Blog Hop: “You are My Happy” Stamp Special

During Nat’l Stamping month, CTMH is celebrating with a great deal for you!  When you place a $50 order, you can gat a triple stamp set for $10.  This set features an alphabet set, icon set, and a sentiment set full of “happy”!  If you have arrived here from Jessica's blog, you are on the right track. 

Here are the cards that I made using this stamp set.  I stamped the icons in Slate pigment ink and colored with our alcohol markers to create the “happy” bright colors.

Joy of Subway Tidings

On Monday I shared a video from CTMH about the stamp of the month for September.  After watching the video myself, I set out to create my cards.  Here are the results.

Subway meets Puddles

Puddle pads are a fun way to get lots of bright color with a snap.  I take a piece of felt, just about an inch or more larger than the stamp I plan to use, and place it in a shallow dish.  Then I choose reinkers in the colors I want.  In this case, I was visiting a friend and these were the only colors close to what I was looking for so I went with it!  Let the colors “run together” a bit on your pad, and then I ink the stamp and stamp on my paper.  You can reuse the puddle pad as many times as you like and even cover it to keep it moist.  Eventually, the colors will all run together and you will have the color of mud…not necessarily attractive for your projects.  Give it a try!

 

This is one of the cards we will create at the workshop on September 16th.  RSVP by September 14th so I have space for you!  And, don’t forget to invite a friend to join you for a discount on the class.
