I discovered a SUPER COOL Hexagon Punch tip this weekend while stamping..

Use your HEXAGON PUNCH to make a CUTE CUTE CUTE flag embellishment!

whoohooo!!  I love how this shape goes better with the Chevron paper and ribbon than doing this with the square punch!!

WHITE CRAFT INK WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE

In April I taught a class that included this fun technique.  I learned this technique from Sandi MacIver and I knew my ladies would love this one!

 

WHITE CRAFT INK WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE - STEP BY STEP

1.  stamp and heat emboss an outline image with white craft ink and white embossing powder on a dark cardstock

2. put a small puddle of white craft ink refill in a plastic cup or lid, and put water in your Aquapainter

3. squeeze your aquapainter enough to wet the tip, then dip it into the white craft ink paint and "paint" with the "white paint" inside the lines of your stamped image

4.  let the above step dry for a couple hours, or use heat tool to speed drying

5.  place Stampin' Up! Classic reinker drops on a plastic lid or tray and use wet Aquapainter to pick up color and paint OVER the dry white area

6.  add more layers of color depending on how dark or light you want your painted areas

I love this new background stamp called Wildflower Meadow..

check out how lovely it is when "watercolored".

The new Wildflower Meadow background stamp can be viewed on pg 83 of the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog!  I prefer my background stamps in Wood mount, but you have your choice of wood or clear.  If you select Clear Mount, you'll need the "F" clear block, #118483, on pg 196 in the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog.

DIRECTIONS FOR FAUX WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE:

Step 1:  Use Stampin' Write markers directly on the rubber of the stamp

Step 2:  mist the inked rubber lightly with a Stampin' Spritzer filled with water

Step 3:  stamp image onto watercolor paper

Step 4: LIGHTLY mist the watercolor paper with the Stampin' Spritzer filled with water

Did you see that I colored the Very Vintage Button?

I dipped it in the Versamark pad, then into Tangerine Tango embossing powder and heated it!  The technique is just like embossing Vintage Brads here.

Get your new 2013 Stampin' Up! Catalog here!

NEW PRODUCT SAMPLERS - INFO HERE

--------------------------

I have a fabulous technique for you today!  This was shared by one of my Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrators, Janet from Kansas!  Thank you Janet for sharing this cool technique!

VIDEO BELOW.. SCROLL DOWN...

Check out the fabulous background >>>

on this card.. it is a

WAXED PAPER RESIST TECHNIQUE!

Supplies you'll need:

Brayer #102395

ink pad of your choice

Glossy paper #102599**

(eeek gads.. it's sold out!

see below for alternate)

embossing folder

waxed paper

Please watch the video below for all the instructions.  (if you are viewing this in an email, you'll need to click on my blog to view the video)

 

The card above was made with Marina Mist ink, but look how beautiful this technique is with Perfect Plum ink!

STEP BY STEP HOW TO CREATE WAXED PAPER RESIST

(see video above)

STEP 1:

cut waxed paper to about 4-1/2"x6" (slightly larger than your card front)

STEP 2:

Place waxed paper in an embossing folder, and run through the Big Shot

STEP 3:

on your ironing board, place a piece of copy paper/computer paper, then place a piece of Glossy Cardstock, glossy side up, place the embossed waxed paper on top, then another piece of copy paper over that.  Iron on COTTON SETTING (NO STEAM) for a few seconds.. do not rub (see video)

STEP 4:

ink your brayer with desired color, then roll onto glossy cardstock that has the waxed paper design on it

STEP 5:

use a kleenex or paper towel and rub off any excess ink

DONE! use your background on your card or project

Try two colors!

Try other embossing folders!

Have fun!

 

** I am sad that the Glossy White cardstock has sold out, however, I'm HAPPY TO REPORT that you can do this technique with Shimmery White cardstock (#101910) and with Whisper White Cardstock (#100730) both from Stampin' Up!

EDITED TO ADD 5/22/13: several people have emailed me to say that you can also try Photo Paper (from office supply stores) if you are out of glossy paper... thank you everyone!

Quick Tip for Punched Paper Flowers

Shop Online Anytime for Stampin' Up! Supplies

and Earn Free Stamps with Patty!

 

Just popping by to share a quick tip that I have been using on some of my stamped card projects..

How to make a quick 3-D flower out of a flower punch using your Stampin' Pierce Mat!

Step 1: punch flowers with the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack flower (#118309) with Stampin' Up! cardstock of your choice

Step 2: lay them on your Stampin' Pierce Mat (#126199)

Step 3: Use the flat end of any pen, pencil or other tool and depress the paper flower into the mat (if you have the old style Stampin' UP! paper piercer, this works too)

VOILA.. it makes your flower 3-D!

TIP:  use a GLUE DOT to apply your flower to your project.

Go Try it! :)

You can create stamped artwork, or punch out any Designer Paper center for these soda pop tops (1" circle punch for the large pop top, and 1/2" circle punch for the small pop tops), but what I decided to try was some printed circles in
