Awesomness

Have you ever bought a stamp set because of one saying in it? The Truth now! Although, I like all of the sayings in the set I used today, one stands out:

It just seems like something I would say to a student! 

Stamps: Big News

Paper: Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black

Ink: White Craft Ink

Accessories: Hexagon Punch, Candy Dots, White Embossing Powder, Blendabilities Markers

I struggled with designing this card. I knew that I wanted the saying colored with Blendabilites, but how to get it on the card was a challenge. At one point, I had just the rectangle of Basic Black with the embossed image on my desk and I realized that I didn't need to put it on top of something, but along side something. Did you know you can color on Embossed Areas with the Blendabilities because they are alcohol inks? You can!

I love the way the Designer Series Paper is so colorful and fun. I made my own chevrons as I don't own the Chevron Punch (yet). Instead, I used the Hexagon Punch. Here's how:

Step 1: Punch one hexagon.

Step 2: Put the paper back in and punch again, lining it up like this:

Step 3: Repeat as necessary for how much paper you have or how many you need! In the end, it can look like this:

Happy Stamping!~
