February with Udderly Wonderful and Mix-ins

 Just couldn't let February end without sharing what I did with the

Udderly Wonderful stamps (C1922) and Mix-ins (X9036) 

from the January-February catalog.  

I took the design for the tag card and the one on the easel

from the catalog.  The other two were inspired by another consultant.

I used various methods to color the cow.

 

The top two used watercolor pencils with Intense Black ink.

The bottom two used Tri-blend markers that we carry with Intense Black ink.

That ink does not smudge or run when you get it wet!.

IF YOU LIKE THE STAMPS, they will still be available after the end of

February.  The Thin Cuts have sold out.   The images are super easy to

cut out so don't deprive yourself of this fun set.

You will save a little on the cost and still have lots of fun with the lovely cow

and her "sides."

  They bring a smile to everyone who sees them.

Here's the whole set--  C1922--Udderly Wonderful  for $14.95

November with Candid Moments and the Stamp of the Month

November is almost gone and I didn't post

my projects for this month!  

I used the Candid Moments papers and the 

Stamp of the Month, Created to Shine

The theme of these stamps and being the light

is especially meaningful to me.  I love the corner card that you could have on your desk as a reminder to 

"Let YOUR light shine!

The world needs that goodness!

 

You can get the stamp of the month for $5 with a $50 order or it can be FREE with a $50 order if you are a VIP.

July Stamp of the Month-Strong Roots

I am creating in July using the July Stamp of the Month

Strong Roots.

You may purchase Strong Roots outright for $18.95, get it for $5.00 when you order $50 in products -or_ when you are a VIP you get it FREE with a $50 order!

Here are the designs I used to bring this stamp set to life.

The item on the easel is a little album made with 4 x 4 Flip Flaps.

 

Then inside the cards:

See how the insides of the cards all featured stamps from this set?

I chose papers from the Wood Grain Paper Packet  X8017

paired with Sage and Sangria cardstock and colored in with Tri-Blend Markers

to compliment the designs.  Paper piecing was employed to accent the door in

the door stamp.  Note, when using the Tri-Blend markers , you need to stamp 

and color them on a separate piece of cardstock then cut them out and glue to your card because 

the markers will bleed through the card base.

My policy is to send you a card you can use for every $25 in product that you order on my website:

https://pamsheartart.closetomyheart.com

You may contact me through my email at pamsheartart@boltfiber.net if you have any questions

March Stamp of the Month

Winged Masterpiece S2103

$18.95-or- $5 with a $50 product purchase 

-or-

If you are a VIP---FREE with a $50 product purchase

Here are a couple things I did with this set:

 

I used the butterfly wings to emboss in white 

the triangles and the small bow (Z3690 dies).

The paper is from Daisy Meadows.

I created a "marbled" effect on vellum.  Here is the tutorial:

Marbled Vellum Background

Needed:

90% rubbing alcohol (I used Equate 91%)

Paint brush

Dish for the rubbing alcohol

Vellum piece

Triblend markers 

Silicone All Purpose Mat Z2045

Craft Heater and Embossing Powder

 

1.      Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol in dish.

Using the DARK end of your markers, scribble color onto the vellum.

 

4.      Dab rubbing alcohol onto the vellum.

The color will start to run together. Do not “paint” with the brush.

UUsing the craft heater, dry the color.  The heater will blow around the color.  The drying happens quickly.

6.      In this example I stamped the dragonfly with White Daisy pigment ink and used the White embossing powder on it.

 Back  vellum piece with a white piece of cardstock and mat with desired color.

 

With heart,

Pam
