Remarkable You-Technique Tuesday



   Notice the leaves on this card.  Do you see the variation in the color on the leaves.  This was done using the Rolling Reinkers technque.  Check out the video below to see how it is done.

I used Always Artichoke and Garden Green reinkers.



For this card I used the new in-color Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride reinkers.


 Peek a boo Peach and Cajun craze are the reinkers I used for this card.


  This final card is the one that is featured in my latest youtube video.  I would love it if you would check out my channel and follow me.  Just go to youtube, then Sue Scheets and you will see my videos.  With the one I will be posting later on today my grand total is now 5.  

For this card I used Perfect Plum and Rich Razzleberry reinkers.  This is a really fun technique that you should try.  I would love to see your card samples.

Come back tomorrow to see a Wow card made with this versatile and fun set

I am having major problems with my video so look tomorrow and hopefully I can get the problem fixed.

Remarkable You-Miscellaneous Monday



   Something happened Friday and my post did not get posted.  So you will have 2 to look at today.  I did not realize it was not there until last night.  Hmmm is this something I can blame on being 70?  That is the one good thing I can think of for being older, now I can blame my mistakes on my age.  

   This week I am featuring the stamp set Remarkable You.  I like the bold look of the images and think they coordinate really well with the Watercolor Words sayings.  What do you think?

   I was inspired by a card I saw posted by Brian King.  Here is how I made the look.

1. I used the Woodgrain embossing folder and then rubbed a sponge inked with Chocolate Chip ink all over the embossed image.

2. I stamped the leaves and some extra leaves on Wild Wasabi card stock.  

3. I fussy cut the leaves, the Happy Birthday and layered them on top of the embossed image.

  Come back tomorrow for my next video.  It is for a technique called rolling reinkers.  I will use each one of the images in this set in my video.  If you enjoy the video please subscribe to my channel, like and share the video.

Botanical Blooms-Fix It Friday



  I received this card in a swap at a recent Stampin'Up! event and loved the simplicity of it. At my second glance, I realized the small heart punch is retired as is the designer paper.  So, I decided this was a perfect card to fix on a Friday.



Here is what I changed......

  Pop of Pink designer paper
  Botanical Blooms flowers
  Saying from Thoughtful Banners stamp set

All of these items can be found in the new catalog and ordered from my website.  Just click on the link on the home page of this blog and you will be in my store.

Another fun week with lots of card items to be made using the Botanical Blooms stamp set.




 Come back next week to see what I make using the stamp set Remarkable You.  

Tuesday, June 7th I will be posting my next you tube video using the Rolling Reinkers technique.  Just go to youtube and look for the Sue Scheets channel.

Have a great weekend, and let me know if you need a new catalog.  I know I will be bookmarking all my favorites in my catalog  whenever I have a chance to sit down.

Botanical Blooms-Template Thursday


  Where did the day go?  If you were like me, some of the day was spent drooling through the new catalog.  So today, I am concentrating only on the leaves of this stamp set Botanical Blooms.  The flowers seem to be the main focus, but the leaves are really neat also.

  For the first card I decided to use the new in-color Emerald Envy as the card base color.  And then I added some of the colors we already are able to use as the leaves.

    Mint Macaroon
    Pear Pizazz and    As you can see this card just uses the inks.
    Cucumber Crush

   I wanted to see what they would look like together.  The saying is from Watercolor words.


  For this second card I decided to try 3 additional greens and this time use the card stock and the vein stamps.  I stamped each vein in the same color as the card stock.

    Old Olive
    Always Artichoke
    Garden Green

   The saying is from the set called Suite Sayings.  So what do you think?  There are several greens that I think would look great together with our new in-color Emerald Envy.

Come back tomorrow to see how I fixed a card I made a month ago by using more new products.

Botanical Blooms-Wednesday Wow


  What is it about white on white that makes it so stunning.  I found this card on Pinterest posted from the blog called starlightstamper.com and thought it was so beautiful. There is not too much more to say about this card.  Word stamp is from Wetlands stamp set.  The metal rimmed pearls are in the new catalog and give the card a great finished look.

  Today the new catalog is live!  I placed my order at 5 AM so that I could get the new stuff soon.  I will be having a new catalog open house to show off the new catalog items I especially love.  Stop by if you are in the area.  Saturday, June 11th 12:30-3:30.

  Come back tomorrow to see how I use the leaves in this set in a totally different way.
