March 2017 – Teresa's Stampin' Spot

Favorite Color Combo

Hi! I am in LOVE with this color combination!!

Stampin' Up!, SU! Make A Medallion, Sale-A-Bration

I came across this color combination when using the Blooms & Wishes Designer Series Paper for March’s Stamp Set of the Month club and fell in love!! Island Indigo and Mint Macaron. How pretty they are together! Unfortunately, Mint Macaron will be retiring at the end of May. Time to stock up on a refill and card stock so I can continue to make cards for my personal use with this color.

The stamp set featured on this card is the Make A Medallion Sale-A-Bration set. I love how the two stamps intertwine with each other for my main image. And that little corner stamp? So pretty! Have you earned this set for FREE yet? No? Well, you only have 2 more days before Sale-A-Bration ends and it is no longer available!

Thinking of Sponging?

Hi! Welcome back! Today I am kicking off the week with a little sponging. This is a card we made at a workshop recently. I had seen a similar card on Song of My Heart’s blog – she had received it from Linda, a fellow demonstrator in Australia. So thank you, Linda, for the inspiration!

SU! Stampin' Up! Sheltering Tree

I used the Paper Doilies in the Occasions catalog – did you know that they are Very Vanilla on one side and Whisper White on the other making them perfect!! For this technique, use the side you do NOT want facing up to do your sponging then just use the other side for our card.

This card is sponged with Delightful Dijon – one of the In Colors that will be retiring in May. If you haven’t set, seriously consider stocking up on the In Color products now – they sell out fast and the re-inkers have started showing up on the back order report. (And don’t forget the card stock!!)

The ribbon is one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration rewards that was still available last I knew. It is very pretty with metallic thread weaved through it.

The sentiment is from the Sheltering Tree stamp set.

Don’t forget, I am hosting a Virtual Facebook Party on Wednesday night to say Goodbye to Sale-A-Bration. Click this link to join in the fun!

Happy Birthday Balloons

Hi! Welcome to the weekend! Today I have a card that was a Make & Take at the Stamp/Scrap the Day Away last weekend. It features the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper:

This pack of Designer Series Paper is so bright and cheerful – making it perfect for birthday cards! The sentiment is the single stamp – Stylized Birthday – and is perfect for both male and female cards. I also love the single glittery balloon – that was made with the Sale-A-Bration glimmer paper – which unfortunately – is sold out. However, you could sponge any color on the Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper to recreate this card. The strings are made from the Thick Bermuda Bay twine. These cards are quick to make – so if you are looking for a cute design for mass production – look no further.

There is just 1 week left to Sale-A-Brate. Two more products have sold out – the Seaside and Sparkle Embossing folders are no longer available. I’d get that order in before everything is gone if I were you! Happy shopping!

Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolor Dragonfly

Hi! Sorry I have been MIA the last week – life got a little crazy and I had a few other commitments I needed to complete. I hope today’s card makes it worth the wait.

Stampin' Up! SU! Dragonfly Dreams

I love how this card turned out! The Dragonfly Dreams bundle is one of my favorites – is it yours?

For the background, I scribbled on a piece of Watercolor Paper with the following Watercolor Pencils:

Daffodil Delight
Pumpkin Pie
Rich Razzleberry
Pacific Point

Then, start at the top and use an Aquapainter to spread the colors -working toward the bottom. You do not need to clean off the brush between colors – but you DO NOT want to go back up without cleaning off the brush – ask me how I know.

The Dragonflies are die cut from Basic Black card stock, then colored with the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. Here is a close up of the dragonflies.

Stampin' Up! SU! Dragonfly Dreams

The Watercolor paper is layered on Basic Black. The base is Rich Razzleberry. I used the Black/Gray twine from the Holiday Catalog to finish off my card.

There is only a little over a week left of Sale-A-Bration and items are selling out fast! If you haven’t gotten your FREE favorites – don’t wait to order! Also, Stampin’ Up! added 7 catalog products as FREE items. Here they are:

Rainy Day

Hi! Today I have a card we made at last night’s Beautiful You Watercolor class. This card feature the lady with the umbrella image.

Stampin' Up! SU! Beautiful You

For this card, we sponged Sahara Sand ink on the bottom using a scrap piece to mask the top half of the card. Then covered the bottom and sponged Smoky Slate ink on top. Next, stamp the swish stamp in Smoky Slate and the girl in Black StaZon. The girl’s dress is colored using the Basic Black watercolor pencil, the umbrella with the Basic Gray watercolor pencil and the legs very lightly with the Pumpkin Pie watercolor pencil. A Blender Pen was used to blend and shade the colors. After coloring, take the Basic Gray pencil and lightly draw random lines for the rain.

This was the favorite of all the cards made last night.

If you have not yet tried out the Watercolor Pencils and this stamp set – you are missing out! They are such fun products to play with.

We are winding down for Sale-A-Bration and the Card Tin is now SOLD OUT! Don’t miss out on any of your other favorite FREE rewards – place your order today!! Shop my on-line store here.

I’d love to hear what you think of this card!

Hey, Chick!

Hi! Back today with a card we made at the Sale-A-Bration class Saturday night. Did you know if you place a $50 (USD) prior to S/H and tax with me -not only do you get a FREE Sale-A-Bration product from Stampin’ Up! – you get a FREE class using Sale-A-Bration products from me! The class is held each month of Sale-A-Bration and we make 3 projects. Long distance customers, I mail out the complete projects 1 week after the class!

Stampin' Up! SU! Hey Chick

Isn’t this chick just adorable! I love the floppy feathers on its head. For this card, we used the Watercolor Pencils and a blender pen. The body is colored with the Daffodil Delight pencil, the feet with Pumpkin Pie, and the feathers on the head were done by coloring first with Melon Mambo – blending that out, then going over with the Pumpkin Pie pencil. I thought it turned out pretty well and matches the Watermelon Wonder Designer Series Paper.

The Whisper White panel for the chick is 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ and the black mat is 2 11/16 x 2 11/16″.

What do you think?

If you place an order by March 31st with me, you will be invited to join in the final FREE Sale-A-Bration class! Orders of $150 or more will also qualify you for the Big Sale-A-Bration Celebration party I host! Last year 13 people qualified for this party – they were given goody bags, Make & Takes, games with prizes, and treats! My way of thanking you for supporting my business!
