CLOUDS made with shaving cream technique!!

HI!
Here is another card that we made at my workshops this month.  When I first saw this stamp set it screamed at me to do the shaving cream technique.  Again......an old technique that I learned years ago & hadn't done for a long time.  It was fun!  Most of the gals enjoyed doing it.

'Send me Soaring'
cs: Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Real Read, Old Olive, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight
ink refill:  Marina Mist
supplies: Brights brads, paper piercing tool, mat pack, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Big Shot, Designer Rosette Bigz Die (for the fence), paper snips, dimensionals

To do the shaving cream technique I squirted shaving cream into a foil pan, put in 2-3 ink refill drops & stirred with a spoon (I used a wood dowel), press whisper white card stock down into pan of swirled shaving cream, pick up, remove shaving cream with spatula, wipe off excess shaving cream with a paper towel, let dry a few minute & it is ready to be stamped on & then attached to your card.  Hope you find the time to try this fun technique.  Kids love doing it!!  It is messy, but so fun!!  Each piece of card stock comes out differently!!  

ENJOY!!!
Happy Stamping!

I'm off to my Hiawatha workshop soon.....have a big group coming & a couple new gals too!  I'm looking forward to sharing.   We are going to have a FUN DAY!!!  Here is one of the cards they will be making today!!  Oh BABY- Isn't it neat!  Everyone will be able to choose whether they want their card to be pink or blue.  OR they can stamp one side of the circle pink & one side of the circle blue & then attach it when need to send out the card!!  Good idea huh!

Over 11 years ago when I started stamping I had only been in a stamp store a couple of times & wasn't impressed as I couldn't find any reds to match (card stock, ink pad, marker) to make my kids Valentines cards.  So one of my friends that I was doing daycare for at the time (Ann) had a workshop.  I went & was so excited to see that everything matched!  From then all you can say it is history with my love of Stampin' UP! & their products.....

So to go on with my story......back then there wasn't the designer papers that we have now.  So often we created our own backgrounds.  Well- that is what I did on this baby card.  I made the dots shown on this card with finger daubers & ink pads!!  WOW- something old I learned- but something fun I hadn't shared with customers for a long time.  Everyone loved it at my workshops last week- assume the gals today will too!

'Baby Prints'
cs:  Certainly Celery, Whisper White
ink:  Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink
supplies:  Sponges daubers, Certainly Celery 3/8" taffeta ribbon, dimensionals, Big Shot, 3" circle die, Scallops #2 die

Gonna be a crazy/busy week for me!  I have my big Stamp 'Til You Cramp this Saturday!!!  Last week I was busy AND sick & didn't get anything done for this class....so tonight when I get home I'll start creating & cutting!  Pray that I have my mojo!!  I have tons to do this week!!

ENJOY!!!
Happy Stamping!
