Watercolor Crayons & Pencils Being Discontinued- Get FREE Shipping April6-8th

 One of my favorite techniques is water coloring! I love having so many different w/c mediums to choose from when water coloring. If you have not purchased the pencils or crayons yet....here is your chance to get them before they are all gone and pay NO SHIPPING!
Due to unforeseen problems with our supplier for Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils, we have decided to discontinue these two products.
Watercolor Pencils (item 101879) and Watercolor Wonder Crayons Brights Collection (item 119804) are no longer available.
Now for the good news! We still have the remaining collections of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons available to order. The Subtles (item 119802), Neutrals (item 119805), and Regals (item 119803) Collections are only available while supplies last. Get ‘em before they’re gone!

A simple card with a lot of WOW power!

Water coloring is very relaxing and a perfect project for beginner's as well as seasoned stampers. I have found it is always a hit. In this project I used a combination of water color crayons and pencils to color my flowers and using Stampin' Up!'s blender pens just gives it that perfect blend and a dab of dazzling details to add some bling!

Stampin' Up! Valentine

Happy Valentines Day!

I wanted to share the Valentine I made for my sweetie!

It was so much fun! 

 This is a four heart fold card- I got the directions from Debbie Henderson who so generously shared her version and then this is what I came up with. I am so proud of myself that I was able to keep it from him without showing it to him before Valentines Day!

 I used SU First Edition& Candlelight DSP with Basic Black, Silver Glitter paper, Real REd

Check out the small soda pop tops in the middle of the floating heart. I smashed those and ran them thru the Big Shot. Also used the All a Flutter stamp set and Framelits, with the Heart framelits.

Have I mentioned how much I love the ticket punch now? Also, I used the stamp set Be My Valentine that came in the Valentine kits for the smaller sentiments.

Here are the directions for this cool card!

It's not just for Valentines- check back  for other cool samples I made using the 

By The Tide set and The Oh Whale set.

To create this card, all you need are 4 card stock panels measuring 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I adhered a piece of DSP to each panel with a different pattern on each measuring 5 3/8 x4". I then scored each panel in the center at 2 1/8" on the 4 1/4" side. Before I folded on each score, I used my "Hearts Collection Framelits" to cut a heart in the center of each panel. In order to make sure all the hearts line up exactly on each panel, I measured an equal distance from the bottom of each panel and marked it with my pencil. I marked mine at 1 ¼ from the bottom on the score line and made sure that the points of the bottom of the heart line up on that point at the bottom and the center point of the heart line up on the score line up top. I made a template and then used that on the remaining 3 panels to mark my point so they would all line up. Tip: Use sticky strip to adhere your panels together.
Once all of your hearts are cut out, fold all 4 panels in half with your "Bone Folder". Adhere the half panels to each other until you get to the last one. Before you adhere the last 2 panels together, insert a piece of ribbon or baker's twine so that it will hang in the center of your card and glue in place. Finally, adhere your last 2 panels together.

If you want to create a floating heart in the center glued to the baker's twine like I did on mine, cut 4 hearts, fold in half and adhere the halves together like you did the card panels.

Embellish as you like. Enjoy.
