Technique Tuesday

Hello Stampers! I found this awesome video from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts on the shattered glass technique and decided to give it a try. I am always up for the challenge of a new technique especially if I can turn around and teach it at my next club/camp and look like a genius! Naw, my girls know that I CASE about 80% of my work, lol!! Give this one a try, it's alot easier than it looks! The only thing that I did that I didn't see in the video was wipe the old olive with a paper towel to remove excess ink. Enjoy!

Ink: black stazon, old olive, regal rose

Hello Stampers! Sorry that I have been MIA lately but work has been CRAZY! We changed our registration system, ordering system and some of our xray equipment last week and had very little training on it and it was xray hell!! Needless to say, I wasn't in the mood to stamp last week!

I made a few cards this week in between preparing stamp club projects. This one is a card I made for a coworker. Her birthday was last saturday and we totally missed it with all the chaos going on so we made up for it today with a little mini-potluck.

Enjoy!

Sunday's post

Hello Stampers! This is a card that I whipped up a few months ago. A coworker asked me to make a card for her grandson's birthday. I can't even remember the name of the stamp set off hand but I do know that it is a retired set. I made the clouds by making a template out of scrap cardstock and sponging. The name was cut out using the Cricut. If you would like any other details, feel free to leave a comment and I will try to figure it out, lol.
