Birthday Wit Stamp Set

Hi everyone,
Today I am showing off one of my favourite stamps from the Occasion Catalgoue - Birthday Wit stamp set! I love the sayings in this set! This card also features a couple fun techniques. 


The first technique is the background which I created with the Stampin' Write Markers and the Watercolor Wash Stamp. It's really easy to accomplish - colour on the stamp directly with your colour choice of markers. After you have coloured the entire stamp, use your "hot breath" (that is the only way I can describe it lol) and blow on the stamp. This will make sure that the stamp is still moist enough to stamp on to the cardstock.  

The second technique has to do with the actual sentiment. I first stamped the saying in Dapper Denim ink. On a separate piece of card stock, I stamped the sentiment again in 3 different colours. After stamping, I cut out each line and then glued them over the Dapper Demin ink using dimensionals. 

I absolutely love this card and the colour combinations!




Can you believe that there is only one more day left of Sale-A-Bration?!?! The past 3 months have gone by incredibly fast! I am very sad to see all of these products disappear :(

There is still time to order from the Annual and Occasions catalogues though! There is still 2 full months left of those until they retire. 

Stay tuned, I have a couple Paper Pumpkin posts to show you guys and then I have a very special card I cannot wait to show off! I am currently working on the card that I will swap with other fellow demonstrators in Red Deer next week! If you follow my Facebook Page, I will be posting a sneak peek soon :)

Talk soon,
Fallon

Occasions 2018 Catalogue - In the Trees Stamp Set

Hey everyone!
I AM BACK! I took a little hiatus for a bit because life got hectic! My mom came to visit because it was my son's 4th birthday and she stayed for a week. Then 5 days after she left, my son and I hopped on a plane and headed to her house for a week! Now I am just trying to get back into the swing of things but it is proving difficult because On Feb 25th, we went to Banff for my son's birthday and when we got home that night, my foot has been hurting ever since. I finally found time to go to the doctor's and they gave a requisition to go get it x-rayed. Now, I am just waiting on the results! I am done with this foot pain and swelling!

Some good news though, my family and I are going on our first family vacation in July to Cuba!! We are sooo excited!

Anyways, back to what I am here to show you guys! I created a couple cards about a month ago and I am finally going to show you!

This first card was created with just one stamp set - In the Trees from the Occasions catalogue. I used a combination of the Stampin' Blends and the Stampin' Write Markers to colour in the images.
 

This stamp set is so versatile and you can create many different cards with it!


I love the banners that you can create with this set! I cut out the Happy Birthday and then glued it on with dimensionals to give it some depth.



There are only 4 more days to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration!! Where has the time gone?! The year is going by way to fast! Next thing you know, it will be new Annual Catalogue time!! I'm so excited as I will have the new Annual catalogue in my hands in less than 2 weeks at the OnStage Local event in Red Deer, AB on April 7!

Be sure to check out the Promotions page as there are many different promotions currently happening! 

I think I have rambled enough for today, so be sure to come back to see the other fun birthday card I created using the Birthday Wit stamp set!

Talk soon, 
Fallon
