Celebrate You Stamparatus Hinge Step

I decided to add one more Stamparatus Hinge step

sample, so that you can see different ways to use

this techique.   This sample uses the Amazing You

stamp set from the SAB offerings, which I am "guessing"

might be in the upcoming 2018-29 annual catalog,

since the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies will be available. 

Timeless Textures (p 154) can also be used

with the Hinge Step technique, to help you line up

all of your stamped images.

The other entertaining thing about this card is 
that the coffee stain stamp sort of looks like a large "C"
in front of the "celebrate" sentiment.

Sending you Hugs

I got my Stamparatus a while back,

and have played with it just a little.

In this example, I used the Lovely Inside & Out

set (annual p 157) to stamp a series of "HUGS" by

moving the Stamparatus hinge down the device.

For more information on the hinge step

technique, please check out the 

Stampin' Up! video below.  The Stamparatus

will be available in the upcoming 2018-19 Annual Catalog

Easter Blessings

The cross is the lightening rod of grace,

that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ,

so that only the light of his love,

remains for believers. 

Bubble over on Springtime Foils

One more time with the FREE (with $50 purchase) 

Springtime Foils Specialty DSP (SAB2 on page 3)!  I just had to

feature this DSP, by sponging it with Berry Burst ink.

I added the image and sentiment from Bubble Over

(Occasions p 32) to complete the bubbly look!

Springtime Foils Specialty with Brusho and Polished Stone

As promised, here is another project that uses the 

FREE (with $50 purchase) Springtime Foils Specialty DSP

(SAB2 on page 3).  This project uses Brusho Crystal Colour,

which is then blended with rubbing alcohol, a.k.a Polished Stone.

The Brusho colour does not move or blend as much as regular

ink, but it did lighten when wiped with rubbing alcohol.

I did use a heat tool to move and dry the Brusho,

before rubbing with the alcohol.

The Copper foil sentiment comes from the Celebrate You

Thinlits Dies (SAB p 17).  I also used the "burst" from

the coordinating set.

Polished Stone Springtime Foils Specialty DSP

SAB is almost over, so I will likely feature these products

for the next several posts.  In fact, the rest of my cards 

might all include the FREE (with $50 purchase) 
Springtime Foils Specialty DSP

(SAB2 on page 3).  I love this stuff!!

In this example, my plan was to use the Polished Stone

technique.  I took ink pads and dragged both Peekaboo Peach

and Flirty Flamingo across the DSP.  I used these two

In Colors (annual p 184), because they will retire in May.

Then I took a cotton ball, lightly soaked with rubbing

alcohol, and created "splotches".  The rubbing alcohol

removes or moves the ink, creating lightened spots.

This technique worked REALLY WELL on the glossy surface of

the Springtime Foils Specialty DSP.  Happily, it looks
like spring/Easter time.

The Silver foil sentiment comes from the Celebrate You

Thinlits Dies (SAB p 17).   I could have dressed this up

more, by adding additional accessories, but opted to 

leave it "plain".
