Stamping with Lynn

Halloween Treat favors

I used some leftover pieces from the Witching Decor project kit to make this gusseted cello bag treat favor.  Inside the cello bag is a 3.75" x 10" piece of designer series paper.  This one uses the Happy Haunting dsp.  The 2nd bag uses retired Halloween dsp that I first experimented with.  This piece is scored at 1", 6", and 8.5" and then folded so that it has a flat base with a flap in front and then the top part folds over, facing the front also.  The gusseted bags are on page 151 of the annual Stampin'Up! catalog, #133770, $4.50, for 25 bags.  Here is picture from convention showing the score info.

It is hard to see, but it has a flat base for holding the candy.  The stamping is from the Witches' Night stamp set that I used on the Witch's hat also.  The black spider web and the "31" and the striped background piece are all leftovers from the hat kit.  Just by changing out the designer series paper, you could have darling Christmas, baby, birthday, etc. candy favors!

Watercolor Wings stamp set and Timeless Elegance designer series paper

Can you see the "hint" of Pink Pirouette that I sponged on the Timeless Elegance designer series paper?  The bottom layer of ink on the butterfly is also Pink Pirouette.  My card base is Very Vanilla with a strip of Basic Black behind the dsp strip.  My butterfly is stamped with the Pink Pirouette, Smoky Slate, and the new Archival Basic Black inks.  Stamp clubs will be making this card this month as well as two others.  Want to join club?  We have openings and you don't have to be local to participate.  Your order can be delivered right to your door using a hostess code.  You will pay $6.95 or 10% for shipping, whichever is greater, but one month you will be hostess and get the Stampin' Rewards freebies!  You will get catalogs free, too.  Fun, fun, fun!

Bravo stamp set, Monochromatic Masking Technique

This technique was shown at convention by the talented Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroon Designs.  She used Candy Dots but I used butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set.  I curved the sentiment from the Bravo stamp set and then stamped it first before doing any masking.  Then I took a window sheet and marked it a wavy line following the bottom of the stamped words.  Then you cut on that line and separate your two pieces and hold them in place with retired Washi Tape or post it notes.  Use sponge daubers to fill in your open wavy space.  This is fun, easy, and addictive.  I used Erica's color combos, and I labeled all my sponge daubers with the color and then the numbers 1,2, 3, and 4 so I can keep the order straight.  I am planning on doing this technique at my August clubs so want to make it easy for the gals!  Thank you, Erica, for the great technique!

The colors on the top card are So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Delightful Dijon, and Hello Honey. The second card colors are Pool Party, Soft Sky, Mint Macaron, and Wild Wasabi! 

Watercolor Wings Magic Card

Pull up and see the magic!

The backside with the sentiment!

This is my 2nd attempt at a magic card!  The first one I posted last month using the No Bones About it stamp set.  This one uses the Watercolor Wings stamp set (page 75 #139424).  My card base is Pool Party with Basic Black, Whisper White, and Window Sheets. I used Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, and Black Stazon ink. The small, individual butterflies are from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, page 107. I googled Magic Card tutorial and watched a video by Dawn Griffith.  I did change measurements for this card because of the bigger image.  Hope you like!
