Marbling Leaf Card

A fun card to make using the marbling technique which I showed a couple of weeks ago. Today I am taking the marbling technique background and using it for my background along with a new stamp and die set that may now be found in our Journey Holiday Mini catalog on my web site. It is "Hello Fall"Stamp Set SS-0450, Die DI-0311, or save and get the bundle BD-0299 which includes both the die and stamp set. I then took our new create a pad ink pad and made my own color combination using our reinkers. I used Pumpkin Bread RI-0056, Cranberry Bliss RI-0048, Tangerine Fusion RI-0038, Summer Days RI-0042, and Kiwi Slice RI-0020 putting each color on one of the pads and leaving it set over night to soak in well. Then taking my stamp on my clear block I inked it up moving it very slowly just a little so as not have a line in between each color except for the vein lines. Die cutting them out and popping them up where I wanted them on my background and then adding a little Pumpkin Patch Bow AC-0332 along with sparkle silk to my leaves IP-0126 our sparkle silk is a must have for your projects.I have put the picture besides the video on how I made this card.  Any questions just email me serif1@aol.com and I will get with you but please tell me that you have a question so I open the email as I will be away from home the next couple of weeks. Thanks Janie #151 www.funstampersjourney.com/angelhugs

Marble Technique #1



This video will show you how to do a marble background. I used two different shaving creams, one is a cheap one that works great with our silks, and a Gilette one that is more expensive to use with our re-inkers. The more expensive one does much better with the re-inkers. I will show in the next video how I made the cards that I show in this one. Then the next technique video will be done using water marbling. See you soon. Have a blessed day.

Products coming July 1,2017


Hi Crafters,
   Just wanted to share a card I made with new paper coming on July 1. It is called "Project Me Prints" and this is from two different pages that I cut out and a new stamp set called "Remember Today". There will be a whole section called "Project Me" and a lot of new stamps, dies and paper that will be great for not only cards but scrapbook pages as well as 3-d items. I'm excited about this new catalog and will be leaving Monday for AZ as we get ready for a short vacation and then convention. I will post to my facebook page some of the goings on at convention and will also try to put some here and on Pinterest. You all know I'm not real savvy with computer stuff but will do my best. Have a great and blessed day.
Hugs,
Janie

All of these items maybe found on my web site at www.funstampersjourney.com/angelhugs

Watermelon Fusion base card and on this piece I used the piercing rectangle. I stamped and embossed on the whip cream using the clear pad and white powder then heat set it. Using a small amount of splash and my brush I added one color at a time over the embossed words wiping off the words each time so as to see them clearly. I also used one set of words and went over them with my silk. Then tied my thread to the base card. Popped up the front with foam squares and put on card front. Made a bow using the white thread and then added the paper clip element and bow using a glue dot.

Have a great and blessed day.

Butterfly using Sparkle Dust




This card is made using our Artful Butterfly die set. I cut out the background die first and then used the decorative one with a piece of white liner on the cardstock. This way the sparkle dust would stick to it when applied. Then applied my decorative one to the backing sheet. Then I folded a piece of cardstock and cut the background again making a card. Items I used are Butterfly DI-0007, white liner sheets AD-0113, journey sparkle dust AC-0013, and pearls AC-0024 and deep lilac cardstock CS-0096. All of these products maybe found on my web site at www.funstampersjourney.com/angelhugs

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!
