This background technique is done with the inch by inch sized STAMPIN' SPOTS. You can purchase them in four different colour family sets.
The background in this card is done with colours from the #119715 NEUTRAL SET, 8 for $19.95.
Choose three or more coordinating STAMPIN'SPOTS ink pads. Take the lightest of the chosen colours and randomly press onto a piece of glossy cardstock #102599 (25 sheets for $7.25). Take a paper towel and rub over the ink spots to spread the colour around. Repeat this prosess with the next colour up to the darkest shade last.
Don't forget to rub with a paper towel in between colours to help smooshing the colours around. Continue until the cardstock is fully covered with ink.
This is the technique we will be playing with tonight at our DROP IN and CLUB stamping. Email me, if you would like to join us at 7:30pm tonight. Cost for drop in is $5 for a technique sample and a 2nd craft project.

The new BUILD - A - PUNCHES from Stampin'Up feature several possible layers by using only one punch, but different coloured cardstock.
#117191 - two step bird punch, #121807 cupcake punch and #118074 owl punch are some of these new punches. With only $23.95 are they affordable additions to your collection. To order any punches during Sale-a-Bration go to my website and start choosing from a large variety for your online purchases...
Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to your cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. You can glue punched shapes directly onto your projects or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect.
Use these adorable purses for Valentine, Mother's day or a friend - they make great focal points on greeting cards for different occasions.
You start by using the #119864 Round Tab Punch, $23.95.
I then texture the punched paper with the #117335 Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, $10.95 and the #113439 Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, $132.95. I attach the ribbon with scotch tape to the inside of the cardstock before folding the "purse" in half and holding both sides together with a brad.
Here is a finished sample of a greeting card:

Give something sweet today with this quick little matchbox.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY everyone!
Stamp Set: Artistic Etchings
This little piggy...
is not even 2 inches high. It fits one little chocolate treat for any special person around you.
Start with a strip of #119796 BLUSHING BRIDE cardstock, that measures 5"X 1-1/2.
Score at 2" and 3" and use a handheld punch to punch two holes at the top for the ribbon. I used the #108362 CROP-A-DILE, $39.95 which also has a build in eyelet setter. Use the #119873 3/4" CIRCLE punch, $15.95, for the snout and feet (one circle cut in half). The heart eyes are punched out with the #119881 HEART TO HEART punch, $23.95, using the very sparkly #121790 GLIMMER PAPER from the Occasion Mini, 2 sheets for $4.95. The ribbon I used to tie it closed is the #119260 Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, 10 yards for $8.25.
Enjoy and HAPPY STAMPING,
Both pictures definitely capture a part of our trip home. The first picture shows my Mom and my daughter on one of our many outings together and the bottom one shows a typical street in Dusseldorf. I actually took this one for my husband, to show him that my home town is always worth a trip, we now even have an APPLE outlet. It really shows the cobblestones and brick houses you'll find everywhere around town.
Back with an easy Valentine treat craft tomorrow.

The FLIP STRIPS are most effective on GLOSSY WHITE cardstock. However, it also looks amazing on black cardstock with stamped images in white craft ink or as a BLACK and WHITE card only.
Instructions:
Start by stamping random images onto a rectangle of GLOSSY cardstock. Then add some colour with a sponge into the empty spaces between the stamped images. Cut this piece of cardstock into 1 inch strips. Turn or flip every other strip and adhere in an equal distance to a contrasting piece of cardstock.
