Stampendous! Just Dandy!!!!

A scrapbook page isn't something that normally gets posted on my blog, but with this ADORABLE Stampendous Perfectly Clear Dandy Stems set, I needed to spread my stamping out, I wanted to use all the stamps....If I could have made that sentiment work for this page, I would of!!

I used Stampendous! Razzleberry Embossing Kit!! EVERY AWESOME color in this kit got used!!!

This page was so much fun to make with the pleats that I made and sewn on my machine (FUN!)

If you haven't tried stamping on a layout background lately, Stampendous has 1000's of great sets to get you motivated....

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my layout.

Have a great weekend!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day with Dreamweaver Dream Schemes

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It's Dreamweaver Dream Scheme Thursday and it is a "free theme" this week....so naturally, I had to make St. Patty's Day card!!

I used a Clover stencil (LS58) and Glossy Green embossing paste. It is very simple, but it gets the St. Patties Day love across!!

Check out what the other members of the Dream Team have made today...

Cards with Stampendous! Jumbo Cling Stamps!!!

Hello there!!!

Today I have a two simple cards made with some of Stampendous! NEW Jumbo Cling Rubber Stamps!!!

Cling Jumbo Dahlia

This card was super simple, yet I love how it turned out!!

A few days ago, I was messing around with Memory Mists and sprayed this background. I left it to dry and somewhat forgot about it. Today I found it peaking out from under my Cricut and I thought...hmmm, STAMPENDOUS!!!

I stamped the Dahlia image with Stazon on the prepared background. I then stamped the Dahlia again on black card stock with white pigment ink and embossed with Stampendous! Crystal Sparkly Embossing Powder. I cut out the first Dahlia I stamped and adhered it with dimensionals.

Very simple, yet the design is soo pretty!!!

Cling Jumbo Happy Birthday

Here is another super simple card made with the Jumbo Cling Happy Birthday set...

I stamped the flourish image on ivory card stock with Versamark and embossed it with Stampendous Clear Detail Embossing Powder. I mixed some Cranberry and Eggplant Adirondack Color Wash ink in some Mini Misters with water and Perfect Pearls. I spritzed all over the embossed image. When I was done, I blotted off the excess mist with a damp paper towel. I let the paper dry completely and then I stamped Happy Birthday over the entire embossed image. In person, this card is beautifully shimmery!!!

This little flower was made using a five pedal flower punch. I punched three times and cut a few pedals out of each one. I folded them up and adhered them into each other. I glued and sprinkled Multi Crystal Medium Glitter on the pedals of each flower. It was hard to get a good photo of this shimmery flower.

I almost forgot to tell you that I stamped all of these images with the new Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle

This handle is FABULOUS!!! I love it!!

Hey! Thanks for stopping by and checking out some more Stampendous! goodies!!

I hope to see you again soon!!!

Have you seen the Stampendous JUMBO Cling Stamps yet????

Hi there blogging friends!! I hope this finds you all well!!

Today I am sharing another Stampendous project made with the new AWESOME Jumbo Cling Stamps...

This is such a versatile set. See how I altered this simple paper box...

I cut patterned paper to size and before I adhered it to the box, I stamped all the images with Versamark and embossed them with PearLustre Garnet and Lapis embossing powders. I then adhered the embossed patterned paper with Modge Podge.

I die cut some fabric flowers and misted them with glimmer ALOT (can't be seen very well in the photo). I stamped on a tag with Stampendous Dream Forever Stamp. I adhered some fabric and beaded trim....waaahhh lllaaaahhhh!!

Thanks for stopping by today. Check back often for more Stampendous post. I have alot coming up!!!!

Have a good day!!!

Dreamweaver Stencils Dream Scheme Thursday!!

Good morning bloggers!! I hope this post finds you all well!!!!

Today I have two cards for you, both with fun easy techniques.

I dry embossed the following card with my Big Shot. With the correct "sandwich" of supplies on top the stencil, you will not have any trouble with the stencil bending in your machine.

Once the stencil had embossed the paper, I left the stencil on the paper and stenciled in some color over the horses. The stencils used are the Running Horse (LL559) and the LX Damask (LX7001).

Using the Double Glitter Technique, I glittered up this beautiful Rooster (LG732). Using Jewel Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter, I gave this guy some color. For the Double Glitter Technique, I soaped the back of the stencil with the Coconut and Palm Oil Soap and placed it on double sided sticky paper. The soap keeps the stencil from sticking to the paper permanently. Once the stencil was in place, I started placing the colors of glitter where I wanted them. Here is the end result...

Thanks for taking a look today to see my latest Dreamweaver creations. Please take the time to see what the other members of the Dream Team have been up too...

Congratulations GIRLS!!!!

Here are a few projects that I submitted…

.

This card was made with a new stamps from the Frantagé collection (CRP-119R) Cling Dragonfly VIne and (CRV-219)Cling Dream Forever.  I stamped both images on ELizabeth Crafts Shimmer Sheets with Stazon.  I then used the Stampendous (AC941)Rhinestone Butterfly Class A Peel stickers on acetate and cut them out.  I adhered the stamped images and butterflies to a black card stock and Waaahh-Laaaahh!!!

This was super fun.  I had gotten this glass vase at the local craft store.  I stamped (CRR-116-R)Cling Geo Bubbles with Versamark on the sides of the vase, I sprinkled Stampendous Blue Tinsel embossing powder in the sides and heat embossed. I repeated on each side.  That simple.  Make sure when you are heat embossing on glass, that the glass is rather thick, that way it won’t crack under the heat!

 

Thanks for taking the time to celebrate with me !!  I hope you will check back often and see what I am up too here!!

I hope to see you tomorrow for Dream Scheme Thursday!!

Have a Happy Wednesday!!

A New Month, A New Sketch, and New Guest Stamp Tramps!!!

Hi there friends!! Welcome to March and welcome to a new month of sketch challenges with a brand new Sketch Artist...Heidi Blankenship!! Heidi is wildly talented and it shows on her resumé!! Heidi brings with her this month, Lindsey Amrhein, Michelle Gross and Vanessa Menhorn.

Here is my interpretation of Heidi's sketch..... I got to use "new to me", older set Chick Chat!!

I had a bit of fun today making this card. I used Shrinky Dinks and it was AWESOME!!! First I stamped "From All of Us" from the Chick Chat set with Stazon onto Almond Shrinky Dinks. I punched it out with a punch and started heating with my Ranger Heat Tool. It rolled, it curled and then it layed itself down perfectly!!!!! I'm in love. I don't know why I had to discover these wonders in my late 30's. Shouldn't I have done this 30 years ago??

Do you want to know how you can win your very own Chick Chat?? All you have to do is "like" Skipping Stones Design on Facebook and find the post on our wall where you leave a comment saying who you would make a card for with Chick Chat. If you post your latest Skipping Stones Design creation on our wall, you get an extra entry. You have to hurry!! I will be giving way the set on Wednesday!!! Act FAST!!

Finally .....Posted

Hi everyone...as the saying goes....better late than never, right!

I have been taking it REAL easy yesterday and the first part of today and not by choice. I had a great weekend with family and I think I might have given too many kisses and taken sips out of too many little one's drinks. Now I have a griping cough, a stellar headache and a fever equivalent to being right in the fire. My only saving grace this week is that I had stenciled the image on the card at a card class last week, when I was demonstrating the double glitter technqiue.

One thing I should have mentioned right away, is this week we are putting our own renditions to Terrece's (Dream Team Sister), sketch. You will see it below.

Thanks Terrece for a good one. I am so thankful that your sketch sort of went with that I had to work with!!!

This is short and sweet today!! Please check out what the other Dream Teamers are up to today... Dream It Up

If you stopped by for some Thursday Dream Scheme's with the Dreamweaver Stencil Design Team, then your in the right place!!

This week I was busy, busy making Dreamweaver Stencils cards with our new release stencils. I had a great time using our new Plaid stencil (LX7002) and metallic pastes!!

Once this background was dry....I couldn't help but think of Father's Day....

It was fun to pull out the Metallic Copper Embossing Paste. It has been awhile. I missed you Copper.

Here is another card that I made, just because I was in the mood to fight with my Birdcage Stencil (LL3012). I have had trouble pasting my Birdcage stencil at the bottom. There is a thin line at the bottom, that I can't seem to master. This certain day, the stars where aligned. It went very smoothly (pun intended)!!

I pasted with Gold Metallic Embossing Paste on Bazzill Acetate....Match made in HEAVEN!!!

Take the time to see what the other Dream Teamers have in store today...
