Get Crackin'

Have you challenged your stamping capabilities lately? I have not and decided I need to try something new.

I've been a fan of the cracked glass look, but was too intimidated to give the technique a try. Silly me! Not only was it easy, but super cool! I had a blast and made a bunch of cards.

I stamped a branch from the Stampin' Up! Watercolor Trio set three times slightly overlapping each one. I used the colors Bashful Blue & Certainly Celery from the Stampin' Up! Subtles collection. They are nice soft colors for the look I wanted to achieve. I sponged the edges in the Bashful Blue and the began the cracked glass process. Click HERE for the tutorial. My favorite part is when you take it out of the freezer and begin cracking. Love it!

Let me know if you try the cracked glass technique or if you've done it before?

Don't forget to e-mail me if you are interested in my Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Share. There are still some shares left.

Now get crackin' and happy stamping!

You will receive a 72 sheet assortment of double-sided 6"x6" Designer Series Paper for just $25 (including shipping/handling).

How to order: E-mail me at tiffanyscardtique@verizon.net by August 1st and tell me how many sets you would like to order and include your address.

Artistic Etchings

Oh how I love the new vintage style stamps and supplies on page 124-125 of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog!

I created my own patterned paper using the Stampin' Up! set Artistic Etchings. It's such a beautiful stamp set. I decided to keep the colors from the neutral collection utilizing Early Espresso (new color), Sahara Sand, and Whisper White. To make the card look a little distressed, I sponged Early Espresso randomly over the entire card. I rounded the Sahara Sand card stock corners with a corner punch.

Don't forget you can download a copy of the new catalog by clicking on the catalog image on my right side bar. Please be patient. The download takes a few minutes.

Happy stamping!

Watercolor Trio

Watercolor Trio is by far my most favorite set from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog. It's all inclusive - images with three different sentiments.

Curious as to how I stamped with various colors? I used the Stampin' Up! Many Marvelous Markers brush tip to add color directly onto the stamp where I wanted it. It's very easy and gives amazing results.
