Two Tone Stamping

Love the cards featured in this video!

If you loved coloring as a kid....

Then this Close To My Heart stamp set is for you! I colored the scarecrow image with out watercolor pencils and the blending pen. Would have liked to use our new alcohol markers but I don't have all the colors yet. I think I'll try another one when I get more colors so I can compare. The alcohol markers give you richer, deeper colors.

Another Moonlight Layout

The Moonlight Complements are so darn cute that I did not want to let them just sit in the bag. You know what I mean. You make the layout shown in the book and then the leftovers sit there til you move them from the current stuff to the maybe-some-day section. So here is my second layout using Moonlight.

Clearly the Best: The Swipe Hype (S01E02)

Bend It, Curve It, Stamp It

Avonlea Sympathy Card

I made this card for a friend of mine who recently lost his mother. Although it has a flower on it I think the colors are masculine enough for a guy. The flower is a rolled fridge flower that I saw demoed on You Tube some time ago and I couldn't find the video again to reference it. I took a one inch strip of paper about 10 inches long, folded in half and glued the long edges together. Then fridged the fold edge and rolled up the strip and gently spread the petals out. Pretty simple.

Halloween Cards for September Card Class

We'll be making three cards using the Moonlight paper pack and C1522 Creepy Creatures stamp set. Love this paper and the stamps and I'm sure my friends will too. Contact me at scrappinwithphyllis.ctmh.com to order supplies to make your own.

September Stamp of the Month

The September Stamp of the Month is one of my favorites out of this Idea Book. Great artwork to color, either with our new alcohol ink markers or the watercolor pencils. Yay Fall!

Very cool way to separate yolk from egg white

Who would have ever thought to try this? Watch and learn.
