I know, I have been posting pages lately but have also been working on cards which I will post soon!  This page is my version of the cover page of our Stampin’Success magazine (May2009).  Stampin’Success is a magazine that Stampin’Up! sends to demonstrators once a month.  In this magazine, there is always a note from Shelli Gardner co-founder of the company, business tips, announcements, new specials, new techniques, featured art projects, product of the month,demonstrator promotions, art contest winners and more… 

For this page, I used the simply scrappin’ kit  2 Sweet, item code 113943. For my title, I used the Naturally Serif and Serif Essentials Alphabets compressed with the big shot.  It was quick and simple because the scrappin’ kits contain 2 sheets of all 4 matching colors, 3 sheets of double faced designer paper x  2 designs, 2 sheets x 3 designs of stickers.  You can create a lot of pages or cards with one single kit.  Speaking of kits…

There is a fabulous Stampin’up! special  at this time.  You can purchase a scrappin’ kit, 1 package of 12×12 textured cardstock, craft ink pad and a stamp set, value of $51.95 for only 99$  Click here to see the special.

I was busy stamping all weekend.  Stay tuned because I will be posting this week.  Well I have been cherishing these pictures for a while and was waiting for the right technique to create a page.  Thanks to Patty Bennett, I created a perfect and beautiful rose to match Jordan’s pictures.  The rose was created with the watercolor rose technique which I am going to show my stampers group.  I will also be showing this technique to our Sparkledaisies meeting, leader Marlayne Hardy.  I sure hope to wow them!  By the way, at Josee Smuck’s Inkies meeting, there were a few who asked me where I had these pictures done.  It’s a studio called Magenta Studio , in Montreal

Material used:  shimmery white cardstock, pink pirouette textured cardstock in 12×12, pretty in pink 8.5×11, whisper white textured cardstock, Bella Rose designer paper, vellum cardstock, white pearls from the pretties kit, 2 way glue, dazzling diamonds, whisper white taffeta ribbon,  chipboard, white craft ink, ink refills in pink pirouette and pretty in pink, aquapainter, eyelet border punch and naturally serif letters with my big shot.

WATERCOLORING RE-iNKER TECHNIQUE

Instruction:

1.  Take a piece of shimmery white cardstock

2.  Stamp your image with White Craft ink

3.  Apply clear embossing powder on stamped image

4.  Heat the image with your embossing tool

5.  Spray your entire image with a spritzer bottle filled with water

6.  Use a lid ex.  cool whip lid to apply a dab of reinker of your color choice. ( You can use different colors)

7.  Take your aquapainter and dip it in the dab of reinker.

8.  Touch stamped paper with the aquapainter (the color will spread on the wet stamped image)

9.  You can repeat step 7 and 8 with another color and can go over the image more then once if you want to create more colors ( I used pink pirouette, pretty in pink)

10.  Let your stamped image dry standing up (the extra water will drip down)  It doesn’t really matter because you will cut the image after.  It will take approx. 30 min for your image to dry

Voilà! you are done…

Here is a page I did for a door prize, it included a class for 6 people, a value of $120 and extra designer paper, ribbon and a stamp set.  Erin, a member of my stampers group had asked for a door prize for the Minto skating club Banquet which is taking place tonight.  To show projects we do in a scrapbooking class, she gave me pictures of her daughter Hannah who will turn 8 this May.  Hannah had attended a skating competition, Scarboro Skate which she one a gold medal.  Congrats Hannah!

In this page I used:  Bravo Burgundy, Pink pirouette cardstock and Bella birds designer paper.  And I used the cardstock vellum which I punched with the eyelet border punch.  It really made it look more feminine.   I also added the 1 1/4 grosgrain ribbon in pink pirouette and attached 3 pink rhinestone brads.  Hannah’s dress was so pretty that I added accessories to complement it.  Also, I just have to say, cannot scrapbook without my bigshot!  I used the decorative accents, the decorative accent #2 and my gogo boots alphabet.

My close up of the decorative accents:  I sponged with the dobbers some bravo burgundy classic ink on the pink pirouette cardstock to create a vintage look.  It turned out great!

This month is a great month to stock up on cardstock,  see special below.  Email me to order your cardstock today.
