A couple weeks ago, I started to feel unwell and 2 days later a test revealed I had contracted the Sars-CoV-2 virus. What fun! It really hasn't been all that fun. Most of the symptoms are better, now 2 weeks later, but I can't seem to get my energy levels back to where I need them to be. I guess these things can take time. But, I was lucky, the symptoms overall, were not too bad.</p><p>I though I would share a doll I crocheted awhile back. It was a lot of work, but I was determined! I found the pattern on Etsy, and the designer was CAROcreated. (In case a search wants to be made)</p><p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhttjz2xa8B0l7BnDDVSSIq0abIqexMuhnN3qmIQx0KBYGJ9PnYRCAz9N6xB9iOGfdzk5sT83i9zvQELHF-Ecw1BB16eE4LMVsP_H5nxDmleK-yb-PYAwZE9XJDfdSdnjzP1faJxHN6XEGkiveOuzRFmUsYsPSPgCS--S4BxQXWw9YtfrA50Avwbrkc6w=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhttjz2xa8B0l7BnDDVSSIq0abIqexMuhnN3qmIQx0KBYGJ9PnYRCAz9N6xB9iOGfdzk5sT83i9zvQELHF-Ecw1BB16eE4LMVsP_H5nxDmleK-yb-PYAwZE9XJDfdSdnjzP1faJxHN6XEGkiveOuzRFmUsYsPSPgCS--S4BxQXWw9YtfrA50Avwbrkc6w=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">She's sweet isn't she?</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLuCQ6PcnRTfBLhGg9e4wjWsq2CDL2aREDElZtihu-5KDqt8IR1ip8oZWeq1MQJrTJqZtfEK8A8koeXR8wZ2f5XM6Bm2TMHIIsh3SsjpVczYv2aPZ9aS6QCe_3tZFoBfHciWf1i-lIrHmPDLEhKZ8xkHvXU9Rh-kdyTHTBS9_H6bk83uTxCXU1CPKjew=s4032" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiLuCQ6PcnRTfBLhGg9e4wjWsq2CDL2aREDElZtihu-5KDqt8IR1ip8oZWeq1MQJrTJqZtfEK8A8koeXR8wZ2f5XM6Bm2TMHIIsh3SsjpVczYv2aPZ9aS6QCe_3tZFoBfHciWf1i-lIrHmPDLEhKZ8xkHvXU9Rh-kdyTHTBS9_H6bk83uTxCXU1CPKjew=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14907059276333644257noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737745300491874043.post-12258234609449699272022-01-04T16:38:00.004-07:002022-01-04T16:38:43.557-07:00Hello World<p>Oh my....it has been some time since I updated here at my blog. My apologies. I am no longer a Stampin' Up demonstrator, so needed to remove the affiliation from my links. Don't misunderstand....I LOVE Stampin' Up, but in all honesty, I was the one supporting my demonstrator status and meeting minimum purchase requirements (and did this for many years) and decided I had accumulated way toooooo much stuff. Plus, I really just wanted to blog about anything I felt like sharing, whether it be stamping, drawing, crocheting or pictures of my dogs. You know? So stay tuned while I think of something to share soon. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have missed you all!</p>Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14907059276333644257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737745300491874043.post-87462756860314573072018-07-28T06:00:00.000-06:002018-07-28T06:00:16.691-06:00Sitting Here Stampin' Up!

I love to paint with ink! Using my blender pens and some ink dabbed onto an acrylic block as my palette, I "painted" these images. I think it's easy to layer the colors on and be artistic without really needing to be an artist. Sometimes, we don't have all the other pens and paints, but we have ink...and this is a super easy and fun way to paint with color. Give it a try!</div>

It was so fun to pull it out and see what else I could do to make my projects a little different than I did last time.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since we are not able to purchase Stampin Blends until the new catalog comes out, I decided to go old school on my coloring technique this time. Using the inside of the stamp case or even an acrylic block as a palette, you can add some ink and blend it around with a basic blender pen as a paint brush and color your images. This is the technique I opted for today. It’s wise to work in light layers, and then you can build the intensity of the colors to emphasize shading where you want it.</span></div>

Using the same technique, but in blue, I did the same with this card. It reminds me of forget-me-nots. I like the way these turned out. What do you think?<br />

These are retiring soon and I will miss them because they make the most adorable treat bag! I also used the Southern Serenade Stamp set from Stampin' Up! <br />
<br />
A little tip was using the Brusho Crystal Colors to color the white shred as a way to bring the colors all together in my palette.<br />
<br />
I created this gift bag as part of my showcase for the Pink Stampers Design Team for April. The Stamp set is of course, Southern Serenade, and I will share a few other projects using this set in the next few days.<br />

And my last Waterfront Post!Finally, I wanted to share the last project I made with this very versatile stamp set, Waterfront. Love it! But before I get into that....I wanted to remind everyone that the clock is ticking away on this the very last day of 2018 Sale-a-bration for Stampin' Up! So many wonderful perks are still available...free stamp sets and items are there for the taking. Don't miss out!!! Read to the bottom for all the details!!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I knew that I wanted to make something that wasn’t a card and wasn’t a scrapbook layout, but my mind went blank when it came to something 3-D with this stamp set. It seemed like something that needs to be more like artwork, but couldn’t envision that on a treat box, etc. So, I opted for something semi-permanent, or at least something that wouldn’t be discarded after 1 use. A desk calendar seemed like a good option. With the year already 3 months in, I hesitated, but, decided, why not?</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is how I created my calendar! Simply create a basic A2 Card. Then, to make the stand, cut another piece of Cardstock at 4.24” x 5”, scoring at 1”, 2.5” and 4” all along the 5” side. Simply attach the 1" flaps to the Inside of the card base, and you have the easel. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was another use of the Brusho Crystal Colors. Once again I liberally sprinkled the Brusho directly onto my mountain stamp and this time I really applied the water liberally on my paper. I laid the paper directly down onto the mountain stamp instead of the stamp onto the paper. (This kept more control over the crystals so they wouldn’t fly everywhere and bleed in the water) I smoothed the paper over the top and pulled it away. It made this lovely blurry image that I moved around a little bit with my Aqua Painter. I blotted a little with tissue as needed so the image didn’t get too our of control. I did the same application with the trees, being careful to keep them straight and where I wanted them. I knew simplicity would be important and just let the Brusho do it’s think by guiding it around with my aqua painter. I actually picked up residual crystals off of the stamp with my aqua painter and made my sky and added the nice blurry ambient surroundings. It reminded me of the misty, wet mountains of my childhood on the Oregon coast. If you haven’t played with Brusho yet, I recommend you do! I am so in love with this product….and have my fingers crossed tightly they will carry it over in our new catalog this year.</span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

My son is stationed on Oahu, Hawaii while in the Coast Guard, and 2 1/2 years ago I had the pleasure of visiting him with my youngest son. It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun the time I was there. I have scrapbooked most of the photos I took already, but there was one professional photo we purchased at the Luau we attended that never made its way into my scrapbook. When I saw the palm trees and beach huts, I tried my hand at creating a little tropical island take on things with the stamps. I still used watercolor paper because I wanted to try and blend out the colors a little bit along with some sponging across the sky. I almost tossed this example, until I saw the way the water looked coming up on the sandy beach and thought to myself, “that’s not half bad!” A little bit of trivia about me, is since that photo was taken, I have lost about 70 lbs! I think I need to go back to Hawaii!</div>

IMy next card was all about technique and can be used with just about any stamp applied to metallic paper. A couple things that you need to know are, Archival Black ink is important to use and a bit of patience when stamping onto metallic paper because it can smear if you aren’t careful. I started my smearing my stamp pad straight down from the top to give the streaky smeared effect. Then I turned it around and did the same from the bottom up. After this was created, I stamped my images directly on, being careful not to let the stamp slide to avoid a smeared image. At this point I heat set the images with my heat tool on the low setting before I added the sentiment to the card. This was just to avoid any accidental smearing. AND YES, fingers will get messy! After the sentiment was added I also dried it with my heat tool. The next step is to take the Versa Mark ink pad and complete cover the surface of the card. Watch out for finger prints, or you will leave those on your card. Then I dipped the entire face of the card into clear embossing powder, set it with heat and it makes a very cool crackly ice look. Just for fun, I did a second coat of the versa mark and embossing powder, but I think it looked good with only the 1 coat too. This really reminds me the gold leafing on acetate that was popular in the 80’s. But, this was really much simpler! This would work with any of our metallic papers, but I used Copper for this example.</div>

My first example started out as an entirely monochromatic theme in shade of blue. I used watercolor paper, and after sprinkling Prussian Blue Brusho Crystals directly on my stamp, I then spritzed water lightly onto my paper. I then stamped the pre-brusho’ed stamps onto the damp paper and voila! Here is an interesting tip…Prussian Blue Brusho and Dapper Denim ink are very close to the same shade of blue! I did some shading and brush work with my Aqua Painter to get the watercolor effect and also used a sponge to deepen the colors around the edges. I was going for a moody, snowy day look, but wanted to break up the monochromatic so added a touch of blushing bride to the sky and followed up with some backing paper that flattered that pink. I then used the “snow” stamp to cover the entire image with snow using White Craft ink. A little tag of vellum over the top, and the card was complete!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Hey everyone! How are you today? We made it to the weekend and I thought it was high time that I shared one of the NEW Sale-a-bration stamp sets that was just released. It's called Blossoming Basket. I thought I would be a little bit of a rebel though and focus on the little butterfly in the set and avoid the basket for now. (I do love the basket, and will give it love later).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the butterflies fluttering up across my paper. I tried to make an ombre look by going from light to dark using Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Night as Navy inks. I then sponged the coordinating color a bit to give it a soft smudgy look. I then heat embossed in silver on vellum paper, a fun little stamp in another free stamp set available during Sale-a-bration called Amazing You. This image is actually half of the sunburst, but I did it twice to make the full circle. Using some ombre ribbon, some metallic thread and stamping my sentiment with an ombre effect using Marina Mist and Night of Navy. To finish it all off, I added a few of the Metallics Sequin Assortment to bling it a bit. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really love this card. I should have made a bunch of them because now I only have 1 and will have to find someone extra special to send it to.<br />

In February, I was given the task of making projects centered around the stamp set, Friendships Sweetest Thoughts. I thought the line image art was full of whimsy and a bit delicate as well. This set is available now in our Occasions catalog, and is really very sweet.</div>

The first card I made used some of the Brusho Crystal Colors to make the background. I also tied some pretty Peekabo Peach seam binding to the card face with a triple bow. I used the Stampin' Blend alcohol markers on most of my projects as well.</div>

Using the Memories & More scrapbook cards, I put together this sweet little layout of my granddaughter. She is really the main focal point, but I dressed the backgrounds up with a little flowery fun. The flower cart was embossed on vellum paper and then I used the regular Stampin' Write markers and colored on the back to keep that nice muted look that vellum brings.<br />

There is the cutest framelits set in the new catalog that makes these wonderful little boxes. I used it to create a card gift set along with the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes. They fit perfectly inside!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today is my birthday! </span></div>
<br />
I made a card awhile back with the new Birthday Wit stamp set. The images on this set really made me laugh out loud when I first saw them because they were so fun. I decided to make this card in honor of my own birthday because this last year or so has been spent with some very intensive dieting and weight loss efforts.<br />
<br />
The card was so much fun to make. I stamped the image in 4 different colors and then cut them apart to recreate the image, raising them up a little bit with some stampin dimensionals to give it some texture and interest. The background paper was from the Sale-a-bration catalog, so that means it was FREE with any $50 purchase now. I tied it all together with some linen jute. Who wouldn't want this delicious card? <br />

I really wanted to demonstrate this awesome product though and felt you may want to see it in action! I wanted to show you how to use 2 really awesome products offered currently by Stampin' Up! Embossing Paste and Brusho Crystal Colours. Here is the card I will demonstrate today. I will link all the products I used at the end of my post today.<br />

The stamp set used for this card is Epic Celebrations. It's a free set you can have just for ordering $50 worth of product. This set along with many other free items are available during Saleabration with Stampin' Up! Let me know if I can assist with you with your order so you can get this free set too.</div>

They are alcohol based markers and that means they do exactly what the name implies. They blend really well. Each of the colors offered, has a light and dark shade of the same color, so as you apply the color you can blend the other one right on top of it. In the card example below, I used the light and dark shade of Pool Party and also some depth of color by adding the light shade of Bermuda Bay.<br />

It would be my pleasure to be able to be your creative coach too! Right now there is no better time to join me with Stampin' Up! Right now, we are doing our Sale-a-bration campaign, which means MORE FREE additions when joining the team. The beauty of this company is that hobby demonstrators are welcome and probably make up the majority of the company. A hobby demonstrator joins because they want to get the products at a reduced cost, meet the minimum requirements, but remain within the Stampin' Up! family. That's why I joined, and here I am 2.5 years later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right now, when you decide to join, you can select $125 worth of product with an additional 2 stamp sets (any stamp sets...even the most expensive in the catalogs) and all for $99. Oh, and free shipping too! I would love to have you<a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/shelleybean/jointhefun"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> join me!!</span></b></a></div>

Yes, that's right! <br />
<br />
Here is how it works. For every $50 purchase now through March 31st, from the annual catalog or the Occasions catalog, you can choose a free item from the SALE-A-BRATION catalog. Yes! Isn't that fun? But, that's not all. For those of you that love your Big Shot and cutting out dies, they also are offering a FREE die set with any $100 purchase. This is an awesome deal!!<br />
<br />
The card I am sharing today was made with <b>Amazing You</b> stamp set and also the <b>Celebrate You</b> thinlet dies. And they were FREE!! I really like how it turned out!<br />
<br />

<br />
The blue background was made with the new Brusho Crystal Colors. Here is how it was done. I used the shimmery white paper, because I think it has a nice sheen, plus it seems to be pretty substantial when I get it wet. I used my spritzer and saturated my square of paper pretty good and then sprinkled a little of the Brush crystals on top and let the magic happen. I have learned that you have to be a little patient with the colors and let them do their thing. I then heat blasted it a bit to get the dry time handled. Each time you do this, you get a new and unique result.<br />
<br />
The flower was colored with the new Stampin' Blends markers. For those of you that have followed my blog in years past and remember the Copics tutorials I did, these are alcohol markers like those. And they are fantastic because they coordinate with Stampin' Up papers and inks. It's pretty fantastic!<br />
<br />
The paper used as the background is the new <b>Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Paper.</b> This paper is so beautiful with lots of foils. I opted to use the backside of the foiled paper, because I liked the color of the Calypso Coral, so as you can see, even the back of the paper is beautiful!<br />
<br />
If you would be interested in getting your hands on a few catalogs from me, I am happy to send one out to you, or if you are local, I can hand deliver. Just shoot me an email!

Here is card #2. This stamp set is in our new Occasions catalog and it is perfect for your Valentine's Day cards and treats. It has a coordinating die set that even cuts out an adorable Valentine's conversation type box. I will have to share that one with you on an upcoming blog post. I decided to make this card a shaker card, using our acetate window sheets and the fun gold sequin flakes also available in the Occasions catalog. I will share a link to all these products below.<br />

I was chosen to be on the Pink Stamper Design Team for the next 6 months. Pink Stampers is the team I joined when I became a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! 2.5 years ago. Our leader, Robyn Cardon, was the #1 in sales for the whole company this past November at Onstage on Salt Lake City. If you were to join my team, you would be included in this fantastic group as well, and it IS a fantastic and fun group of stampers to be a part of. <br />
<br />
Right now is an excellent time to join too because we are celebrating Sale-A-Bration, which means, when you sign up for only $99, you get to chose $125 worth of product and in addition to that, you also get to chose 2 FREE stamp sets. All your choice. Minimums are easy to meet, so even if you are only in it to get a discount for yourself, it's super doable! The benefits are fantastic. Please reach out to me and I can tell you more about it. Or, <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/shelleybean/jointhefun"><span style="font-size: large;">join here,</span></a> and get started today.<br />
<br />
But, for now, I thought I would share with you one of the creations I used as my submission for the design team.<br />
<br />
This exciting technique was used with the new Brush Crystal Color watercolor ink. These ARE AWESOME. You receive a set of 5 colors, you sprinkle them onto dampened paper and the inks spread and make very interesting effects like the one below. If you are interested in seeing them in action, I will make a small video demonstration. Please leave a comment below. I also used one of the hostess stamp sets from our current annual catalog, Background Bits. The ink color and card stock used is Always Artichoke.<br />

I am really excited to share these cards with you today. Did you know that you can watercolor with Stampin' Up! inks? You can! Here I have some examples done with ink, watercolor paper and the You've Got This stamp set. I really love this effect and the way the colors blend together to make an impressionistic look. So pretty! And the colors are so vibrant! I found a tutorial on another blog and I wish I could remember where, so if you know, let me know and I will add credit where credit is due. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWGVjwPdfdk2fD4ThVy6xDUTlm15Kue7bj1n5MK06VAOgnrkflIYoiMiuVnzPpGOC8iocG5d69YuTw6oQyaFEcvxv3lwPB3i_TDlUvkDqv6MMptVJSZ_uxxVHQI2RNKBcF3J_uYyoCed8E/s1600/IMG_4150.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWGVjwPdfdk2fD4ThVy6xDUTlm15Kue7bj1n5MK06VAOgnrkflIYoiMiuVnzPpGOC8iocG5d69YuTw6oQyaFEcvxv3lwPB3i_TDlUvkDqv6MMptVJSZ_uxxVHQI2RNKBcF3J_uYyoCed8E/s640/IMG_4150.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The technique is to take some quality watercolor paper (although I have had success with thick whisper white card stock) and stamp your desired impression with a lighter color. I did mine in Daffodil Delight. This will make the detail of the stamp obvious enough that you can see it, but won't really show through with the colors being used. <br />
<br />
I used the re-inkers as my medium. The best way I have found to do this is to use a little watercolor palette tray or you could even use an ice cube tray. It will compartmentalize the colors so they don't run together. This is especially good when you want to blend the colors together first.<br />
<br />
I then applied water in sections to prepare the area and then deliberately added color gently, The trick was in letting the ink flow out to where the water was applied without being too tempted to try and paint it on. I used a water color paint brush, but an aqua painter would work as well. I continued on from there, doing each section or petal of the flower, leaves, stems and the worked the same technique in the background.<br />

After the project was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment in black for a nice contrast. I love this technique and will share a couple more in a few days. I would be interested to now if anyone would like a video tutorial on this technique.<br />
