Scrapbook jewelry

I found a way to combine my two passions- Paper crafts and jewelry! These are covered with scrapbook paper and/or rubons and then I put a glaze on them and what I got was some great pendents!

Poppin Pastels

Supplies:

-cardstock (I used whisper white and chocolate chip)
-pastels
-Whisper white craft stampin up stamp pad (very important)
- Q tips

1. first you stamp on your cardstock with the white craft ink. The reason you have to use the craft ink is it stays moist a long time after you stamp with it so you have plenty of time to color the image with your pastels.

















2. You ponce on top of the stamp image with your pastels with a q-tip. Make sure you just ponce on top and not rub the image cause you will smear it. You can continue to layer color on top of where you already have color until you get the desired effect you like. That's it! It's that simple.















































Here is the finished card made with Stampin' Up! products.

Here are some more cards I made with stampin up products.
The first I used doodle this stamp set with black and tempting turquise cardstock. I embossed the images.

The 2nd I used Simply said stamp set on watercolor paper and the flowers on the coral color cardstock. I used my stamp pads and aquapainter. I also used my slot punch to make the scalloped piece of cardstock.

The 3rd is with time well spent set and bold brights cardstock.


Embossing Techniques

This was a neat. I thought I would share. I toke a sheet of brillant blue Stampin' Up! cardstock. I clear embossed it with a stamp from doodle this. Then I bleached the whole sheet. I thought it looked really neat changed the cardstock to a turquise color but where I embossed it is still blue. The next sheet I just embossed on white paper then dragged my stampin up pad over the paper and where it was embossed it resisted the ink.

decoupage frames

I decoupage these frames with scrapbooking paper and I used the salebration rub ons from Stampin' Up! on both.



I love painting with my stampin up pads to make it look like watercolors. I stamped the image with Staz On. The first two cards I used Pun Fun Stamp set. The third I used Fun & Fast Notes Stamp Set.


Open House Project

This is what we did at my Stampin' Up! Open House. I embossed the image with clear embossing powder on chocolate chip cardstock and used Doodle This Stamp set. I then bleached the image and after it completely dried I painted it with pixie pink and tempting turquise stamp pads using my blender pens. I stamped the background of the card with the swirls. Its hard top see in the picture. I also clear embossed the word thanks on the bottom corner. Below is what it looks like when you bleach the cardstock. I also included another example with the same technique.



Rock and Roll

Supplies:
Pixie pink, chocolate chip, Bravo Burgundy Cardstock and stamp pads.

I used a technique called Rock and Roll for the butterfly. It is from the Stampin' Up! set Garden Whimsy. I first stamp in the pink then rolled just the outside of the image around in the burgundy. I stamped the burgundy background with cordinating pad with the swirls from the Doodle This Stamp Set. I also dry embossed the pink with the seeing spots brass template. I used my slot punch to make the scalloped piece in chocolate chip going down the side.







This is a close to show the embossing.

Easter projects

I had a workshop this past weekend and I made this first card as the project for everyone to make . I used the Stampin' up! products "A Good Egg" stamp set for the chick and the flowers. I stamped it with staz on ink and used the watercolor crayons. Cardstock used for card is Wild Wasabi, Lovely Lilacs, and Chocolate Chip and I used watercolor paper for the chick. I also used "Fast Flowers" Wheel to stamp the background of the wild wasabi cardstock with wild wasabi stamp pad.




The second card I made for the hostess. I used the Wild wasabi and lovely lilacs paper again. I also used some paper from the hostess set prints pack for the inside right of the card. I stamped the chick twice and cut out the egg and put it in the bottom corner with a pop dot to make it stand out. Colored it with the watercolor crayons too. I made the Easter basket for the hostess also.

Cards


The first card I made with "Happy Heart Day" stamp set from stampin up. I used the stapmin up pastels and colored pencils. The other two cards are made with "Moose You" stamp set.




Birthday Invitations

This is the invitation I made for my son's 5th birthday. I used "Ahoy Matey" stamp set.





Projects from my first workshop





Here are the projects I did for my first workshop. We did scrapbook pages one for boy or girl. I used "Simply Said" stamp set for the first and "Bugs and Kisses" for the second. What I did for the first layout was I stamped on white paper with the stampin up's whisper white craft ink pad. Then I used stampin up pastels and ponced (do not rub) on the the stamped image with colors to cordinate with the pages. The second layout I did in a similar way but I stamped with colored craft ink and then used a slightly darker color of pastels to accent and give the stamped images more dimension. Its really easy and fun to do. I think it really enhances the images.
