May Special

 

 

This is the cutest paper pack ever!! 

An $11.95 value, you can earn this kit for only $5 with a $50 purchase!

 

(Sorry, the While Supplies Last items don't count.)

 

These are some fun projects I made with the paper...plus I plan to add a few more cards soon!

 

 

This paper goes great with the May stamp of the Month, but I'm thinking the next cards will feature that stamp set with the feathers.  :o)

 

I may have to do a workshop in June with this paper pack.

 

What do you think?

 

 

Have a great day!

Kissing is Fun!

 

Have you tried this technique? 

Can you tell what part of this card has been "kissed?"

 

It's a little tricky, but "kissing" can really expand the possibilities
 of your stamp sets.

 

You can see there is only one bunny stamp on this stamp set.

 

How did I make another one going the other direction?

 

I enlisted another stamp set to help me out! 

 

This is a background stamp set...with a fairly solid pattern. 

 

You can make any stamp "solid" by turning it over and sticking the designed image to the block instead of the flat side!  But, for a project like this, it will work better

if the designed side was mostly solid.

 

 

Stamp your image on the cardstock...then stamp your image on your flat helper stamp.

 

(That is the kissy part!!)

 

You'll need to practice a few times on scratch paper because

the backside of a stamp is really slippery!!

 

Take your "kissed" image and stamp it directly on the cardstock. 

 

The stamp will really stick to the cardstock because it is so solid!

 

Now you have a mirror image of your stamp!

 

Yes, it is a little lighter and less pristine than the original stamped image. 

 

If you need them to be more similar, try using 2nd generation for the original image...or using a darker color for the 'kissed" image.  Practice will probably help, too!

 

However, I didn't want twin bunnies for my card, so I liked that

the "kissed" bunny turned out differently!

 

 

Have a great day!

Studio Savings

March Special

 

 

Studio J is Close to My Heart's online scrapbooking software.

This state-of-the-art online program is so easy to use, here are some ideas:

 

-  Design layouts to copy with your paper supplies  (free!)

 

-  Make full scrapbooks you intend to give to multiple people ($2.95 for a .jpg)

 

-  Scrap those "extra" photos that may not be worth the time in the scrap room ($5 in March!)

 

-  Create layouts while traveling (no messes to clean up!)

 

 

Here are some fun (and very fast!) layouts I did of my deployment on USS BENFOLD.

We received beanie hats from a knitting club - one for every Sailor on the ship!

These are my Studio J layouts of us having fun with our new hats:
