Stampin Stresss Away with Carole'Anne

With All my Heart begins new Challenge

Good morning it's Monday!

Sadly the weekend is over! What a wonderful weekend I had yhippy! Got sooooooooooo much done!

This week over at Late Night Stampers is all about the Vintage look!

soooooooo are you ready to see some vintage stuff from "ME" he he ?>

Should be fun right???

okay and then silly I always sign up for all these things cause I just love it - and then I have finish these projects..................

soooooooo...............

let's see what kind of projects I had to do this weekend! Are you ready???
he he!

okay so I have swap that I had to do cards for...........

I decided to use the vintage theme and with it I found Makeesha's colour challenge which I thought was just perfect!

I also used the Sketch from Card Patterns

It started more like this but I really mixed it up - if you look at it side ways it

that is what I did pretty much LOL!

Then I told myself........... Keep it simple Carole'Anne

well let's see how simple I kept my Vintage swap card LOL

I started with the colour above on Sunday morning at 1:00am I know I am soooo CRAZY I could not sleep, so down to my wonderfully warm and cozy craft room.......

after taking my card stock out...................

I started with alot of dies and alot of BIG SHOT action

I know someone is going to enjoy more Big Shot ideas.................

Roscoe's mommy he he :)

 

I then continued with some leaves and a few trial and errors and BAD

me I forgot to document those I was so intensilly working on these that I left out the photos sorry

After doing alot of flowers on my big shot I used our new Flower punch from the mini

it's on page 13!

then I punched a bunch of little circles

ouh I bet you are wondering what the heck I am doing LOL

okay so now that the damage is done I went ahead and stamped with the Baroque Motifs stamp

at first I did a blend of the so saffron and chocolate chip

 
I then krimped the flowers................

added a little edge

then I crimped

 

okay at his point I don't like what I have

so don't like it

hum???

I like this edge better 

but I am still not like over the top with it sooooooooooooooo

I am taking a break now

so it's 2:10 am and I am giving the cards a break I am going to build the last cabinet for my craft room

now for a hammer in my hands instead of stamp LOL

coming along very nicely want to see what it looks like?

 
I also added another row of shelves for my stamps.

My Renee and Woody put that one together for me on Saturday night and they put it up on top of the other one............... Good kid........ Uh? she could be doing worse things on a Saturday night eyh? he he :) I Love her!

now I have all my stamps re-organized included the new clear stamps - I sorted all the retired ones and they all aphabetized

yhe for me

and there we go all organized

I still have lot's to do but it can wait

off to finish my card

so I took out some Shimmer Paint..............

Nooooooooo REALLY I did! LOL

and a dabber

and I edged all my flowers

getting there uh?

after I edged I Crimped and assembled with the beautiful new brads that are in the

Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalogue on Page 13!

okay are you ready??
 

Asembly time and I am almost done phew!

it is now 7:15pm and I have to admit I am a little tired lol :-)

here we got what do you think??

it looks easy right - but boy oh boy when you have to do 10 it's CRAZY

ever noticed I am on the crazy side LOL :)

up close of the flowers that I die cut and edged and then crimped

The Dies I used are as follows:

TUTORIAL on CLEAR STAMPS

 

so my first tutorial I want to share with you is-

what you will do with your new clear stamps

 

When you open your beautiful little case - this is what will see inside

 

so you will first peel the back off a sticker

okay.... Now you pick up your rubber die cut stamp - you peel off the back

now apply the rubber stamp to the sticker - leave your sticker on the table and just put your stamp right one top - and don't seperate from the sheet - just leave it all in tacked 

like this!

 
now just pull off and you have a sticker on your stamp and we are ready to apply to our fabulous stamp to the NEW Stampin Up Acrylic Block

   apply to block

apply direct pressure for about 4 seconds............... now we are ready to stamp with our fablous new CLEAR stamps from Stampin Up!

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

okay let's stamp with this AMAZING STAMP

I used Versa Mark and clear embossed it

 

now for my next turorial.......... Did I mention that I had a LONG POST today LOL :)

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

Stampin Up Pearls Invented by Carole'Anne

tutorial

okay so we will start with Crystl Effect, Shimmer paint and a stylus

now we are going to apply the first dabs of Crystal Effects to our desired areas... with the stylus

let dry for a few minutes.

 
I am trying to capture the little drops that I did the Crystal effects

now apply a dab of shimmer paint on top of each crystal effects drop

let sit for a few minutes

now apply another coat of Crystal effects.............. and voila

You have BEAUTIFUL pearls invented by  Carole'Anne  he he :)

up close of the pearls - the shimmer on the paper is not from the shimmer paint - it's the NEW designer papper - it's so pretty
