Soot Stamping - and Last day to order Pirates!

Today is the last day to order from the Current Idea Book and Catalog!
If you haven't ordered yet you can still order today directly from my website.

I'm sad to see some sets go -- especially the Beware Pirates set I used on this card. I love this set.-- It makes great cards for guys or teenagers-- or for anyone really, I mean, who doesn't like pirates?

This card was party of the June Technique class. It's a technique called Soot Stamping. You have to be very careful… it involves a candle and flame! Luckily, none of the girls in my class caught anything on fire!! But If you can carefully do the technique, you get great results! Isn't it cool?

If you are liking my techniques, contact me to sign up for the next class!

thanks for reading- Have a great day!

More Pirates!

I'm behind on posting... too much stuff going on this week and ended up with cold for a few day so I've got a whole bunch of stuff to share that I haven't had time to post! To start off, here's another pirate card! I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the base and the scripty stamp from French Foliage is stamped up the side. I love how the scripty words look with the pirates! The rest is pretty simple. The pirate on the skull is stamped in chocolate chip ink on whisper white cardstock. Then I stamped the "ARRRR" in crumb cake below him. I framed the stamped image with old olive and chocolate chip cardstock. Then to add a little fun detail I added some folded ribbon and a button on the bottom. I had to put glue between each fold of the ribbon to get it to stay down but it looks really cool!

Stay tuned for some more Halloween stuff next...

Arrrrrg! I love pirates!

Happy October! I can't believe it's October already.... October is one of my favorite months, I love the cool fall air, apple orchards, and Halloween!

Today I'm sharing a fun Pirate card. This could be great for Halloween or just for a birthday card to someone who likes pirates. I used the stamp set Beware Pirates to Stamp the pirate ship. I colored it with markers, first coloring the inside soft suede and going around the edges with old olive. Then I stamped it on Whisper White paper. Over the top I randomly stamped the scripty text image from the French Foliage stamp set. I thought it made a nice layered look. To make the soft suede paper look aged I just scruched and squeezed it up until it looked distressed. The rest of the card is simple...some river rock, a couple of brads and that's it!
