Northern Lights Technique

This really is a fun, easy technique. All you need is some ink pads Whisper White cardstock, a sponge wedge, and a white gel pen. Just so you know, I've never actually seen the northern lights. I just looked at pictures and used some imagination. In a lot of pictures I've seen the lights appear to be vertical swooshes in the sky.

The first one I made was done like this and I used Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss, and Night of Navy ink pads. You ink up your sponge and begin off the page, then move onto the paper. Use the lightest color first, then progress to the darkest color. I used a circle punch to make a mask from a piece of sticky note paper. I simply placed it on my paper before I began sponging on color. When finished and the mask is removed, you have a lovely bright moon. Stampin' Up! sponges come in a package of three for $4.00. I cut them each into 6 pie shaped wedges.


On the card below, I used Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, and Night of Navy ink pads with Balmy Blue cardstock.

This card is my favorite! I used Pacific Point, Smoky Slate and Night of Navy inkpads with Rich Razzleberry cardstock. The mountains in the back are diecut from Basic Black cardstock, and those in the foreground were stamped in Versamark on Shimmery White cardstock and embossed in white. Then I used an Aqua Painter to add color.

Positive Thoughts

I don't do plain and simple cards very often, so here is one! This stamp set is from the new Mini catalog and one of my favorites! I simply adore the sentiments, and I know that I'll use them often. The coordinating dies are from the Coordination Product Release that just began this week. The dies cut out the stamped images and... there are other goodies too! I just love the extra leaves and edgings. In fact, I used this on a piece that I made to frame and put in my bathroom! Oh and what got me started on thinking of stamped art to hang was the new shower curtain I just bought. I kept thinking the flowers sure did look familar. Well, they were familar because those flowers are in one of our stamp sets! Beautiful Friendship. How cool is that? I got out my color swatches and used them to create the first picture. I used Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Pear Pizzazz, Call Me Clover, Rich Razzleberry, Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posey. My husband was impressed, so I made another with Positive Thoughts too.

Pop and Twist Poppies

This pop and twist card is for my niece. I also left the flaps on these envelopes and used tiny little magnets to keep them closed. I wanted to cover the magnet, so I cut a litle flower out of the DSP and attached it with a glue dot. So far I have stamped messages and a pressed leaf, but I'm going to put some more things in the envelopes, like a Starbucks gift card. Directions Click here
