For the immediate future, I am backing down on posting. I have had just too much going on. I had a tremendous craft show this weekend. Card sales are down, but my other business is flourishing and requires my attention. I am not saying I will not be posting, but I need the rest of March to catch up. I will be making decisions in April.
I want to apologize for my absence at the end of last week. I had several unexpected things pop up. Now I am behind on getting ready for the large craft show this coming weekend. So I will not be doing any posts this week as I have had no time to make new cards. I hope can get at least one up on Monday.
Stampin’ Up! has suspended the Weekly update newsletter until April. So, I will be posting regularly on Tuesday. If I have news, I will put it out. Stampin’ Up! has introduced 12 new stamp sets. Here are the new arrivals Click Here.
I would appreciate it if you would order from me, as it allows me to bring new products to light and generate new ideas for you to create.
Well, we are definitely winding down Sale-a-bration. There are just a few days left. It’s time to double-check and see what you are missing, or maybe you need more Designer Series Paper.
Today is Technique Tuesday
Ever tried inking an image by splitting the color right down the middle? If not, we may have a new, go-to technique for you. It’s both eye-catching and easy to do!
Simply press the bottom half of a stamp on an ink pad, then press the top half on a different, complementary color. (We love photopolymer stamps and clear blocks for this technique; they make it easy for you to see what you’re doing!)
You can then do as we did and stamp on the two-tone silhouette with VersaMark; finally, emboss the image with gold Wow! Embossing Powder. We think the beautiful, green-blue tones (Shy Shamrock and Pool Party) create the perfect backdrop for the gold-embossed leaf.
