Fun stamping with vellum

Happy Saturday friends.  Tonight I am popping in to share with you a card I put together after being inspired by a fellow Fun Stampers Journey coach,, Kazan Micheletos Clark.  In her version she used a different color background as well as a different image that she embossed in the background.

the card is a 5 by 7 

step 1..I made a mat for it with FSJ Whip Cream Card Stock..#CS-0040

step 2..using a dauber (TO-0137) and Cranberry Bliss ink (IP-0049) using small circles ink the edges of the white mat

step 3.. using  Journey vellum (PP-0044) and Journey clear pigment ink (IP-0102) and stamp set Summer Garden (SS--0078) stamp the image twice with the pigment ink and then heat emboss with the Journey White embossing powder (IP-0098)

Step 4 Stamp the bees on vellum with pigment in and then heat emboss with the Journey Silver embossing powder (IP-0100)

step5...Fussy cut the flowers and bees

step 6.. I used the smaller flowers from the Summer Garden stamp set as well as the pine branch from the stamp set Poinsettia Burst ( SS-0524)and heat embossed in white on the actual mat over the cranberry bliss ink.

Step 7.. using Journey foam Squares I popped up the embossed flowers and then glued the bees right on the mat.

step 8..I stamped the sentiment..Thinking of you from the stamp set  Sentimental Prints (SS-0072)

on to a thin piece of Whip Cream card stock and then matted that with the Mirror Gold Card stock (CS-0136) and popped a couple gold gems..(AC-0292)

I really love how this came out, I am going to try it with other colors and different sentiments!

Poinsettia Burst

Hello everyone, I hope today finds you safe. The people of Florida have been on my mind for a couple days now.. I hope everyone is in a safe place.

It is feeling a little fall like here, so I decided to stay in today and play with my Fun Stampers Journey kit.  

I did not think I would really be interested in getting any die bundles, because I have a Cricut machine and I can cut most anything, but when I started playing with the Poinsettia Burst (# BD-0295) stamp and die bundle I fell in love. I used clear pigment ink and stamped the poinsettias and then used white embossing powder to heat emboss and I LOVED them..

I think I am going to have to get some more of these bundles!

You can see this bundle as well as many more on my website.  There is soo many wonderful, fun products carried by Fun Stampers Journey.. check them out in the link below

Fun Stampers Journey starter kit

Fun STtampers Journey promo

Hi paper crafters!! Cathy here to share a promo with you!!

Have you ever thought about becoming a Fun Stampers Journey Coach??

Well, this is a perfect time to consider it. We are having an awesome  promotion this month only for anyone who signs up to be a Journey Coach.

 What is a Journey Coach?   Well, Journey Coach is someone who signs up to be an independent distributor of Fun Stampers Journey products.  But, wait.  You do not have to sell a thing!  That is right!  Not one thing.  All you are required to do is purchase or sell $150.00 of products each quarter.  That is right only $50.00 a month!   Who doesn't spend at least that much on craft supplies a month?  That is the lowest requirement in the industry!  That's it.  That is all you have to do.  Of course, if you want to turn it into a business that is fine too, but it is not a requirement.  You would be considered a hobbyist and would receive all the benefits and discounts any other coach would receive! 

Sound good??? I recently signed up and have been a grand time playing with their products.. I will be posting a video soon of some products and projects..

For more info, head to my website. or message me, would be happy to help out.
