THEME – Anything crafty with current SU products

The butterflies on these cards look almost like stained glass. Here’s how to do the Stained Glass Technique-Stamp with Versamark on Vellum Cardstock, heat emboss with the embossing powder of your choice. Color the backside with markers or Blends.

Stamps: Beautiful Day

Paper: Vellum cardstock, Basic Black, Berry Burst, Peekaboo Peach, Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon- Peekaboo Peach and Berry Burst

Ink: VersaMark

Accessories: Scattered Sequins embossing folder, Fluttering embossing folder, Blends- All Dark: Pumpkin pie, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Rich Razzleberry

Techniques: heat embossing, fussy cutting, Stained Glass Technique

Yep, I used the Stained Glass Technique.

Here you can see I colored with Blends on the back side of the butterflies. It looks messy here, but after I fussy cut them and turned them over, they are beautiful!

Here’s a pile of the stained glass butterflies.

My card was cased from this beautiful swap card above.

Head over to Use Your Stuff Challenge this week and enter your Vellum project.

You can see all the products I used at the very bottom of this post.

Stampin Up’s Marcelyn Monday

Marcelyn Churchill is my friend, stamping team member, fellow BSFer (Bible Study Fellowship) and prolific crafter. She doesn’t have a blog, so I share some of her creations on most Mondays.

I think it’s important to drink a lot of water and the best way I’ve found to get myself to drink more water, is put Lemon Essential Oil in it. It tastes delicious!

I’m a huge fan of Young Living Essential Oils and sometimes give bottles of oil as gifts, so I asked Marcelyn to design two boxes, one for the 5ml oil and another for the 15ml. If you know anyone who loves Young Living Oils, please tell them Marcelyn is willing to do custom orders for her oil boxes.

I’ve probably showed you this before, but Marcelyn made this for my Stamping Studio. It’s my favorite frame and picture she’s made, and I will always have it proudly displayed. I love it Marcelyn, thank you!

Yep, she makes really big frames too.

If you would like to know how to make this or anything else shown here today, please email Marcelyn at marcelynchurchill@msn.com Marcelyn loves receiving your emails. Please stop by next week to see more of her creations.

Have you made your cards or 3-D projects for the Festive Friday Challenge? There’s still time, the challenge for Employee Appreciation or projects made with Ribbon is open until 8pm on March 5. You can enter three projects per challenge. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Blessings,

Festive Friday- 3 Hershey’s Miniatures Box

It’s time for the second Festive Friday Challenge! This week’s challenge is Employee Appreciation Day or Ribbon. I used both on my Design Team Entry. For Employee Appreciation Day, you can make a thank you card or gift. You can also make any type of project that includes ribbon.

I usually put more decoration on my boxes, but this Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so stunning I couldn’t bear to cover it up.

Are you wondering where I got the Powder Pink Ribbon to match the box? Yep, you can make any color ribbon using Stampin Up! Markers or Blends and coloring the ribbon. It’s quick and easy and dries almost immediately. Use any of the White or Very Vanilla ribbon options that Stampin’ Up! offers.

I experimented with how to decorate the candy inside, but again went with just the Sweet Soiree DSP wrapped around the Hershey’s Miniatures. I love this paper!

So what projects are you going to make for the Festive Friday Challenge? It’s an amazing challenge where you earn a point every time you enter a card or 3-D item. You can submit 3 entries per challenge. You’ll earn 5 points if you are chosen as one of our Festive Friday Faves (three awards given each week!) You can use your points to choose prizes! One of the prizes will be the tutorial to make my 3 Hershey’s Miniatures Box! Make sure you open an account on the Festive Friday Challenge so you can earn your points. Please leave a comment at the top of this post or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you enter the Festive Friday Challenge or have any questions. 🙂 The challenge will be open until March 5 at 8pm CST. #festivefridaychallenge #FF0002

Hope you’re having a great week!
