Thursday . . . .

I made this card weeks ago, and I was looking for something cool to put on the left side of the card. Nothing has come to me so I am going to post as-is. :-)

I used:
Paper: Basic Black CS #121045, Whisper White CS #100730, Patterns DSP Stack #117157
Stamps: Grunge Rock #120555
Ink: Real Red #103133, Pumpkin Pie #105216, Daffodil Delight #119667, Wild Wasabi #109014, Pacific Point #111837, Perfect Plum #101437
Other: Basic Rhinestones #119246, Scallop Border Punch #119882

TGIF.....

I saw a card similar to this but it wasn't using any SU products. It was so cute and I thought it would be easy to re-create using all SU! One thing I would do differently.... I would use craft ink to give the stamped image a really bright and bold look. I am still pleased with the way it turned out, but I would like the image to be bolder.

I used:
Paper: Crumb Cake CS #120953, Basic Black CS #121045, Patterns DSP Brights #117155, Very Vanilla CS #101650

Technique Thursday

I have showed a number of cards in the past few weeks where I have stamped on printed paper and cut it out. I think it is a fun way to use a stamp, and I often forget about it.

When I saw these monsters, I knew it would be a perfect technique for these guys.

If you are going to try this, you will need a very good pair of scissors. My favorite are cutter bees. My sweet friend, Jenny (in Minnesota) sent me a pair some years ago and I couldn't believe the difference a good pair of scissors makes.

I find cutting paper like this very relaxing, so I really enjoy this technique.

If you give it a try, I would love to see your creations!

I used:

Stamps: Make a Monster #120606-clear  #118742-wood, Grunge Rock #120555-clear, #117080-wood
