Celebrate Today with the Starburst Technique & Itty Bitty Epoxy Stickers

This Celebrate Today card uses the Starburst Technique and our Itty Bitty Epoxy Stickers. I was so excited when I received the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers in the mail today. I received them from my mentor, Karen Titus, for participating in a Facebook party she held for her team last Saturday. Several of us received them and were challenged to make a card and share it on our team Facebook page. I had already created this card for my Techniques and Cards Class, tonight, at Panera Bread On Rt 59 & 95th Street in Naperville. I have been debating on what to put in the center of the card and was SO excited to get these in the mail. They are perfect!! I will be sharing a tutorial video next Tuesday, March 10 on creating this card and how to do the Starburst Technique. I don’t usually share the same technique as I do in class but I just HAD to share this one! ~That’s how excited I was to get these! I had already gotten a set but colored them all with my Blendabilities, of course not one matched.

Celebrate Today with Starburst TechniqueOur Tangerine Tango & White two toned twine (135838) was another perfect touch for this card.

Yee-Haw on a colored photograph

I shared this card on my video the other day to create this cute card with the Yee-Haw stamp set. I needed to make a Birthday card for a 10 year old boy and felt this photo was just screaming to be used with this set, don’t you agree?I  colored the picture with the lightest Blendability in the Cherry Cobbler assortment pack so I chose Marina Mist and Real Red cardstock for the card. I stamped the Yee-Haw and Rootin’ Tootin’ in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I fussy cut these out and raised them using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Yee-Haw stamp setWhen my little friend opened his card and looked at it he said,” Hey look mom! It looks like those words are exploding off the card!” Glad he liked it. As you can see, your photos can be used for cards too!

If you haven’t checked out our Photopolymer Stamp Sets recently, check them out here.

Go grab a photograph to color and order the Yee-Haw stamp set, I am sure you know a little one that would love a card that has words exploding off of it!

Be the Star Missing you

Be a star when you use the paper piecing technique with the Be the Star stamp set (w-135731) (c-135734)! You can even use this versatile technique with stamp set images that are partially outline and semi-solid too! Look at the awesome effect you get when using this star image from the Be the Star stamp set. How many of you would have combined Designer Series Paper with this image? Not many I am sure. But you can’t deny that the tiny dots in this Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper (133693)  adds (as mom would say) some oomph!

Be the Star stamp set card

  • I wanted to create a simple background so in came the Lucky Star (135817) embossing folder and our Dazzling Details (124117) to add  interest to the card base.
  • The bird and verse came from the Sweet Stuff (w-134153)(c-134156) stamp set.
  • I used our Stars Framelits(133723) to cut out the Tempting Turquoise layer in the back of the star. This framelit is usually used to cut out the star image but I wanted it as a layer. To accomplish this I “fussy” cut out the star just outside of the stamped outline so I would have the Tempting Turquoise border instead of Whisper White.
  • Love the dimension of this image!!
  • The star seems to be popping right out.

Fall Project

I spent the day yesterday canning salsa~ and I have 3 more bushels of tomatoes to process! Guess you know what I am doing this weekend!! I thought I would take a break this morning and create a few fall projects. Yeah right, your hands are raw from all the acid and your mind is on the Garth Brooks concert I am going to tonight. How much creating do think I could do? Right. Not much. But I was able to play a little bit and am quite happy with the results! Here is one tid-bit  of what I did. I am sharing another tid bit on my Facebook Page.

#FeatherFramelits Isn’t it just sparkly gorgeous??

Technique Tip: I colored our #SilverGlimmerPaper using rubbing alcohol & Tangelo Twist & Elegant Eggplant reinkers. These two elements made this project extra special!  Be sure to check out the other tid bit on my Facebook Page!

Be sure to come back to see what I make with these two elements!
