I painted a random design on my watercolor paper with just clear water then added some color with my paintbrush and reinkers. I then spattered some ink over the watercolored bg to have some darker spots. I painted on a scrap piece of watercolor paper with my paintbrush and reinkers and then die cut and stamped my butterflies. After adhering the butterflies to the card I accented their bodies with black pearls and added iridescent sequins. </div>

I used a paintbrush wet with water to "paint" a rectangle onto watercolor paper. While the paper was wet I painted my background with blue and purple reindeers. Once the bg was dry, I stamped my <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/precious-poppies-clear-stamp-set/">poppies </a>with black ink. I then finished off the card by adding sequin accents and my sentiment.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I colored the image from the <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/hole-in-one-clear-stamp-set/">Hole in One</a> set with copics and used some crystal effects on the golf ball. I layered some <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/fence-grass-die-set/?page_context=search&faceted_search=0">grass die-cuts</a> on top. I then embossed the front panel to resemble a golf ball and die cut a circle out of the center to frame my image. I chose to recess the image rather than to adhere it on the top to give a little bit of dimension to the card.</span><br />

Start out by adding color directly to the block either by pressing an ink pad onto it or by coloring on it with your markers. I am showing both ways below.</div>

Next, spritz water onto your inked block. How much will depend on the type of paper you use. For the ink pads I used watercolor paper and on my marker example I used Stampin UP whisper white. I generally spray it 3-4 times. Below is how the block looked after I sprayed it with water. See how the ink beads up.</div>

This is a very easy technique to do and your results will vary each time you do it depending on the colors and paper you use. You can combine using markers and ink pads which is what I did on my example below.</div>

This week's featured set is a great set called<b> <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/birthday-word-art-clear-stamp-set/">Birthday Word Art</a></b>. It is a wonderful set to have to create birthday cards for everyone on your list.
Two of my daughters had multiple birthday parties last weekend to attend so I used our featured set to create cards for them to give to their friends. Here are 2 of the cards I created.

This first card is actually a gift card holder. I created the cupcake template myself by drawing the cupcake and then tracing the outline on a 4.25 X 4 inch folded card. The ivory strip along the bottom of the inside of the card was adhered only on the bottom and sides leaving the top open so that the gift card could be placed inside. </div>

The second card was created for a 12 year old boy. That is a tough one for me. It could not be too busy and I was not allowed to add any bling- gasp! I spattered red ink on my bg panel and then stamped my sentiment in black. I added a black strip of paper on the bottom to draw attention to the sentiment and added stars using the <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/youre-a-star-clear-stamp-set/"><b>You're a Star</b></a> stamp set and coordinating <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/products/Stars-Die-Set.html">Star Dies </a>as accents.</div>

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I hope that you are enjoying your day and that you are being spoiled by your family. I can tell you that we are being spoiled by the beautiful weather we are having in Buffalo this weekend. This is probably the nicest mother's day weekend that I can remember. <br />
<br />
So after all the April showers we all know comes May flowers. I think my favorite stamps at Sweet N Sassy stamps are the floral silhouettes and we certainly have some great ones to choose from. I choose to make a Mother's Day card using the Wildflowers set. Take a look.<br />
<br />

I colored the stamp with dye based markers and spritzed it water a couple times before stamping on 90lb. watercolor paper. You can use regular cardstock which I tried also but I liked how the watercolor paper looked better. I accented the flower centers with stickles and finished off my card by adding rhinestones and taffeta ribbon. The sentiment is from Precious Poppies which I believe is out of stock right now but if it wasn't for my mom I would have used one of the sentiments from the Wildflowers set anyway.</div>

I hope that you are enjoying warmer weather in your neck of the woods. I think that spring has finally arrived in Buffalo where I live and I am so thankful! Anyway, I have a card to share with you using Sweet N Sassy Stamps <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/parisian-postcard-clear-stamp-set/">Parisian Postcard </a>today. <br />

I showed the ladies at a card class I taught a couple months ago how to create a collage type look and about 2nd generation stamping. This is the card that they made. The main image was stamped with black versa fine ink (which I really like for intricate images and silhouettes) and then the smaller images around the panel were stamped on scratch paper first with gray versa fine and then stamped on my image panel (second generation stamping technique). The papers are from My Minds Eye and the edges were distressed a bit with scissors.</div>

On Friday, Sweet N Sassy Stamps released some fabulous new stamp sets and dies. I unfortunately was not able to share any samples yet using the new stamps because we had water damage due to an ice dam resulting from the harsh winter we have had. The floor in my office/craft room now needs to be replaced so it might be a little bit before I can do much crafting. If you have not had a chance to check out the new release, be sure to go and take a look:<br />
<br />

<br />
However, before you you go I do have some cards to share with you. I taught a couple card classes last month and I was finally able to take some pictures so I will have some creations to post on my blog over the next couple weeks until I can get back in my craft room.<br />
<br />
I taught the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/embossing_resist/">emboss resist technique</a> to the ladies who attended my class. It is not a difficult technique but gives a soft pretty look. Here are the 2 cards that we made using my favorite <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/long-stem-silhouettes-clear-stamp-set/">Long Stem Silhouettes</a> set along with <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/keep-in-touch-too-clear-stamp-set/">Keep In Touch Too</a>.<br />

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a tutorial with you using a technique that I demonstrated at a stamping convention in Syracuse a couple years ago. It is easy to do and gives you beautiful results. You will need large post it notes, various dye based inks, sponges or daubers, and stamps of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I masked off about a 2 inch section using post it notes. I used grid paper to help make sure I lined it up straight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then sponged ink in Memento tangelo, dandelion, summer sky, and danube blue. I chose these colors because they resemble a sunrise to me. You can choose whatever colors you like and I have a a few other examples of other combos below.</div>

To achieve a softer watercolor type appearance I then spritzed water over the paper. Because I used a dye based ink the ink was removed from the water.</div>

I hope that you are doing well despite the colder temps and rough weather conditions that much of the US is having. Well a new baby is sure to warm anyone's heart and add a bit of cheer. I am sharing a card with you today that I created for a good friend's daughter who had a baby a few weeks ago. This amazing woman did not even make it to the hospital before giving birth and her husband had to deliver the baby at home before 911 arrived. The even more unusual thing about this home birth is that it is the second time that it happened to the couple! Anyway, here is the card that I made to celebrate the arrival of sweet baby Nathan.<br />

I stamped the adorable teddy bear image from the <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/valentine-critters-clear-stamp-set/">Valentine Critters</a> set onto some patterned paper that I have had in my stash forever and colored parts of the image with my copic markers. I added a decorative border from the <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/bookmarks-more-dies/">bookmark die set</a> and stitched the edges before adding my sentiment from the recently released <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/keep-in-touch-too-clear-stamp-set/">Keep in Touch Too</a> set. That set is a great one to own because it covers so many different occasions and I just love the fonts in it also! My layout is from the SCS sketch challenge this week.<br />

I created a background by masking off the bottom section of my paper and stamping the flower image repeatedly. I then stamped the butterfly, cut it out and adhered it with foam tape onto my circle which I had sponged while in the circle die. I added some ribbon where the stamping ended, sewed the edges, stamped the sentiment, and added rhinestones to the butterfly and corners to finish off my card.</div>

Hi everyone! I have a couple cards to share with you that I made as samples for a stamp store in my area. I used Inspirational Word Art and Nature Silhouettes 2. I love the fonts and encouraging sentiments and I think the beautiful nature stamps compliment them well. I used papers from My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart collection. I hope that you like them.</div>

I am not a fan of snow at all which is rather ironic since I live in Buffalo, NY. However, I really love snowman. <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/">Sweet N Sassy Stamps</a> has quite few adorable snowmen stamps in the store and I am sharing a couple cards with you using some of my favorites- <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/products/Warm-Hello-Clear-Stamp-Set.html">Warm Hello</a> and <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/snowy-hello-clear-stamp-set/">Snowy Hello</a>.<br />

Janette here today to share a couple Christmas cards that I made. I used the Mod Ornament stamp set and matching dies to create some festive Christmas cards. The first card is my sample for the sketch challenge on Splitcoast this past week.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used coastal cabana and real red inks from Stampin Up as is the patterned paper. <br />
<br />
On the second card I embossed the ornament with silver ep and used patterned papers from Kaisercraft<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a large post it note and cut a hill to mask off the bottom to create the sky as well as a punched circle for the moon. I sponged memento inks in summer sky, danube blue, paris dusk, and grape jelly for the night sky. I then used london fog and the same mask to sponge some hills and then added wink of Stella which is not showing in the photo.</span><br />

I stamped the leaves in SU inks- really rust, garden green, saffron, and ruby red and then they were cut out and adhered down the side of my kraft card base. I stamped the sentiment in crumb cake using the <a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/seasonal-wreaths-clear-stamp-set/">Seasonal Wreaths</a> set onto a banner and curved it up in the center. I finished it off by adding a button and a twine bow. </div>

Today, I decided to create a CAS card using the very versatile<a href="http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/holiday-baubles-clear-stamp-set/"> <b>Holiday Baubles </b></a>set. </div>

I chose 3 of the ornaments from the set. I scored 3 lines to "hang" my ornaments from at different lengths. I embossed the ornaments with silver detail embossing powder and added some rhinestones at the top of each. I used silver mirror paper to matte the images. I finished the card by embossing the sentiment and framing it with tiny rhinestones. This would be a simple (yet elegant) card to reproduce. </div>

Today I would like to share a stationery gift set that I made for a friend of mine for her birthday. She loves the color combo of blue and brown so that is how I chose the colors. The set includes a legal pad holder and 4 cards. <br />

The legal pad holder measures 5.25" X 8.5". Inside I have included 2 pockets- one for the note pad and another for putting various items in. For mine I will include the envelopes for the cards which I should have shown in the picture. <br />
<br />
To create this project:<br />
1. For the cover use a 8.5"X11" sheet of card stock and score at 5.25" and 5.75", fold along the score lines.<br />
<br />
2. Decorate the front cover. Here I created my own patterned paper using my stamps (which I will indicate the sets I used below). The measurements are white paper- 5.25"x 5" and 5.25"x 2.5" and colored strip 5.25" x 3" tearing on both sides. <br />
<br />
3. Create pockets. Take one or two sheets of card stock measuring 4.75"x 6.5" (depending on how many pockets you want) and score at 1/2", 3/4", 5.75", and 6". Then turn paper 90 degrees and score at 1/2" and 3/4". This will create a 1/4" deep pocket. Cut the 2 bottom corners (squares) out along the score lines. Then fold along the score lines and secure with strong adhesive. I used glue dots.<br />
<br />
4. Attach pockets to the inside using strong adhesive and decorate the inside how ever you like. I just used various scraps I had left and attached to the pad and pockets and stamped a scripture verse. <br />
<br />
Here are the coordinating cards:<br />
