Never Ending Birds

 Hi Stampers,
Here is the other Never Ending Card I made using an assortment of stamps.  I started with a double sided designer paper this time from Authentic, I really like the color change in the card.   I embossed the long rectangles with Mulberry EP with Sparkle N Sprinkle stamps, then all the bird and flower images are all old Stampin' Up stamps I have.  I colored them with Copics.

Hope you enjoy this one too....I finished the Beach one yesterday, so that will be next.
Until next time....
Happy Stampin,
Jill

Never Ending Cards

Hi Stampers,
Well the Treasure Hunt is over and I have recovered! lol  It was a very busy 10 days!!  But it was most exciting!!
I did a Never Ending Card last year on the stamping cruise Sparkle N Sprinkle sponsored and I just did a class on it in the store yesterday.  It was a very popular class with lots of requests for more....so I am working on another card with a beach theme. 
This one is using the stamp set Easter Chicks.  We colored with Copics, then glittered and flocked to jazz it up:)  Here are the directions for the card if you would like them.

Here is an Easter one we did in my Sunday School class last year also.

I also did one with birds, but I will wait until tomorrow to share that one....so check back tomorrow. 
Happy Stamping,

Ahoy Mates!

 The Treasure Hunt has started in the Tampa Bay area scrapbook stores!  Sparkle N Sprinkle is participating for the first time this year and had to do it up right!  We had 2 special stamp sets made for the event and a Pirate Queen Sparkle Glitter!  There is another Bendy Card I made with the Treasure Hunt stamps.

 I like the fact that the card opens up and lays flat too.

 And still more:)

Here is the card I made for my daughters birthday a couple weeks ago.  I do plan on doing a video for this card, but may not get to it until after the Treasure Hunt, we will see:)  I also made a cut file for it so if you are interested in it let me know.

Happy Stamping,

Another Woody Card

 Hi Stampers,
My brother in law had his 50th birthday today so I had to use the Surfin' Woody stamp set to make him feel good and old:)  I didn't really care for the set at first, but know since I had use for the verses I find it quite fitting!  I used the Shades of Tuscany Concord embossing powder for the sentiments.  I stamped all the images on Ivory Neenah and colored with Copics.

 Have a blessed evening,
Jill

Bendy Woody

 Hi Stampers,
Happy Saturday....It's been a great week...I've had time to stamp and create and I've had a lot of fun!!  I found this bendy card from Emma Fewkes and I have several ideas in mind for this card template....so keep watching.  I chose to use the new surf sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle, Surf's Up & Surfin' Woody.  I started out stamping all the pieces on Neenah and coloring with my Copics, then cut them all out...I should have used the Cut Files...but didn't think of it til too late:(  Anyway, then for the background I ran the top half of the cardstock through the embossing folder and used the sponge daubers to highlight the sun rays.  Then I covered it all in Versamark and embossed with Sparkle EP.  I then brayered some blue ink for the water and some brown for the sand, then Versamarked the sand and embossed with Hit the Beach. The smaller to bendy pieces I just covered with Hit the Beach, then the sentiment I embossed on top with Cerulean EP.  The cloud is a punch and has Sparkle and Cerulean on it.  Here are some other views.

 Thanks for stopping by:)
Happy Stamping,

Glitter Lace Technique

Hi Stampers,
Before Stampfest I was working on cards for the display boards and we needed some for the Glitter Lace Technique....this is always a popular technique at the shows too:)  So I thought I would share some of the different ways you can use the background after it's made.  If you are not sure how to do this technique you can view a video and details here.

 My first sample just uses the full page with a circle cut out and the sentiment stamped and embossed in the center....pretty simple, but very sparkly and pretty!

 My second sample takes the sheet of Glitter Lace Background and I used the Spellbinders Rose Creations dies to cut out the rose and a brad in the center to hold it together.  Then I used the Tuscany embossing powders and the Thoughtful Frames stamp set for a sentiment.  Again, simple but striking.

The last one is one I demo a lot at the shows.  This particular lace is a rose pattern and I use different colors of glitter...here I used Fire Engine Red.  After I made my background I used the Spellbinders Oval dies and cut out one rose, then using Sparkle N Sprinkles Dimensional Glue go over one individual rose and cover it with more Fire Engine Red glitter...then do the same with the stem and leaves and use Shamrock glitter.....this really makes it pop.  Then for the side strip I just used a border punch on the left overs.
Hope you try this technique soon and have some glittery fun!!
Happy Stamping,

Copic Bleed Dog

Happy Monday Stampers,
What a great weekend at Stampfest.  It was a great crowd and I always love demoing at the show and seeing friends and meeting new ones!  Today I'm going to share another Copic Bleed card.  I colored the base with my Copics then dropped drops of the Colorless Blender on it to create the spots.  I think it goes with this image perfect since the dog is shaking water!  Then I embossed Wet N Wild (the dog) with Teddy Brown embossing powder.  The sentiment is embossed as well.  For the background of the card and heart on the tag I used stamps from Daddy's Little Girl stamp set.
Hope everyone is staying warm and stamping!  That's what I plan on doing today!
Happy Stamping,
Jill
