March 7, 2013

Let’s start our Thursday with Pals Paper Art’s Color Challenge. If you are looking to challenge your creativity and get yourself out of the comfort zone, our Pals bi-weekly challenges are perfect for you. It surprises me how much I struggle to come up with something when participating in them. It helps me grow my creativity every single time!

I originally inteded to create something warm-feeling cards, as the provided colors represent warmth, but my result came out totally unexpected. It gives me more of a bright and strong feeling. But I do love it!

Scraps & Stamps TIP:

– Cool effects on Very Vanilla card stock is created by using the Color Spritzer. I have been very into misting and cool effects lately, so I wanted to use the tool more. Color Spritzer is cool because you can use our Stampin’ Up! Markers to create just as good effects like using spray mists and re-inkers. If you are in a hurry and don’t want to get your fingers all inked up, this is going to be your best friend!

– Cute sentiments are from our spring catalog hostess stamp set called Stack of Wishes. I just got this stamp set yesterday and loving it already! Get it for FREE with your orders!

– Colored pearls? They are super easy to create! Some use Sharpies to color them, but you can use Stampin’ Up! makers to coordinate with the rest of your project. To make sure the colors don’t smuge, you would want to finish it with the clear nail polish. I used Primrose Petals maker on these Basic Jewel Pearls.

Supplies List:

  • Very Vanilla Card Stock
  • Crumb Cake Card Stock
  • Sent with Love DSP
  • Stack of Wishes Stamp Set
  • Staz-On Black Ink Pad
  • Primrose Petals Marker
  • Basic Jewel Pearls
  • Ovals Framelits Collection
  • Color Spritzer
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • SNAIL Adhesive

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season πŸ’• sending hugs and loves to your way ❀️❀️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view πŸ₯°πŸ₯° New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now πŸ’•

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. πŸ˜… Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not πŸ˜‚) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
