Flourishes Poinsettia

I was so impressed with Laura's, Becca's, Cindy's, and Rainy's poinsettias that I had to have one too! So, knowing I couldn't hope to equal, but wanted to try:

1. The flower was stamped twice and the leaves three times each and then heat embossed to set the ink. They were painted with watercolors and them cut out with cuticle scissors. You heard me, yep, that's what I used. The curved tips help me to go in and out of curved areas without slowing down too much.

2. The white background was embossed and then the Scor-It was used to give a linear tile look to it. The background paper behind it is actually a light Gold.

3. The lace edge was punched and then taped on top and mounted just under the rim of the White Gold paper. I used left over pieces for the corners. If you click on the picture and look carefully at the bottom right corner you can just see it. I could have mitered it, but I thought it was a bit too detailed, even for me. ;-) That was then laid on the largest piece of White Gold paper.

4. The petals of the bottom layer of poinsettia were slightly curled around a pencil and then mounted with a large pop dot in the center of the card. The next layer was curled and layered with another pop dot. The leaves were curled a little and mounted with leftovers from around the pop dots. One of my 'Green' contributions. This was all then mounted on a 5.25X10.5 piece of folded cardstock.

5. The white 3mm pearls were added to the center and then dyed. (I keep a Niji waterbrush filled and marked with Alcohol Blending Solution. I store it brush side up and marked with a Sharpie.) I used yellow alcohol ink to paint the pearls by touching the tip of the brush to the dried ink on the inside of the cap and around the tip of the bottle. It really doesn't take much at all. Then Diamonds glitter glue was applied to give a little sparkle and to tone down the yellow a little. It sparkles faintly, giving it a whimsical look.

6. The bow was tied Martha Stewart style and mounted with large glue dots.

7. A piece of the White Gold paper was die cut for the label. The center of the die was used to draw a center for it from a leftover end of the white embossed background. Then it was put under (outside) the embossing folder and run through the Cuttlebug to flatten it out. The pattern can still be seen, while giving a clearer stamped impression. Then the words were stamped on it and heat set to dry them. The label was mounted and then 5mm pearls added.

8. I stamped the smaller Poinsettia inside on the top part of the card with a flourish diagonally at each end. The same was done on the lower left hand corner of the envelope. I didn't take a picture. :-( I used yellow glitter glue for the centers and painted them with the same colors I used on the card.

Supplies:

Image:
- Neenah Paper Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80 lb. cardstock - (2) 4.25X5.5 and 5.25X10.5 (Folded Card)
- Flourishes - Poinsettia and Boxwood
- Brilliance Galaxy Gold
- Twinkling H2O's Garnet and Mallard Green applied with a Niji waterbrush

- Neenah Paper Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80 lb. cardstock 4.25X5.5
- Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Textile Texture

Embellishments:

- Stickles Diamonds and Yellow Glitter Glue
- Ribbon from Michaels Christmas section eons ago. I bet they still carry it. It is very close to the color of the White Gold paper.

So, there you have it. I think mine has more vibrant colors and theirs are more soft and feminine. The veins on my leaves show up, and IRL you can see them on the petals too. It was fun! My own itty bitty challenge. Hee hee.

Parade of Trees #3 I Think

I've seen people using the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Lace Tree, and was really taken with the different images in it. So naturally I had to paint it. I used a needle nose plastic bottle to apply the glue for the glitter. The Lace Tree was trimmed with scissors and mounted with glue dots. The Stickles glitter glue and the pearls were applied just before the bow was done. The bow at the top of the tree was done using the Martha Stewart method.

The ribbon up the side was done using the Japanese Stab Binding technique as shown below. I only did the cardfront and not the inside folded card. You may get a better idea of what I did by reading this Bibliophile I was able to find. Please keep in mind I only did the top cardfront layer. Supplies:
Image:
- Neenah Paper Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80 lb. cardstock - 4.25X5.5 and 5.5X11

- Twinkling H2O's Jasper Red and Sweet Alfalfa applied with a Niji waterbrush
- Stickles Yellow Glitter Glue
- 3-D Glitter Glue - I suggest one that dries clear.

- Large Pop Dots and the leftovers around the dots
- May Arts Sheer Iridescent Dark Red Ribbon

Google Commenting Made Easier

I went to another Blogger's site and when I went to comment, a page with the card right above the comments popped up, just like on Typepad, etc. So here is how you do it. As Deb would say, 'Easy Peasy'.

Commenting made easier as of October 22, 2008. This feature puts the comment form at the bottom of each post page, below the comments, instead of on the separate, Blogger-styled page.

To enable the embedded comment form for your blog, go to:
1. Your Dashboard
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Comments
4. Go down to Comment Form Placement Setting
5. Click on Embedded before post
6. Go to the bottom of the page and click on Save Your Settings

and you are done. The good of this is you can look at the post images by rolling your cursor up. It may not be as fast on those blogs where there are tons of posts, but I think I am going to love it. Google has made it the default setting on all new blogs, but you can easily change that if you want to do so.

Just thought you should know. I think I better start getting Google Blog updates in a feed. Thanks for stopping by the blog to look and share.

I was just informed that this is Breast Cancer Awareness month when I visited Country Blessings. I have the logo near the top of my sidebar so you can click on it. Not only will it take you to their site, but for each click an organization will match your click with money to provide mammograms to those who could otherwise not be able to afford them. Thank you so much for that. I will leave it there as long as it is getting clicks. It would be great if you did it each time you came to visit or you could add it to your site. I click on it once daily.

Second In The Parade Of Trees

For some reason I am using a lot of Christmas tree stamps lately. I have to also say I have a heck of a time getting a good photo, even without the flash, on cards with rhinestones or glitter. The ribbon really does match the glitter more and the rhinestones match the edge of the ribbon perfectly. The tree was stamped on cardstock and heat embossed to dry the ink. Glitter Glue was applied and then the glitter. The image was cut out when the glitter dried.

The background paper was embossed with the Cuttlebug and folder. It was mounted to the dark purple cardfront. The smaller image was stamped 5 times on cardstock and then glitter glue and glitter applied. They were cut out when dry and mounted with glue.

The main image was mounted with large pop dots and left over pop material as shown. Glue was used to mount the smaller images randomly around the tree. The ribbon was tied using the Martha Stewart method and then mounted with a large glue dot. The lavender rhinestones were mounted last.

Supplies:

Images:
-Neenah Paper Classic Craft Natural Super Smooth 80 lb. cardstock 4.25"X5.5" (tree); 2 1/8"X2.75" (smaller image); 5.5"X8.25" (card) folded.
-Impression-Obsession: Swirl Tree and/or Leigh Hannan Snowflakes (which includes a smaller tree and the Smaller Image)
-Brilliance Galaxy Gold
-3-D Glitter Glue - I suggest one that dries clear.
-Art Institute Glitter: Ultrafine Transparent Nirvana

-Bazzill: Lilac/Fairy Dust

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by 'the blog' to look and share.

Another Beautiful RAK From a Dear TJ Friend

I've had this wonderful RAK for a few days. I thought the sender, Deb Lovett, was on vacation away from home and I wanted to wait to post until she returned. She was home feeding her habit on Scrapbook pages, etc. So let me say thank you to a wonderful TJ friend who has always been there when I had questions about techniques and newsletters. The background is a beautiful paisley pattern. She has sprayed the background behind the butterfly too, and the verse is one of my favorites by a really favorite person too. Thanks again Deb for the lift your card brought me.

Too funny! I went to knock something off my keyboard and it published my post before I wanted to do it. Thanks for stopping by 'the blog' to look and share.

Holly Angel

I fell in love with the Adriana Cirstea Angels when I saw them posted on the American Stamps blog. So I ordered 5 for now. (Smile) The owner was kind enough to let me purchase them unmounted with repositionable cling. Tooooo sweet! Thank you again if I should be so lucky you read this.

The image above was stamped on white cardstock.. The effects for the holly leaf were done with Twinks Solar Gold that matches the ink used to stamp the image. Then the image was painted. Red rhinestones were added to the leaf and the lower hem portion of the gown. The edges were rounded with a punch. The edges were sponged with dye ink for effect. It was mounted on green cardstock. An Ex-acto knife was used to cut around the leaf. It was lifted for effect with a piece of a pop dot. The slots were punched for the ribbon.

The background was embossed and painted with twinks on the raised portion. The corners were rounded. The edges were sponged with dye ink. Rhinestones and glitter glue were added intermittently on the Holly Berries. Then it was mounted on the Green cardstock. The leftover corners from the punched areas were mounted to the corners.

The ribbon was mounted though slots on the main image and then attached on the back of the Green background. The knots were then tied. A Snowflake charm was attached with a glue dot and a Red rhinestone was added in the middle. I know the rhinestone on the snowflake is crooked here and it has been corrected. Ha!

The inside left of the card (folded white cardstock) was put thorough the Cuttlebug with the background image. Then it was taken out and the whole card was laid under the closed folder and it was put though again to flatten the embossed image. It is just there faintly enough to see all of the image. You could still write on it if you chose. I did the envelope lower left corner the same way. A really wonderful look.

Swirls And Pearls

Glitter drives me crazy sometimes. It never looks in a photo like it does IRL. Anyway, the image was stamped on white cardstock and then glitter was used to fill in the swirls. I worked with the lightest color first, then pink, then gold. The tree has snowflakes, but I chose to used a die to mount them over the ones already there. I used the two on the right and cut them down. The one on the top was used for the larger ones. Large Pop Dots were used just below the snowflake on top and then the right and left swirls on the bottom and the center top of tree trunk.

The background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I am trying to do more layers. Most of my images are too big to do a lot of it. I used an oval punch for the words and then Magic Matter to do the edge seen around it. The circles on the outside frame are from snowflakes I cut down for the tree. They are from the one on the right on the die below.
The regular dots were made with a White Signo Uni-ball pen. The ribbon is May Arts and I love it. I love how easy it was to use. Glitter glue and pearls were added to the tree snowflakes, the brass snowflake and the tag for the final touches.

I decorated the inside of my card and envelope with the embossing folder and painted with Twinkling H2O's Iridescent Gold so it matched the BG area.

New Zigen Stamps

The above image is one of Kodomo Inc.'s new Zigen stamp line. They come mounted on acrylic block with a colored picture on the back and with white rubber. I am trying to get Kodomo to offer them unmounted with repositionable cling. I told them without the acrylic they would be more 'GREEN' because most of us already have the mounts. If you would like to also ask, here is their email: angelashu9688@sbcglobal.net Here is Kodomo Art's site. You can also email them from their site.

I bought mine at Stamp Desires because they had the cheapest at that time at $12.60 instead of the normal $14.00. As of today, I see that Hanko Designs has them on sale for $11.95.

The image was stamped on Neenah Solar White. Their 80lb. cardstock doesn't ball up when painting with watercolors unless you really abuse it. The image was painted with watercolors and embellished with glitter glue and Lumiere.

A butterfly was punched using Japanese paper. Clear rhinestones were added for the body and some glitter glue was added to the wing edges. The ribbon is from eons ago. Dew Drops were added at opposite ends of the image.

The matte for the image is Navy cardstock. A a napkin someone gave me somewhere in the past was used for the main background. IRL the flowers really match the ribbon, some of the napkin and the Dew Drops.

The background is actually a technique I knew as a 'Hot Card'. It is also known as 'Paper Napkin Transfer'. Michelle Wedemeyer has video taped the technique HERE. Her blog is called Michelle's Rubber Room. Thank you for your video Michelle. The only thing I had to change was how hot to heat the iron and that was a minor thing. Mine had to be on Cotton.

Supplies:
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80lb cover cardstock -4.25X5.5" (trimmed to 3"X4.75 after painting image) and 5.5X8.5 folded for card.

Stamp Positioner With Twinks "Easy Peasy"

Supplies:
-Any Stamp Positioner or Stamp-A-Ma-Jig
-Watercolor Paper/Good quality Cardstock
-Rubber Stamp with Wood/Acrylic mount
-Watercolors of choice

Step 1. I find stampers either love stamp positioners or hate them. I am kind of in between. I will tell you to have one that is heavy enough to help keep it in place. The first one on the far left above, with the ruler and rubber bottom, stays in place, but it allows the cardstock to move under it. See the purple Stamp-A-Ma-Jig on the far right. It doesn't work for me either. I had 2 and gave them both away.

The one is the middle is my favorite. Its heavy enough to help me keep it in place and it doesn't allow the cardstock to move underneath it. So place your cardstock in the bottom corner of the Positioner. It will always be here throughout your painting. you can trim it down before or after. I usually find it easier to do it after.

If you use an image mounted to an acrylic block, then make really sure it is mounted snugly. If it moves off the block then the whole image will be wrong and you will find out quickly.

Step 2. Select the watercolors you are going to use. Mine for the stamp shown are listed below. I use a Niji waterbrush because I don't have to mess with the water wells. I paint only one or two colors at a time. An example would be the Lemon Yellow and I never paint two colors next to each other unless I want them to bleed into each other. If I remember right, I painted the leaves of this first and then the flowers I clean the stamp after each color (s).

Another thing I don't do is spray or 'mist' the pot of paint. If I am going to need more paint I squeeze a drop or two in one corner of the pot. I like to control the consistency with the brush. If I want a wash I swipe the color slightly and twist the brush around on the edge of the pot, so the color spreads in the brush and the color isn't as intense. If I want a more intense color, I pick up the color by rolling my brush length wise on the color and watch to see the depth of the color and saturation.

So for this image I loaded the end of my brush and painted the colors. If I need to wet the paint on the rubber before stamping, I might mist it very very lightly.

The rest of the card was done and assembled as listed below.

This card reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody. Well, maybe not!!! Ha! The background was cuttled, painted, then trimmed and mounted at an angle on the shown lavender paper.

The flowers image was painted and then put through the Cuttlebug using a Spellbinders die. The stack was:

1. B Plate on bottom (The B plate that gets torn up with the dies)
2. The image facing up
3. The die facing down (So it cuts into the B plate)
4. The C Plate (for the right pressure).

The edge across the top was done with a punch. The scalloped BG paper was then put though the Cuttlebug with the next size up or largest die. The image was mounted on the larger BG paper. A slot punch was used on both sides of the the image as shown. ATG tape was used to mount the image at the angle shown. (This completes the cardfront with the exception of the word and ribbon.)

The ribbon was mounted upper left first and then put through the slot and threaded through to the other slot. The ribbon actually changes color depending on how the light hits it, as you can see in the photo. (A crochet hook was used though the right side to lift the image a little and make it easier for the ribbon to come through. It was taped to the back of the lower right-hand side as shown. A Martha Stewart Bow was tied and mounted to the ribbon in place with a large glue dot.

The lavender paper was put thought the Cuttlebug using the smallest of the rectangle dies. Then the center of the die was used to trace the white CS needed and then cut out by hand. The words were stamped, mounted to the BG paper and then to the cardfront as shown. The gold thread, bling, and glitter glue were added for sparkle.

The supplies are listed below:
Background:
Bazzill Bling Serendipity 4.25"X5.5"
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80lb cover cardstock -4.25X5.5" (trimmed to 4.0X5.25

Stickles Diamonds Glitter Glue
Gold Embroidery Thread unknown source
May Arts Ribbon Iridescent Green/Blue Look at the picture and see how this ribbon changes colors, almost like a Chameleon. I have 4 colors of this type of ribbon and I love it.

If you haven't guessed, more people wanted the supplies at the end. I am going to try and do that from now on, unless it makes more sense for some reason to change it now and then.....And by the way, 'Easy Peasy' is a Deb thing and I love it! Check her out!

2 Wonderful Awards from 2 Wonderful Bloggers

I received 2 wonderful awards. The first one comes from a dear friend I met in the Yahoo group at Technique Junkies and is the I Love Your Blog Award. Her name is Terri and her blog is Life with Terri. Besides blogging, she also has an Etsy shop. The rules for her award are to link back to her, name 7 things about myself (I just did this last week and you can find them HERE :-), and then name 7 people to receive the award. Thank you Terri and I love your blog too.

The second award is from another dear Technique Junkie friend, Vicki Potter. Her blog is called Orion Designs. One thing about Vicki that is different is that she makes jewelry. She lives in Alaska and sells on Etsy. How cool is that. The rules for her award are the same as for the award above, except I don't have to tell on myself.
Ladies, I want to thank each of you for these awards. I love the awards, its the time to find people who want the award and have the time to research others who deserve it, but haven't received it. So here is my decision on these two awards. I believe anyone who has a blog and creates deserves either of these two awards. You may have the award and must link back to here and then either name 7 people or do what I have done. There, that made me feel like Queen For A Day, and if you remember Art Linkletter too, you may be too old to blog. LOLOLOLOL NOT.

Thanks for stopping by 'the blog' to check up on me.
