Magical Day-Miscellaneous Monday

  I made it!!!!  Electricity went out for several hours, recovering from a stomach bug and I still am able to get my blog entry for today online.  Yeah!!!

I can't wait to share the cards I have made using this fun stamp set.  

 Today's card uses items from the Myths and Magic suite from the Occasions catalog.  

1. The designer paper is called Myths and Magic and has some sparkly stars in the background. 

2. The Unicorn is stamped and cut out with a matching framelit.  I had to use some Wink of Stella on that cute little animal to make him sparkle also.

3. The saying came from the stamp set in the Annual catalog called You are Remarkable.  Wouldn't you agree that a Unicorn is remarkable?

4, The thin strip of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper and the heart ad d the last bit of glimmer to the card.  

Tomorrow I will share I card using the masking technique and the dragon from the stamp set.

Slider Card-Wednesday Wow

  If one slider is good then two sliders must be great.  There is a hidden stop behind the layer so that the two snowflakes don't bump into each other.  I used Wisteria Wonder, and Elegant Eggplant as my colors.  The added rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella glam the card up a bit.

  Come back tomorrow to see several cards made from the same layout.

Shaker card Wednesday Wow

I just love the cute little fireflies.  This card was so much fun to make.  What made it so easy was using the thinlits that matched the images in the Jar of Love stamp set.  Notice that the lid is not attached and some of the fire flies have escaped..

Supplies used

Lucky Stars embossing folder
Jar of Love stamp set
Everyday Jars framelits
Vellum card stock
Gold Wink of Stella
Night of Navy card stock
Daffodil Delight ink

Come back tomorrow  to see how easy it is to make a shaker card and just change up a few elements.

Fresh Fruit-Technique Tuesday

   This pear looks good enough to eat.  It uses the double rock and roll technique.

1. Ink the stamp using Pear Pizzazz and then stamp off on scrap paper before stamping on the card.

2. Ink the stamp a second time using the Pear Pizzazz full strength by rolling the edges of the stamp into the same color ink. 

3.  Since this is a photo polymer stamp set you can look through the stamp and stamp it on top of the first image.  When you look at the stamped image the rock and rolling makes some great shading on the final image.

4. The background is made using the clear Wink of Stella mixed with a little bit of Daffodil Delight ink.

This simple but fun technique can be used on solid stamps to give a 3-D look.  

Come back tomorrow to see a WOW card we made in Champaign at the Vacation Stamping School.

Garden in Bloom Miscellaneous Monday

 The retired stamp set list is out!  I was thrilled to find out that Garden in Bloom will be around another year.  So, this week I am going to show you 5 different ways you can use this set.  
  Today is just an ordinary layout, stamp, saying, and some Wink of Stella to glimmer up the flower and butterflies.  
  Come back tomorrow to see a technique that will use other images from this set and give off a totally different look.
