Tutorial Time - Baby Wipes Technique

I have always wanted to try this technique and finally just did it!  Glad I did!  Love it!  You don't need to buy spectrum stamp pads any more with this technique.  There is no music...bummer!  I just don't like the royalty free music, so you will just have to listen to me.  ENJOY!

Tutorial Tuesday - Waterfall Card

I had a few requests for this tutorial and my sister has been bugging me to make one too! This video is a little longer than the rest, but I don't think it will bore you too much! Third time was a charm this week too.






Happy Stamping!

Sketch Challenge 168

I didn't know what to create this morning, so I visited SplitcoastStampers site to check out the card sketch challenge for this week. Here it is:


And here is my card:



I used the new Just Like Me stamp set, because I just got it yesterday and it was sitting on my desk. I need a card for my dad this year, so I am really early on this one. I put pop-dots behind the sentiment to make it stand out on the card. I don't think you can see it (maybe if you enlarge it by clicking the picture), but I used my Spots & Dots Cuttlebug folder on the little outdoor denim paper in the upper right hand corner. For embellishments I used small outdoor denim spirals, outdoor denim ribbon rounds, cranberry bigger brad, natural hemp and to top it off I used a clear inspirational "Love". I chalked the word to make it blue.

Colors used: Outdoor Denim, Cranberry, Bamboo, Crystal Blue and Majestic Blue Level 2 paper pack.

Oh, I forgot to mention to round the bottom corners of the card. I always like the look and forget to do it. I finally remembered. YAY!

Happy Stamping!
