Faux Pearl Techn{ink}

Hi Friends... Thank you for joining me for todays 
Techn{ink} Tuesday

Faux Pearl

I thought this would be a perfect Techn{ink} to try out. 
I hand colored using Handy Dandy Stampin Up Markers and Chalk but 
after a little drying it took less than 10 minutes.

Here you go...

After stamping my image and hand coloring each detail 

I took a small amount of Shimmer Paint in Frost White (#116806) 

and using my homemade contraption of plastic wrap and a clothespin (giggle)

I began to dob lightly onto my stamped image

covering every nook and cranny.

I tried to tip the Shimmered image so you can see the Pearl effect.

**Allow to completely dry before building the remainder of your card**

Your colored image will now display a bit lighter once the Pearl takes affect

The image on the left shows the difference in the softened color now

that the pearl has dried.  

(You can probably see our wedding photo in the background)

Image on the right shows the pearl in the light. 

SO PRETTY!!!! 

Here's an enhanced image to show all the details.
I'm proud of how it came out. Just sitting today to play with my "toys" 

added a few embellishments and I think it makes a perfect wedding card.

Cardstock: Very Vanilla #101650 and Soft Suede #115318, 

Ink: Soft Suede #126978 and Frost White Shimmer Paint #116806 


Tools:  Big Shot #113439, Labels Collection Framelits #125598, Adorning Accents Edgelits #125595, Stampin Trimmer #106959, Victoria Lace #118481, Glue Stick #104045, 

Dimensionals #104430 and Snail Adhesive #104332

You Call That A Quilt? Mosaic?

Hi there! I hope your week is going spectacular so far. 

Today's Techn{ink} is a very simple one. 

You may have briefly saw it a few weeks back ..

Some people call it a Domino Technique, a Tiled Stamp Technique, a 

Quilt Technique or even a Puzzle Technique.... 

whatever you consider it, is OK with me...

I just think its a Kreative way to use a stamp in a new and Unique way.

I'll go with a Mosaic Technique!

I chose Old Olive cardstock (#100079) for my card base which I cut down to 5" x 10" and folded in half.

Then I took a piece of  Whisper White cardstock (#124302) which I cut down 

to 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" then placed into 

the Vintage Wallpaper Embosslit Folder (#120175) and 

used my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (#113439) to emboss. 

Next I took a piece of Always Artichoke cardstock (#105119) and 

cut it to 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" for accent.

 Then I cut a piece of Textured Whisper White 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and 

handstamped my desired image 

in Baja Breeze (#126960) and Garden Green (#126973) ink.

Once the ink was dry I scored the textured, stamped cardstock into Fours 

and glued onto the Always Artichoke cardstock (#105119) then glued 

that portion to the Embossed Piece. Last I used my Snail Adhesive (#104332)

to glue all my layers to my original  Old Olive  Card Base......

And here is the final Card. 

Cardstock: Whisper White Cardstock #100730,  Old Olive #100079 , and Always Artichoke #105119

Ink: Baja Breeze #126960 and Garden Green #126973 

Tools Used:  Big Shot Die Cutting Machine #113439 ,Vintage Wallpaper 

Embosslit Folder #120175 and Snail Adhesive #104332.


Go On ... Give it a Shot

Friday Fun Tutorial Part 3

Hello!!! Im so glad to see your back for 

Part 3

of my 

Friday Fun Tutorial

Last week ended by learning the helpful and creative ways

on how to select the right Ink colors. 

Today I wanted to show you a small yet useful tip 

that could help you on your next project. 

**In order to better understand what I'm 

presenting you, I will be enlarging these images so you can 

more clearly, I hope **

Can you see a difference between these two images? The piece on the right 

is more vivid in color compared to the piece on the left. 

Why? I wanted to add a Distressing Techn{ink} to 

show more of an aged effect on my card. 

How did I do this? I took the Sanding Block from my 

Stampin Sanding System (#129367) 

and began to rub the edges and my paper to the desired level of distressing. 

What a little difference a little Sanding can make, right? 

Here's and upclose of the paper on my card in its Original state, 

in the center you see it in its Sanded form and

NOW..... to the far right.... I wanted to show you how it would look if you took 

the Sanded form, and by using a lightly inked Sponge Dobber (#101610)

in the Ink Color we chose last week (Crumb Cake #126975),

how it would really warm and change up the entire appearance. 

I applied this Sanded and Sponge Techn{ink} to each layer on my card.

Not too shabby, right? 

Well.... maybe it is a little Shabby Chic but you know that's how I roll!!! :)

Again, here is the Original versus the Distress and Antiqued final product. 

I even took my Round Corner Edge Punch to softened the edges on my front cardstock.

So there you have it class our Final Product. I think it came out wonderfully. 

Don't you think? Any questions class?

Have you tried this Distress and Antique Techn{ink}? 

If not, you should really try it sometime. In some situations it just may do wonders

for the project you are currently working on. 

And don't forget to 

 send me your before and after! 

***Email me your before and after card to NikkiSapien@Gmail.com***

I will enter everyone 

who submits their cards in an email into a drawing

for a free stamp and ink of my choice!

**A FREE STAMP AND INK AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS EMAIL 

ME YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER CARD

ALONG WITH YOUR CONTACT INFO**

So, come on ... Stamp, Snap a photo and Click Send...

There is one more class left... so that is 5 days left to send in your entries.

CAS Wednesday-Punch-O-Rama

Hello Fellow Stampers and Welcome to 

CAS Wednesday

you know I love them and am delighted to share

PUNCHES!!!! They are so much fun and 

help make the simplest cards even simpler (is that even a word!?!??)

I know today is 4th of July so I wanted to wish you all a 

Happy Independence Day! 

Todays feature isn't very Red White and Blue 

but I still hope you enjoy.

Cardstock color choice for today is Regal Rose (#105130), 

Chocolate Chip (#102128) and Whisper White (#124302).

I haven't done too many baby cards so here I selected 

Baby Bundle (w: #118525 c:#120576) with my stamp pads

and my 1 1/4" Square Punch (#119865) 

and Scalloped Square Punch(#119884)

** I find these punches are so handy to have around all year long**

I took a piece of Pretty in Pink Cardstock (#100459) and cut to 4 5/8" x 2 5/8" and 

placed into the Perfect Polka Dot Embosslit Folder (#117335) 

and ran through my Big Shot Die Cut machine (#113439).

Then I cut a piece of Whisper White to 3" x 5" and attached the 

Pretty in Pink card together.

I selected the smaller stamps and colored each by hand with my 

Handy Dandy Stampin Write Markers and used my 1 1/4" square punch (#119865)  

to layer them with a Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose 

Scalloped Square Punch(#119884).

Before I attached all my pieces to the  8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Regal Rose Cardstock 

(which I folded in half to create my card base)

 I wrapped a bow with my 5/8" Organza Ribbon (#114319)

and added the "Congratulations!" Sentiment by using 

the Large Oval Punch (#119855) and a Chocolate Chip Scallop Oval (#119856)

Done and the Labor for this card was under 5 Minutes! 

(giggle! giggle!)

Cardstock:    Pretty in Pink #100459, Chocolate Chip #102128, Whisper White #124302 and  Regal Rose #105130   

Ink: Chocolate Chip #126979, Regal Rose #126947 and Pretty in Pink #126955

Fun Friday Tutorial Part 2

Hello Friends and Welcome back for 

Part 2 

of my 

Friday Fun Tutorial

Last week we left off with layering 

and adding touches of color. 

Here you see a simple ensemble (Left)

and on the Right you see where I added a

small layer of Crumb Cake to our Blue and White featured project

As mentioned, today we are going to discuss 

further into ink colors. Initially if you recall, I was excited to experiment 

with my stamp set and see where I was truly going with it. 

Not paying much attention to color and ink

Bashful Blue, White and ink was in More Mustard.... 

These colors aren't horrible, I wont mention what I thought of 

but obviously wasn't the direction I 

was hoping for.... 

To help aid me in this next task I brought out my 

Color Coach (#120148). 

With so many fascinating colors to 

choose from and not wanting to make the wrong choice. 

I had to really see each and every color

Stampin Up had to help me be sure of the Right direction. 

After shifting through all the colors in my Color Coach

I compared my initial choices of color to the 

ones that fit just Perfect!

Can you see the stark color choices I had compared to 

a more subtle, soft and welcoming choices I selected?

And Taadaaa! My card was born!!

(Well ... Almost.. Were not done yet)

So there it was.... 

See my beginning card compared to 

a mild make over and finally how changing my Ink choice, 

adding Layers and an additional Designer Paper

can make such a Wise Move!?! 

I would REALLY love to see you 

try the same, start out a card with

random colors and grab some colors. 

And Stamp It!

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!!!!

Sit and rethink... 

"What could I do different?" 

and send me your before and after! 

***Email me your before and after card to NikkiSapien@Gmail.com***

I will enter everyone 

who submits their cards in an email into a drawing

for a free stamp and ink of my choice!

A FREE STAMP AND INK AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS EMAIL 

ME YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER CARD

ALONG WITH YOUR CONTACT INFO

So, come on ... Stamp and Send...

and I know your going to ask.... 

what could possibly be next?? 

Oh there is more... and your just going to have to follow along 

to see! :)

Happy Stampin
