School Days

I received some new stamps the past few weeks and finally had the opportunity to color one of them.  Tonight I selected 'Oxford' from Mo Manning.  I used my airbrush to color the nail heads and some Distress Ink to soften the edges of the image after I cut it from the Spellbinders Die. Schools days was printed from my computer and added to a couple of Stampin' UP! punches.  All the Supplies are listed below.

Just a NOTE

Today is Yellow and Black day, although the Iowa Hawkeye's lost their football game I will honor them anyway.  I have use a new Hero Arts stamps that I pickup today after the Make-n-Take at All About Pictures.  I had a little free time to browse and look at some of the new arrivals and decided that this should come home with me. I wanted to show you the stamp and that it has a removable sentiment block that can be change depending on the occasion.  Its a great stamp and easy to add a little color with Copics.

I have listed the supplies below for your reference.

Hope

Tonight I have a very simple sympathy card that I put together.  I realized today after going through my stash that my inventory was short of this basic card.  I stamped the image on white paper and embossed with white powder.  Using Ranger Distress Ink I rubbed on several colors then cut the image out with a Spellbinders Die. After a few more layers and some ribbon this card is ready to go.
Hope you enjoy! ~Nancy~

  Ranger Distress Ink - Bundled Sage, Pine Needles, Scattered Straw

Goosebump Ideas

I've been busy the past few days working on table centerpieces for my husbands upcoming family reunion.  I must admit that the thought of making 120 button flowers was a bit daunting, but it went fairly quick last night and my husband joined in by twisting all 120 wire stems needed.  I worked a little late into this morning, but got most everything completed and then finished today.  I hope you enjoy the card tonight and I will show you my flower creations later next week.

Tonight I wanted to share this card that I made with paper created after I cleaned out the sprayer of my Goosebumps bottle.  You should always clear the sprayer after each use, so I have decided that I will just spray a piece of paper and then use it to make a fun background for images.  I used Ranger Distress Ink on the paper, then I stamped the image on top.  You can see that I got a very distressed look.  After cutting the image with a Spellbinders die I adhered the shape to a card base that was embossed by using my Cuttlebug. Finally I added a little more Distress Ink on the embossed surface. Listed below are the Supplies.

Ranger Distress Ink: Vintage Photo, Shabby Shutters
Goosebumps
Spellbinders: Labels Three
Stamped image and Sentiment: Stampin' UP!
Misc: Ribbon

Hugs or Laugh

Today I went back to my scrap bins and pulled out some paper.  I wanted to play around with the new Goosebumps product from Tsukineko.  This product will give you a resist image without heat embossing.  You can spray directly on your stamp, place it in a dabber bottle or this time I spray it on my non-stick craft mat and used a piece of sponge to apply to my stamp.  I liked the way it turned out using it this way.  If you need more information about Goosebumps, go here.

Fun Flowers

I'm trying a few new things today.  Interesting that I have another pink and black card.  I have used a Hero Arts stamps and then my airbrush with a fun stencil.  I have layered 5 colors on the stencil and achieved the look by moving the stencil around a small bit after each color. Oh there are so many possibilities!
