You will love these classes

Direct to Paper:
1. Slide brush tip end of a Stampin write marker into slot of color spritzer tool. place marker tip past tip of spritzer and touching tip of spritzer.
2. Hold squeeze pump of the color spritzer tool in your hand with your thumb lightly covering the top end where there is a cap with holes.
3. Point tip with marker down over scrap paper and squeeze quickly and firmly several times to create great texture with ink splatters.
4. Hold the tool further from paper for a lighter spatter and closer for a darker blotchier splatter. Once you have discovered the desired pattern spritz onto card stock. Repeat with another marker color if desired.

Direct to Stamp:
1. Place a medium to dark colored marker in color spritzer tool.
2. Ink a solid image stamp with light to medium colored ink.
3. Spritz ink directly onto inked stamp. Stamp inage onto card stock and see the beautiful speckled ink spattered image.

Valentine Box


I got this idea off the SU website. Thought it would make a perfect Valentine Box. Started my sheet of designer paper at 6 1/2' x 7 3/4'. I scored at 1' , 2 1/2', 3 1/2' ,5 1/2' . On the four corners I cut a 1' x 1'square off and another 1' x 1' square in the middile between the 2 1/2' and 3 1/2' score line. Then all that is left to do is fold your box on the scored lines and seal with your adhesive and decorate to your fitting.

Garden from the Heart

This is using the new "Garden from the Heart" 118568 stamp set from the new catalog mini. I used the new clear mount stamps set with this and just loved them.
From using other companies in the past I can truly say the quality of it is way better.
I also used the new designer series paper "Shade of Spring" 117160
