SCRAPS & STAMPS TIPS:

– The card was inspired by one of the projects from Stampin’ Up! magazines that demonstrators/hobby stampers receive. This magazine is one of my favorite things to read, it is packed with full of techniques and inspirations. I simply took the main cover project and decided to recreate a card in a different way.

– I used a piece of Watercolor Paper (#122959) to be a main canvas for the card. I inked up the Another Thank You Photopolymer Stamp Set (#133454) sentiment in a Versa Mark Ink Pad (#102283) and stamped on the paper.

– Then, I used the White Embossing Powder (#109132) to heat set the sentiment. You are going to love this look when you get your hand on the process – heat embossing is so much fun! The middle part of the sentiment didn’t get stamped on well because of the texture on the watercolor paper, but I think it adds more interest to the card so I decided to leave it as is.

– After the heat embossing, I took our Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) bottle, filled it up with rubbing alcohol, and added generous amount of Soft Sky Reinker (#131161) drops. You can add less or more depending on the intensity you are going for. Shake the bottle well after adding the drops, and spray on the paper! Watercolor paper is great because it curls much less and using alcohol instead of water also helps. You will soon find out the sentiment pops out because it is resisting the liquid due to the heat embossing. 2 techniques in 1 – awesome project!

– To add more colors, I used a small heart image from the same stamp set and stamped few of the hearts in Wisteria Wonder Ink Pad (#126985). Also added Whisper White Baker’s Twine (#124262) and the Vintage Faceted Designer Button (#127555) on the top.

There you go! I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Make sure to watch today’s video tutorial below!!

    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 💕 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 🥰🥰 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. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 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 💕

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. 😅 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 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 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 🥰🥰 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 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 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 😂) 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 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    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
