Woodland Newsprint

I'm in love with this new stamp set, Growing Green. 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.

The Regional that Wasn’t SWAPS

I'm now referring to the Syracuse Regional as "The Regional that Wasn't" – lol! 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!

Landon’s Christmas Thank You’s

Today, I thought I would share with you an idea for you if your kids are too young to sit down and make a card! Being in the creative business, I've been trying to expose Landon to creativity early on. Finger Painting has been the point of interest!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• I gave Landon a piece of Finger Paint Paper, Red and Green Finger Paint, and let him have at it! After the paper had dried, I cut it into 4" x 5 1/4" pieces so that they would fit on the front of a card.
• If you get the large Finger Paint Paper, you're able to get 8 cards out of one sheet, so you don't have to worry about having your kids paint to many multiplies.
• I added the greetings from "Family Phrases" Stamp Set, the hand print is a retired stamp set that I couldn't resist.

WHAT TO ORDER

Glorious Green Cardstock (101697), Real Red Classic Ink (103133), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Family Phrases Stamp Set (114960)
