Amuse Stamp Class

This past weekend I went to my local stamp store called Rubberstamp Fantasy and I took an Amuse Class. I just love thse stamps because even though they are so simple and are pretty and fun.



These cards are ALL GIRL......





My instructor was Michelle and she has a blog that is great and good ideas.

My creations

I got motivated a couple of days and I forced myself to use a stamp set and new technique and this is what I came up with.

Here I tried a technique in the new Technique Junkie Newletter

Here I tried a Gate Fold Card and I used my scor pal. Easier than I thought and it was fun to do.

Here I was just playing with my Copic Markers.

This is my favorite because I used the Magic Pencil Technique and then used the tools that I got in March Scrapgoods kit.

This is used a Stampin Up set that I have and never used it before and this is what I created. I can't remember the stamp set name.

I don't know why this scanned in black and white but it is a Hero Arts stamp.

Watercoloring

I was playing around with my watercoloring and this is what I have created. I used the marvy markers.

Direct To Rubber Class

Sorry I have not blogged in a bit but just wasn't motivated. I am finally getting some motivation back.

I attend a Direct To Rubber (DTR) class at my local stamp store. It was very fun and very creative on all fronts. We used Marvy markers and then you just start to color you stamp that way you want and then you mist with water. Now something that I learned is use glossy paper and boy that makes all the difference. Now I still don't have the 3 colors of markers down. Just have not gotten a hang of the which way the light falls concept. Practice makes Practice. Anyways you can also some stipple brusheswith the markers and it gives you a different effect. It was fun but now I have to get some Marvey Markers well maybe or maybe not. Here are my creations:

Something New to try....

I finally finished my water color card. I used my markers and water to create this card.

My Dahila fold card. Just playing around.

I just purchased some new adhesive and that stuff really sticks. I am trying to find an adhesive that actual works for me. I use tombow now and it works on and on and my Xyron refills are so darn expensive so I wanted to find another option. We will see which I like. You would think all I am doing to sticking paper so then just get an adhesive but it is not that easy. LOL!!!. We have adhesive for everything . Amazing to me.

Stamp Club and Opinion

I just got my Stampin Up catalog and started my wish list. LOL!!! I had my Stamp Club this weekend and my two cards. They are very pretty and we used the apple stamp as a Shamrock. Clever!!!. I loved both stamp sets. Very nice.

I think I am just to much a closet perfection because I made the cards and they are nice but all I can do it see the flaws. I hate that. How they heck do you not do that. Some times I just won't stamp because I know there will be something wrong so what is the point of going thru all the effort when ....... I must really work on that.

Well I was working on this card and I just can't figure out what to do it. What do you think???

Another week and I am going to blog more frequently. Ok today I am going to try to blog at least 3 days. Maybe that will work. I think the fact that my room is messy and not organized it just has me discouraged instead of flipping the script and saying I have a room to card making and it is my responsibility to get it together. Something for me to ponder.

New Goodies

First I said I would post more frequently but I have not for a bit. I am trying to get better. I will keep trying.

Well I purchased some of the stamps of the months from Great Impressions. I just love the all the stamps.

Here are my creations.

I used my copic markers on the yellow card and the teddy bear.

I did the Magic Pencil technique on the purple card.
