, Watercolor Trio Stampin Up
Ink - Basic Black, Pool Party, Certainly Celery, Rose Red, Pink Pirouette - Stampin Up
Patterned Paper - Dear Lizzy Neapolitan American Crafts
Cardstock - Whisper White Stampin Up
Dies: Jar of Love Stampin Up

Happy stamping!

Get Crackin'

Have you challenged your stamping capabilities lately? I have not and decided I need to try something new.

I've been a fan of the cracked glass look, but was too intimidated to give the technique a try. Silly me! Not only was it easy, but super cool! I had a blast and made a bunch of cards.

I stamped a branch from the Stampin' Up! Watercolor Trio set three times slightly overlapping each one. I used the colors Bashful Blue & Certainly Celery from the Stampin' Up! Subtles collection. They are nice soft colors for the look I wanted to achieve. I sponged the edges in the Bashful Blue and the began the cracked glass process. Click HERE for the tutorial. My favorite part is when you take it out of the freezer and begin cracking. Love it!

Let me know if you try the cracked glass technique or if you've done it before?

Don't forget to e-mail me if you are interested in my Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Share. There are still some shares left.

Now get crackin' and happy stamping!

Watercolor Trio

Watercolor Trio is by far my most favorite set from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. It's all inclusive - images with three different sentiments.

Curious as to how I stamped with various colors? I used the Stampin' Up! Many Marvelous Markers brush tip to add color directly onto the stamp where I wanted it. It's very easy and gives amazing results.

Happy Anniversary

I am approaching my 12 year wedding anniversary. Boy, that is a long time! Last November I celebrated my 10 year anniversary at my place of employment. Sounds like I'm getting old, doesn't it? Let's not go there.

I made this anniversary card for my husband. The background stamp is Stampin' Up! Tres Chic and the flowers are from Watercolor Trio.

I did some sponging on this card to give it a soft, delicate effect. All you do is take a sponge and dab it on your ink pad to collect some ink, then sponge the ink on your cardstock. To achieve darker color in some areas, just sponge over the same area several times.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! All Holidays set.

Have a great day and happy stamping!
