Black Ice Techique BSU112118

Hi Stampers!

I am finally caught up to this weeks challenge. Woot woot!

This week I the Black Ice Technique. If you’re in one of the many states that were hit with snow this past week, don’t worry. This has nothing to do with cold or snow. 

This technique requires stamping on one of our foil papers. I chose silver.  You want to carefully drag the edge of your  Staz-On stamp pad down in a straight line on the foil paper. 

Use your heat gun to dry the ink before going on to the next step.

Once the Staz-On ink is dry, drag your Versamark ink pad down in straight lines as well. Cover the inked foil with clear embossing powder. Heat set the embossing powder. The embossing will not be a smooth glaze with this technique.  The streaked embossing looks like ice. 

Let’s see what Terri and Carol are creating this week with this technique. Don’t forget to share your ideas with us on Facebook.

Until next time,

Happy Stampin’

Color Challenge BSU 111418

Hi Stampers!

Believe it or not, I’m getting caught up on my Broke Stampers Unite challenges. It’s amazing what a long weekend can do for your schedule.

We had to use Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and for a bonus Crushed Curry.

This may be my last attempt of convincing myself winter isn’t coming 😁. 

I used the large daisy from Daisy Delight. A great thing about photopolymer is you can see through them to line up your stamping.  Each flower on my card is actually the daisy stamped twice with Memento black ink.  The center is stamped with Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler. I used an aqua painter to paint the petals with Crumb Cake and highlights of Crushed Curry. The outlines of the leaves are Shaded Spruce full strength. The inside is Shaded Spruce stamped off once.  I had a retired embellishment to use up.

Join Terri, Carol and me for our regularly scheduled Broke Stampers Unite challenge.

Until then,

Happy Stampin’

Hi Stampers!

As I said I’m trying to get caught up on my Broke Stampers Unite challenges. The theme for this challenge was Thankful/Thanksgiving.  

We all know fall  means sweaters and Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING!! This was my inspiration for this card.  I used Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake card stock. I used the knit embossing folder. 

On the white coffee cup I stamped the small images from Lovely as a Tree to represent fall leaves.  Of course the verse says it all,  THANKS A LATTE.  I added some retired twine to add more of a sweater feeling. 

I cut my latte out with the Coffe Cup framelits. I raised the cup with dimensionals. 

I was very thankful to have my coffee while I stamped today.

Tomorrow I’ll catch you up with November’s color challenge.

Until then,

Happy Stampin’

Hi Stampers! 

I am getting caught up this week. Between two jobs and two classes,  I have fallen behind on my Broke Stampers Unite Challenges. I made my Halloween projects in time to mail to relatives that are in college. 

During my recent move and unpacking, I Found it clear acetate boxes that I had put away for something special, who knows what that something special with was???  

I had such fun creating these little Frankie monsters!  I went a little crazy.  So a few special friends ended up getting Halloween treats as well.

I am going to attempt some Santa or elf boxes for Christmas.

Come back tomorrow as I get caught up on Broke Stampers Unite challenges. 

Happy Stampin’
