everyone gets to make a magnet!

As promised, here are the projects I demonstrated last night! 


Congratulations Hearts 

Stamp Set: En Francais, I {Heart} Hearts, Fun & Fast Notes
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Riding Hood Red, Marina Mist
Ink: Versa Mark, Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point
Pastels: Marina Mist, Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Button, Linen Thread
Extras: Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Cotton Balls, Sponge, Dimensionals, Glue Dot

In this first demo I really wanted to highlight the wonderful ways you can use the versa mark ink pad (something I don't think I could live without!). This also included embossing!
I stamped the En Francais background stamp with versa mark on the Crumb Cake cardstock and then used cotton balls to gently rub and blend Stampin' Pastels over it to give some gentle colour and bring out the writing! I then stamped the hearts with versa mark and covered them in clear embossing powder and heated with my heat tool. I used a sponge to rub some Pacific Point ink over the small LOVE heart to show the emboss resist technique. Finally, I adhered everything together, stamped the sentiment from Fun & Fast Notes and added a small button!


Get Well Flowers

Stamp Set: Greenhouse Garden, Fun & Fast Notes
Cardstock: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Marina Mist
Ink: Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Old Olive
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones, Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon (dyed Marina Mist)
Extras: Paper Crimper, Sponge, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Modern Label Punch

With this demo, I wanted to show how to use a stamp-a-ma-jig as I think it is an amazing peice of kit and show how perfect it makes stamping and possitioning every single time! I also wanted to show how you can get more out of your ink pad by sponging! 

I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the medium flower from the Greenhouse Garden. Then I used the sponge to sponge Marina Mist ink around the edge of the Whisper White cardstock, I also dampened a piece of whisper white ribbon and sponged it on both size so it was Marina Mist in colour! A great way to get a piece of white ribbon to match any colour ink you have!! I love it! I layered up the cardstock and then stamped, punched and sponged the sentiment before adhering it to the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock, this just "grounds" the flowers so its not floating. finally I crimped the edge!
