Leadership Artisan Samples 2015- Something Borrowed DSP

Welcome to our last week of shares for the projects we created for the Leadership display boards!

I was assigned the Something Borrowed DSP & it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with it. So I started with a simple Congrats card-
 

 
Then I grabbed my Mini Treat Bag Thinlits & made a pretty package for a gift card for the new couple-
 

 
Next up (My Fave!) I made an over the top box using the Gift Box Punchboard with the idea that the bride may need to give her Maid of Honor a little something extra fabulous!
 
 

 
Well I hope you have enjoyed our projects & are inspired today!

Stampin Up Artisan Blog Hop- Trendy Stripes

Welcome to this week's Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! 
 This week my card was totally inspired by a couple current trends-Gold & Stripes! 


To put a fun spin on my stamped images I inked them with versamark & used Heat n Stick power with Gold glitter.
For the "birthday" I embossed it on the gold foil with gold embossing powder. 
 

I thought about making another identical card in Black & Blue to poke fun at that viral picture with the dress which I could have sworn was white & gold, lol!
 
 Anyway that's all I have for now so let's head on over to drool over whatever Sarah has created!

Butterfly Stamps

Yesterday I posted about how to make stamps with your Big Shot- if you missed it see it HERE
& today I am sharing a couple more cards I created with those stamps!

We attend the Scrapbook Expo over the weekend & my girls made a pretty make n take that used ink sprays & Gesso so I wanted to give it a try. This look is so far from anything I have done but it is kind of growing on me...


 I mixed up some ink sprays in Razzleberry, Daffodil, & Coastal Cabana by mixing re inker & alcohol in our Stampin' Spritzers.


Thanks for stopping by today!

How To Make Stamps!

I have been wanting to try this for some time & last night I finally got it done!

Supplies Needed:
Big Shot
Thinlits
Thin Fun Foam
Tombow Liquid Glue

(You can try this with any die but for now I will be talking about the butterfly.)

Step One: Die cut a butterfly from the fun foam. You will need 2 butterfly's. 
No shims or wax paper or anything was needed. 
I used the magnetic platform & didn't get any resistance when I rolled it through. 

Step Two: Use the liquid glue to attach the butterfly's together. 

Step Three: Add a light layer of liquid glue to one side of the butterfly & let it dry. Tombow glue becomes repositionable once dry so this is how it will attach to your clear block!

Now you're ready to stamp!


Clean your foam stamp with a baby wipe to switch between ink colors. 
Hope you give this a try & I'd love to see your creations so feel free to leave a link in the comments!
