It's fabulous for watercoloring! I paired it with one of our newest designer series papers, Newsprint, to give it a different look!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

  • To achieve the watercolored look shown here, load your Rich Razzleberry ink into an Aqua Painter and color 1 petal at a time, allowing it to run out before reloading – that way, each of your colors are a different tone! For best results, use Watercolor Paper.
  • The sentiment "Thanks so much" is from a stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalog called "Watercolor Trio". My reason for loving it? Because all of the sentiments in the set (3 total) fit PERFECTLY in the Designer Label Punch/Hodgepodge Hardware accent!
  • Vintage Brads are a DELICIOUS new accessory, I used one here on the right hand side of the Designer Label Hodgepodge Hardware piece. Order the full pack or get a sampling as part of my New Accessory Share – click here for details! You'll also find a share that includes this lucious 1 1/4" Striped Black Grosgrain Ribbon shown here.


WHAT TO ORDER:

Watercolor Trio Stamp Set (Wood – 117050, Clear – 120084), Growing Green Stamp Set (Wood – 118758, Clear – 120624), Rich Razzleberry Cardstock (115316), Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink (115658), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Basic Black Cardstock (121045), Basic Black 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (115615 – share also available), Watercolor Paper (105019), Crumb Cake Cardstock (120953), Newsprint Designer Series Paper (117166 – share also available), Antique Brads (117273 – share also available), Neutrals Brads (119736 – share also available), Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware (111325), Basic Pearls (119247), Linen Thread (104199), Designer Label Punch (119862), Photo Corner Punch (119878) and Aqua Painters (103954)

Whoops! So here it is, a card showcasing the "Greenhouse Garden" stamp set – which you can of course sill order!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

  • To achieve this shimmery watercolored look on the flowers, you're going to mix up ahead of time some Rubbing Alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in a Sprtiz Bottle. Then, ink up your bold, colored, base image (So Saffron, Rose Red and Bashful Blue shown here) and BEFORE stamping the image on your cardstock, give the rubber and ink a direct sprtiz with our Shimmer Mist. This will add shimmer and blend your ink!
  • The spritz look to the left of the main image was done with a Color Spritzer Tool and a Rose Red Stampin' Write Marker – sprtizing all the way through (a theme I seem to have going on these days!)
  • Paper Piercing is made easing with the Stampin' Up! Mat Pack and Paper Piercing Tool, as shown along the thin strip of Sahara Sand Cardstock.
  • Using the Corner Rounder on cardstock adds a look of subtle softness to any project!

 

Did you notice that I used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint that was in the Holiday Mini Catalog? Did you know that it's still available for purchase!? That's right! The Shimmer Paints and several other products from both the Holiday Mini and Occasions Mini Catalog are being carried over! To help you keep track of what you can still order, I've posted a PDF link to a printable brochure. Here's a look at the brochure…

6:30 – 9:30 pm
at Aly's Stamping Studio in West Irondequoit, NY

Non-Refundable Pre-Pay Deadline: April 1st!


These classes are held monthly, and at each Scrapbooking Class you attend, you will complete 2, 2-page 12×12 layouts – 4 pages total. If you already scrapbook, add these pages to your existing album. If you don't, you could come to this class monthly and never scrapbook outside of class and have a fabulous 48-page album after a year!

The First Time you attend a Scrapbooking Class, you'll receive a FREE 12×12 Page Keeper to use every month to transport your completed pages home. In addition, at your first Scrapbooking Class Only, you can purchase any Scrapbook of your choice at a 20% discount!

Our April Scrapbooking Class is a "Spring Song" Scrapbooking Class. Create fabulous springy pages that are generic enough to be used for any photos you have!

Here's a look at just one of the layouts we will create that evening (these pages are designed to go side-by-side so the second page doesn't have a title and instead has room for journaling). Just as an aside, scrapbook photos are very difficult to photograph. I did the best I could, but the photos just doesn't do these layouts justice! If you would like to see them in person before you sign up for the class, stop on by my studio at any time and I would be happy to show them to you!:



You don't need to bring any photos with you to the scrapbooking classes, the pages are designed so that you can just add those on your own later, once you find the perfect photo!

The cost of this class is $18 and includes 1/2 pack of Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper (go home with what you don't use) and all other supplies needed.

You can put a check or money order made payable to Aly Schilling in the mail and send it to 67 Covington Rd, Rochester NY 14617. Or, you can pay online now using a safe and secure checkout with your credit/debit card using the link below ($1 transaction fee applied):

Hope you'll join us!

Because I find I'm always wanting to share things from "The Regional" – but there wasn't actually a Regional! So these SWAPS are from the "Regional that Wasn't"!! A bunch of ladies that were attending and already had their SWAPS done mailed them so that we could still exchange some ideas. I still have about 40 SWAPS un-swapped… I think I'll have to sign up for an online SWAP somewhere!

Created by Kristen Koskie: Kristen used one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog, Vintage Vogue! I love the simplicity of this card and what she's done to distress the Scallop Circle Punch and make it into a floral accent.

Created by Debbie Sowards: This stamp set "Simply Said", is an oldie but a goodie! It's been around the block for a while, but it never gets old to me. Every time I see a card done with it, I just say "Oh how I love that stamp set!" I just love Debbie's color selection of Sage Shadow, Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip.

Created by Michelle Fairbrother: The top of this card that the flower is on is actually a flap that opens up and you can stick a gift card or note inside! Very cute. I also love how she created the flower itself by distressing circle layers – it looks like she did the same thing as Kristen did on the first card I showed and misted water on the cardstock to crinkle it up better. Her use of the Scallop Corner Punch is also very cleaver!
