Masked sun scene - on the wing again!

Today I am sharing another card I made for the design call for our National Conference.  It is an elusive one layer card!  I know I have trouble keeping it simple and making a card with just one layer of cardstock.  This one packs a punch with masking!

I started out with a circle punched out from a Post it note.  Apply it to the card where you want the sun to be.  Then using a sponge dauber and Papaya ink sponge around the post it.  Then remove the post it and stamp the bird on top.  This one I used Cherry ink - and I did another one with Eucalytus and it looked great too!

Then I stamped the foliage and the words with French Roast ink.  I love the sentiment with this set!

Tomorrow is the last day to order from the current catalog - and Wednesday is the first day to order from the new one!  I got my pre-order things today and have been having fun playing!  I have a huge list for my next order too!  

I am off to stamp some more!

butterfly on the fence

We are still on the fence today - this time with the butterfly trio dies and a little glitter!  I cut three butterflies - two from Orange and one from Orange Gingham cardstock.   Before I cut the smallest butterflu though I stuck a piece of Super stick tape on top of the cardstock - so that when I cut it I could peel off the protective layer and simply sprinkle glitter on it!  You can also use Red-line tape - which we will be carrying in the new catalog! 

Next I made my fence piece woth the Sca;;op dies and a piece of sugar cardstock.  Once cut I ran it thru my corrugating tool (boo hoo we do not carry one!)  I attached my fence to a piece of Sky cardstock.  I also cut a piece of Fern cardstoc with the grass die - and attached it to the bottom of the fence.  I folded all the butterflies in half and then attached them just by the spine of the fold with some Tombow Multi glue.

I attached the sky piece to my card and then added the sentiment and some piercing along the edges.

Clean and simple card - not much stamping but it pack a nice punch in texture and dimension with the corrugating, piercing and glitter!

SO on my agenda today - everything I didn't do yesterday!  :-)  I am still playing with my new goodies for my premiere party next week - and anxiously awaiting my order with even MORE goodies!  In the meantime I actually have a huge jewelry order that I have been putting off for way to long that I need to tackle - so I will probably spend most of my day doing that! 

Less than a week is left to order from the retiring list - and till the new catalog goes LIVE! 

On the Fence

This must be one of my favorite stamp sets because I am using it all the time lately!  On the WIng - I stamped the birds with Eucalyptus ink and cut them out.  Then I took a strip of sugar and scallop cut one edge and then ran it thru a crimping tool.  (we dont have one but hope they will add one SOON!)  I attached that piece to the front of a Sky notecard.  Then I cut a piece of Fern with the grass die and aqttached it to the bottom of the card.

I attached the birds on top of the fence with 3D foam adhesives and stamped the greeting with Onyx ink.  For a little finishing touch I tied a piece of Onyx Bakers Twine to the top of the card.

I have another card with this fence idea that I will show you tomorrow!  In the mean time I am working on stuff with NEW Products that I brought home from conference!  I am saving it all for my premiere party on the 2nd - so I won't be sharing any new stuff til then!  You still have time NOW to order from the retiring list though - I was lucky to only have 1 set retiring - but I had a list of ones I wanted and am SO glad to have time left toi get them before they are gone for good!!

If you are like those birds on the card and on the fence about a*muse studio - don't be!  I have heard that from so many people about signing up to "do this".

I am still floating on cloud nine after our National Conference!  I met (and got to know better) some AMAZING women and am SO excited for the journey we are on together with a*muse studio!  It makes such a difference to me to have others with me on the journey!  We can inspire each other and build each other up - and even push each other!   And even better is to get to know the behind the scenes people at the company and their character and ethics.  It means alot to know they have integrity and honestly first and foremost in everything they do.  It means alot to me - and I can go forward passionately promoting a*muse studio with confidence!  If you are looking for a way to do what you LOVE (stamping!) and make some $$ - this is it!  I am telling you they make it easy - way easier than it has ever been for me before.  If you want more info email me!

I am gonna go back to stamping now...:-)  That is after all what this is all about isn't it?

Wasabi loves pebble - the saga

Aren't they sweet?  :-)  I decided to name the birds in this and yesterday's cards Wassabi and Pebble just to be silly.  This was a prototype for my swap card for National Conference - and I decided on yesterday's design because of time!

On a piece of Sugar cardstock I used the On the Wing stamp set for the birds (embossed in black) and the Beautiful Botanicals set for the branch (with Wasabi Ink).  I layered the Sugar piece to Onyx then Wasabi - with a larger edge on the Wasabi layer.  Tied a bit of Onyx Bakers twine around the hwole thing and it was ready to add to the front of the card with 3d Foam Adhesives.  Then I used the Harlequin Impression plate on the Pebble card and sanded it to reveal that yummy white core paper!

You can order any of those items from my online store anytime!  If you need help - or if your order is over $150 email me so I can get you the extra $25 in Free product you get as a hostess!

I am digging in today and getting caught up on all things a|s!  I am planning some super fun things for my Premiere party on Fabruary 2nd!   I have a long to do list!

Wasabi loves Pebble - part one

this is my card that I made for "trades" at the a*muse studio national conference in New Orleans this past weekend.  I am in a wasabi phase lately and do not see any end soon!  Maybe the new colors coming out will lure me out?  They are amazing!  . I can't wait to get home and creating with all the goodies we got!

I used Beautiful botanicals and On the Wing plus words from Woodland Friends.  Tied it up with Onyx Bakers Twine and layer my Wasabi to a Pebble card.

pretty simple but I love it!

I am flying home from NOLA today and am in Houston on a little layover right now. It is so nice to be able to blog a little!   I am coming home with lots of new stuff - including all of our new ink pads!  We got a sheet of all the new papers too!  Plus some stamps of course so I am itching to get in my studio this afternoon.

we had such a blast in NOLA - a|s did a fabulous job on their first conference and they knocked our socks off with the new catalog!  We have 40 more pages of awesome stuff!  Here are some of my favorite things that are at the top of my wish list!

exclusive spellbinders dies - boxes flowers and so much more!
Venetian Palette - inks paper and ribbon too!
Satin Crush and Chevron ribbon
Petite Polka Dot cardstock
and so many stamps sets!  Charming Gardeners and Floral Duets are at the top!

if you want to order a catalog I am still taking pre-orders for $10 postage paid priority mail to you.  That offer ends at the end of the month so be sure to order soon!  I should have them by the end of the week and will be able to mail them out by Friday I hope.

I was apprehensive about the new catalog and if they would add enough to their product line to keep my attention and they did!  We got lots of images to color with copics which was my#1 request.. I am so impressed with them as a young company.  They are on the right track and I am so happy to be along for the ride!  If you are still considering giving amuse a try as a demo we should talk!  They are very business minded and are setting things up to make it so easy to do what you love and actually make money doing it!  Leave me a comment and I will get in touch with you! 

we had the biggest team at conference which makes it all so much more fun.  I was a proud mama!  I was also awarded the rising star award - whoo hoo!  It is because of my wonderful friends that it was made possible.  Thanks guys!  I am looking forward and planning some fun stuff for my team and customers this year!

battery is getting low - hope you have a blessed day!  I am looking forward to a creatively inspired 2012 - even more now that we got such a fabulous catalog!

It's here!

card for sketch #164

 
 

get the InLinkz code

I love vellum - and stamping on it with our a*muse studio inks is just DIVINE!  It has a velvety matte look to it that I just love.  On this card I used slate ink.

I then stamped on a Slate card with Onyx ink with the same ornate elements stamp for a background.  I paired it up with the Silver Damask Shimmer Couture pattern paper.  The slick shiny of this paper is an awesome contrast to the velvety matte vellum.  I added a little Onyx Bakers twine and that was the finishing touch it needed. 

Vellum can be tricky to adhere to you card - but this card uses a real easy trick I like to use to attach vellem so the adhsive cannot be seen!  You simply layer a strip of paper OVER your adhesive!  You have to plan it out a little - but if you strategically place your adhesive behind the vellum it works like a charm!  A simple trick for attaching vellum!

I am opff to our first day of a new Bible Study - we are starting the 2 Peter Precept study - and I am excited for what the Lord has in store for us!  Hope you all have a blessed day!
