Here are some cards I am planning to use in my next workshop. The Just for you card I will be demonstrating how to do the background colors. It is really simple to do. Take an acrylic block (e used here) and stampin up markers and draw a line with the marker starting at the bottom. Use as many colors as you want cover the whole block or part if you want some white showing through. Spray the block with water using either a spritzer or a small water bottle. Then stamp the block onto watercolor paper and let dry. This technique is good to use with a large greeting stamp as shown here. The Happy Birthday card is watercolor using In the Meadow stamp set which is in the 2016-2017 annual catalog. If you are in the Southern California area, I would love to demonstrate this technique at a party/workshop that you host. The third card uses the DSP Floral Boutique and the die cut from Rose Wonder. Any greeting would be appropriate with this card. This stamp set and die set is also available in the new catalog. Contact me at darstz@hotmail.com if you are interested in hosting a workshop/party or would like to purchase a kit to put these cards together yourself.

July Paper Pumpkin-Alternative Card
Hi everyone! Today I’m featuring a card I made with the July paper pumpkin kit. The stamps are cute and feature a “sparkle theme”. The bottom of the card was material from the kit and I used some shinney copper paper I had. I also used the shinney copper paper and used the swirly bird thinlet for a backround to the greeting paper. I used some copper tinsel type material to divide the two papers and used the diamond stamp on the shinney copper stamped in an old color, dusty durango. I embossed the “brilliant” word in copper which is available in this years catalog. Stampin Up also offers copper thread this year which would also look nice with this card. The greeting and the bling on the tag are both stamps in the set included in this months kit. As a final touch, I took a pearl and colored it with a copper sharpie. This was a fun card to make and I love the copper. Besides the intended projects, it is so fun to think of alternative ideas each month that can be made from the kits.
