I have been a busy bee creating & cutting card stock this past week.  I burnt the midnight oil last night finishing things up.  As this I'm packing up this morning & heading out.  Today is my first monthly class for February!  I'll be stamping today with my N. Liberty group!   Denise is our hostess today.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, sharing & stamping with them!  

Be sure to check back again soon......I'll be posting some more cute cards that I'll be doing at my classes this week!

Tonight when I get home, we're going to meet our family at Nathan & Sarah's to watch the football game & eat supper.  I got a taco dip whipped up early this morning to take.  

Gotta run.......
I hope you have a SUPER 'Super Bowl' Sunday!!

Another 'Beautiful Day' with Brusho!

Gosh.......yep, I have another flower card using the 'Beautiful Day' stamp set, along with Brusho!  I have just had so much fun playing with these new coloring powders!

Check it out!!  It is clean, simple & pretty!!  

After I got it all done I got to thinking- I can't believe I used orange & black together, as usually I think of those colors being for Halloween.  But I think they look great together with this flower & it looks like spring!
How did I do it?
  • I stamped this flower onto my Shimmery White card stock, using a Versamark ink pad.
  • I added the White Embossing powder, tapped off the excess & heat set it.   
  • I colored this flower with Brusho by sprinkling some powder onto a clear block, using my Aqua Painter, picking up the color & coloring in the flower.
  • I let it dry for about 15 minutes & then fussy cut it out using my Paper Snips.  
stamp set:  'Beautiful Day'
card stock:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White, Shimmery White
designer paper:  Tutti-fruitti 6x6 DSP
ink:  Archival Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Versamark pad
other:  Aqua Painter, Black Twine, Triple Banner Punch, Paper Snips, Brusho, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Yesterday was a busy day with kids, piggies & stamping!

A Brusho Butterfly, using a 'Beautiful Day'!

This Butterfly makes me think of spring.  It is bright & cheery!  And I thought we could all use some thoughts of warmer weather & spring this time of year!!

Oh- I used the Brusho again!  I am lovin' it!  

This Butterfly is from the 'Beautiful Day' stamp set!

How did I do it?
  • I heat embossed the Butterfly onto Shimmery White card stock, using White Embossing Powder.
  • I then sprinkled Red & Yellow Brusho over the Butterfly.
  • I used my spritzer & lightly sprayed water over it.
  • I let it air dry for approx. 30 minutes.  (Time may vary, depending on how much water you put on it.) 
stamp set:  'Beautiful Day'
card stock:  Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Shimmery White, Whisper White
designer paper:  Tutti-frutti 6x6 DSP
ink:  Versamark & Real Red
other:  Brusho, Spritzer, 1/8" Real Red Ribbon, Tutti-frutti Sequins, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Dimensionals, Glue Dots
++++++
Yesterday was a busy day with the 3 little ones.  The 3 big ones road the bus here after school.  The 3 Wood kids were here late, as Nathan & Sarah both had late meetings.  Brayden was excited, as he got to go out & help Papa & see the baby piggies that came last Friday.  They ate supper with us & when they went home I stamped!

This morning I'm off to walk & head to town.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my morning with the 3 little ones.  We get baby piggies again later today, so Sarah will come get their 2 kids whenever the trucker calls & says he'll be here.  Trey will go out with Deke & I to work on the farm.  Tonight when the kids are gone home I'll be a stamping fool!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!

'Floral Statements'- WOW!!

WOW!!  Check out this pretty card using the 'Floral Statements' stamp set!!  I just totally love how this card turned out!  It is just gorgeous!!

This technique is called Black Magic!
How did I do it?
  • Use the Embossing Buddy all over the Basic Black card stock.
  • Stamped the image using a Versamark ink pad.
  • Put White Embossing Powder over the entire stamped image, tapping off excess.
  • Heat set the image using the Heat Tool.
  • Color the images using the Stampin' Blends.  I used Dark Cherry Cobbler for the roses & Dark Old Olive for the leaves/stems.  
  • I was careful to not get the Stampin' Blends onto the THANKS letters that I wanted to leave white.  
IMPORTANT TIPS:  
  1. The Dark Stampin' Blends show up so much better than the lighter ones.
  2. If you get the Stampin' Blends onto one of the letters or someplace that you don't want it to be- you can use the Color Lifter to remove it.
  3. It is so easy to color when you use the Black card stock, as if you get outside the lines- onto the Black card stock- it doesn't show!
I made multiples of this card to send to some friends!  See how I colored the roses first & then colored the stems/leaves. 
Check out the AWESOME new Embossing folder called- Petal Pairs, that I did along the edge of this card, using Old Olive card stock!!  

And I added some of the 1/8" Real Red ribbon- that I doubled up & tied to put at the base of the stems.

stamp set:  'Floral Statements'
card stock:  Basic Black, Old Olive, Real Red
ink:  Versamark Pad
Stampin' Blends:  Dark Cherry Cobbler & Dark Old Olive
other:  Embossing Buddy, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Real Red 1/8" Ribbon, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Big Shot, Standard Plate, Petal Pair Embossing Folder
So what do you think?  This is such a wow look & so easy to do!  

Be sure you check back again soon.  As I have 4 other cards I've made doing this technique with other stamp sets & colors!  They are awesome too!  I'll be doing a card using the technique at all of my February monthly stamp classes too!

++++++++
Yesterday was a busy day with kids.  Poor little Miss Ainslee hasn't been herself the past 2 days.  I'm not sure what is up.  I am wondering if she doesn't have ear infection.  She has been cuddled & rocked alot this week.  The boys road the bus here after school & grandma had warm chocolate chip bar cookies waiting for them.  Masen thought he was starving & had a hard time waiting for the big boys to get here before he got to eat his cookie.  He actually got a kitchen chair, pulled it up to the counter top where the pan of bars were.... (thankfully I had them cut & had a spatula laying there too), he got out his own bar cookie out of the pan & headed to the little table in the family room to eat it.  It was precious & I was so shocked that he is getting big enough to do something like this all on his own!!  When everyone went home I stamped last night & did laundry!  

This morning I'm up early to walk & then go to town to get the boys up, read & drop them off at school.  I'll spend my day with the 3 little ones here at our home.  The 3 big boys will be here after school too.  When everyone goes home I'll spend my night again stamping!

I hope you have a very special Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!!

'Beautiful Day' with Brusho!!

I've been playing some more with Brusho!!  And having lots of FUN!  There are just endless possibilities when using it!  

Check out this clean & simple, yet- very pretty card!

Oh & look closely at the Whisper White card stock layer.....I used one of the pretty new Petal Pair (flower image) Embossing Folder.  You can find this on pg. 23 in the Occasions Catalog.

Check out this flower!!  What do you think?  I colored it using the Brusho powders & an Aqua Painter. 


How did I do it?
  • Using Versamark ink, I stamped the flower image onto Shimmery White card stock.
  • I put White Embossing Powder over it & heat set it with the Heat Tool.
  • I then took a Big Clear Block & tapped some Orange & Yellow Brusho onto it.
(Gosh- don't look at my messy grid paper- I didn't realize it was that bad- sorry!)
  •  Using my Aqua Painter I added a little water with the Brusho powder & then colored my flowers. 

  • NOTE:  I did use a Pear Pizzazz ink pad- by squishing the ink onto the ink pad cover & picking it up with my Aqua Painter to color the leaves.  
  • I used the circle make up pad that I bought at the dollar store to lightly pick up some extra water in some spots. 
  • I then let my flowers air dry for about 30 mins.
  • I then took my Paper Snips & fussy cut out the flowers.
stamp set:  'Beautiful Day'
card stock:  Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Shimmery White
designer paper:  Tutti-frutti 6x6 DSP
ink:  Versamark & Archival Basic Black
other:  White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Paper Snips, Brusho, Aqua Painter, Clear Block, Dimensionals, Big Shot, Standard Platform, Petal Pair Embossing Folder (flower image)

These are the 5 different colors of Brusho! 
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:  You just take a tack pin & poke one hole in the top of each lid & use them like you would a salt shaker!  Store them with the tack pin left in them.  DO NOT TAKE THE LID OFF OR OPEN IT......as the Brusho is a very fine powder & it will poof all over & make a huge mess.  
+++++++++
This morning Deke is up early to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting.  I'm off to walk & then head to town.  I'll take the twins to school & then spend my day with the 3 little ones- Trey, Masen & Ainslee.  Brayden will ride the bus out after school, so I'm looking forward to see him a little too.  Tonight when everyone is gone home I'll spend my night stamping!  As I'm creating & getting ready for my February stamp classes.

Gotta run.......
I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!
Happy Stamping!

Brusho & 'Waterfront'

Oh how fun!!  Oh how pretty!!  I just LOVE this stamp set!  And I just working with the Brusho!

Here is another card I made playing with Brusho & the awesome 'Waterfront' stamp set!  I really like the way this Watercolor piece ended up turning out with the Brusho I added to it.  Don't you?
This is just a great guy card.  I also think it could be a great sympathy card too.

This morning Deke is off early to chore & head to the office.  I'm up early to walk & head to Manda's early, as she has an early meeting.  I'll take the twins to school & spend my day with the 3 little ones.  Tonight I'll be working on catching up on my piles of bookwork.
