Sealed with Love

Are you ready for some cute Valentine's ideas?  The technique that stole my heart the most was the ombre effect with the sponge brayer.  On any light colored paper, you can create the most beautiful ombre effects.

  This card is for the Casual Stamper.  I purposely placed the items on the card at an angle so I wouldn't have to worry about making things straight.

  This treat bag is for the Avid Stamper.  I used these colors, in this order, to get the ombre effect:  Real Red + Flirty Flamingo + Pink Pirouette.  When doing ombre, I find it's easiest to start with the lightest color first and then work your way to the darkest color.  Gorgeous!

  This treat bag is also for the Casual Stamper.  The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch is for more than making tags.  Punch each side of a strip of paper and write it around a cello bag.  Cute!

Do you have this set?  Show me what you came up with.

 Let me know what you think!

Were you lucky enough to see these samples I made IN PERSON??  Some of the samples were hard to find, ie, they were not actually AT Convention but at the Home Office.  Never fear, I'll be posting everything I created (yep, me, I actually made these, with my own hands - just in case you were wondering) so you can see them up close and personal without having to look around someone's giant poofy hair.

I hope you enjoy my samples.

I seriously love water coloring SO MUCH!

Now you can feel like you were at Convention!  Well, at least you can pretend you saw all the inspiration boards.  Honestly, I didn't even see all the projects that are on the Pinterest board.  The projects must have been hidden somewhere.

February is over.  OVER!

Weird.

If you haven't tried your hand at watercoloring, you MUST!  I am not a painter.  I wouldn't consider myself an artist.  But I can dip paint in water and splatter it around.  That's enough for me.

The key to this type of cardmaking and scrapbooking (watercolor background) is to WAIT until the ink is dry before you stamp anything on it.  Patience is key.

Another helpful hint:  I stamp my little clear block into my ink and then get the ink off the block with my aqua painter.  This keeps the inside if your stamp pad clean AND I think it's easier to get the amount of color you need for your watercoloring.

Did you see my facebook project for the Stampin' Up! board?  In case you missed it, here it is:

I love banners.  Ok, let's be honest, I pretty much love ANYTHING that has been strung together.  When I saw the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper I was mentally transported back to the 3rd grade.  These colors are SO 1992 and now 2014!!

   

To create this banner, just straight stitch your punched images together.

Easy peasy.       

To make these super cute hearts simply punch out the heart, fold it in half, then adhere it to your card.  This way it'll create a great 3-D effect.

Stamps: Love You to the Moon
Ink: Silver Encore Metallic Pad
Paper:  Basic Gray, Silver Glimmer, Modern Medley DSP, Kaleidoscope DSP
Accessories & Tools: Small Heart Punch, Full Heart Punch, Big Shot, Hearts Collection Framelits, On Film Framelits, Glue Dots, Sponge Daubers
