I Couldn't Resist!

Good Friday Morning to all of you! This week's Blogger's Challenge is to use a favorite resist technique. I have to admit that I don't really know too many techniques when it comes to stamping, let alone resist techniques, but that's why it's called a challenge...right? Then I remembered my Stampin' Up demonstrator showing me how to do the Crayon Resist Technique a while back. Thanks a bunch Clara! You can find step by step directions for this technique over on Splitcoaststampers. Just click here.

My card (just click on it for a closer look at this technique) uses a few of my favorite retired Stampin' Up products...the Delight in Life stamp set, one of the sentiments from the Living Large stamp set, and my most favorite card stock color...Cool Caribbean. The other accents include a black layer embossed with my Swiss Dots folder in my 'bug, a few Kaiser Craft self-adhesive Pearls, and a bit of Swirl ribbon and Polka Dot ribbon from May Arts.

I'm certain that there are a few other Resist Techniques out there in the stamping world, so I'm off to check out what the other members of the group came up with. Just click on the Blogger's Challenge logo in my sidebar to visit their blogs too.

Today is also Kendra Gile's turn to share a Storage Units, Ink & More Sneak Peek. Hop by her blog, Inkin' It Up! to see her adorable creation and a chance to win the Leap Frog set! Thanks so much for stopping by today...Toodles!!! :D

Stamping Simply


I probably should have titled this entry "Card Making Simply" because the only thing stamped on this card is the sentiment (Stampin' Up's Sincere Salutations). Sharon Johnson's blog No Time to Stamp? is just filled with wonderful ideas for Cuttlebug embossing folders. Actually, it is filled with all types of fabulous ideas for card makers. She is always sharing something wonderful with us! A family friend's daughter was married this past weekend. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend, but I still wanted to send her a little something. Her wedding party was dressed in a beautiful shade of light pink. In fact, part of her wedding dress was pink as well. So, I started with a sheet of Core'dinations cardstock in Amaryllis. I was anxious to see how it would look embossed with my 'bug embossing folder Birds and Swirls. I'm thrilled with the results! The impressions are nice and deep and crisp. I only embossed about two-thirds of the Amaryllis layer and then I used my scoring blade for the horizontal lines (I so NEED to buy a Scor-Pal...lol!). I then stamped the sentiment and added some black organdy ribbon. The card didn't look "balanced" to me, so I added the three black brads to finish it off. I then attached that layer to a black card base and...here is my quick and simple card! Thanks for the inspiration Sharon!

Happy Wednesday everyone! So glad that you could stop by today...Toodles! :D
