Ombre - Here to Stay


Hi! My posting here has been so sporadic lately. I've kind of accepted that the old bloggo is going to be neglected for the time being and that's okay. I'll just pop in to let you know what I'm up to on other people's blogs :)

Like today, I'm up on the Clearsnap blog with a technique video for creating an ombre background. Love this trend and hope it never, ever goes away.

Okay, see you soon!

Santa Stationary // Clearsnap + Stamps of Life Blog Hop


The Stamps of Life and Clearsnap are having a blog hop featuring The Stamps of Life stamps and Clearsnap inks and other fun products. Be sure you comment on all the stops along the hop because prizes will be randomly chosen among the comments! 
The Stamps of Life will be giving away a prize to 3 lucky people – one stamp set (of the winner’s choice) per winner. 
Clearsnap will be giving away an assortment of Stephanie Barnard Colorbox Premium Dye inks. Enter to win using the widget on the Clearsnap blog and by leaving a comment on each blog in the hop:

I used the borders4me stamp set and the postmarks2stamp along with my favorite inks - Stephanie's Premium Dye Ink colors and the new Sprays! spray ink to put together a stationary set for writing letters to Santa Claus.

The envelope comes pre-addressed to the North Pole and the papers contain the same postmark border. We of course need multiple pages because there is always someone who wants to add to their list or let Santa know about a misbehaving sibling :)


This faux wax seal is so easy to create and really adds an official touch. Emboss several layers of Scentz Embossing Powder in Peppermint and on the final heat set, press your stamp into the hot powder. Just be sure to ink up your stamp with watermark ink or a color to keep the stamp from sticking.


And to round out the set, I included a Santa head that can be used as an ornament or just a paper decoration. It is paper pieced and painted with the Premium Dye Inks as watercolors. His hat is colored with Sprays ink and accented with Sprinkles Chunky Glitter.

So much fun to create! I can't wait to fill this out with the kid's wishes!

Next on the hop is Judy Rozema. Be sure to leave comments on each stop for the most potential to win!

Clearsnap + Stamps of Life Blog Hop


Welcome to the Stamps of Life & Clearsnap Blog Hop! We're so excited to be hopping with our good friend Stephanie Barnard and her talented design team. We traded inks for stamps and wow, we love the crisp images from her amazing clear stamp line!! They work perfectly with the Stephanie Barnard ColorBox Dye Ink Pads.

And, it's not a Hop without a fabulous prize so here's what we're giving away:



 
An entire assortment of Stephanie Barnard ColorBox Ink Pads!!! Since this is a BIG Amazing Super Duper Awesome Prize, we're gonna ask you to do a couple things in order to enter to win. Here's how to enter:


  • Comment here on this Blog Post and each blog in the Hop = 1 entry each blog comment

  • Refer your friends to FOLLOW Clearsnap on Facebook = 1 entry per friend who posts your name on our Page

    • I created this fun notebook and bookmark set to keep in my purse for jotting down ideas, lists and what-not using the "outlines4letters" and "kites2fly" stamp sets along with Stephanie Barnards Colorbox Dye Inks - which are my favorites!


    To create the cover, I stamped a sentiment using the outline4letters, embossed with Black Mix'd Media Inx and then cut out the centers of the letters using a craft knife. To give design to the letters, I traced the letters onto white paper and then stamped over the tracing with the kite patterns from kites2fly. Each letter is stamped with a different color of Colorbox Dye Ink for a cheerful, rainbow effect.


    The coordinating bookmark gets it's rainbow with several strands of twine and is accented with some cutie clouds from kites2fly. Stamped and embossed with Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx and embossing powder.
