Thursday Tidbits

Posted in Recent projects at 4:37 am

It’s been quite a few days since I’ve posted and need to get you all caught up… First, I’ve been working on and have finished my submissions for PatStamp’s Technique Junkies Newsletter. This is truly one of my favorite and most time consuming stamping activities - there are several reasons. First, the techniques are always stunning and I have to try each one - besides completing the assigned techniques with samples. The next newsletter comes out in October and this will be in celebration of the TJ’s 5th Anniversary Celebration. That kind of celebration deserves my best work… Make sure you take a look cause I know that Pat has a couple of guest designers for this issue not to mention fabulous techniques.

I’m also having a great deal of fun providing stamped challenges and samples for Linnecards. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to take the challenge from the other designers and run with them. Maybe I’ll have a chance in the next few weeks. In the meantime here are a couple of samples for Linnecards this past week. As many of you may know, I am a defender of White Stazon. It has many wonderful uses and applications - it does not behave (ink wise) like pigment or chalk inks. I think that many users of White Stazon expect the results to be like pigment or chalk inks especially when used on cardstock- sorry ladies and gentlemen, the results on cardstock will not be like those inks. The results, however, are AWESOME when used on non-porous surfaces like glass, photos, plastic, transparencies, etc. So here are a few of my samples using White Stazon on surfaces other than cardstock.

The above sample uses Fancy Pants stamped with Black Stazon. The Heidi Swapp ghost flowers (which are made from plastic) are stamped with Stampin Up script using WHITE STAZON. It dries immediately and permanently. The flowers were then attached with rhinestone brads from Stampin Up. Pretty simple, but I really like the look.

This sample above uses a cellophane bag to hold doggie treats. The cellophane bag was stamped using Stampin Up’s Plaid background, again using WHITE STAZON. The topper was made with Cosmo Cricket patter paper from Little Boys Biography Collection. The dog bone and sentiment are from Sassafras “Woof! Woof!” stamp set - cute huh?

The above sample may have been seen by some of you before. It’s an old standby for upcoming Gobblins. The stamps are from Stampin Up and again, the web is stamped onto a cello bag using WHITE STAZON. The rest is pretty straight forward.

For more samples using white stazon visit Linnecards‘ gallery.

Long post, I know, but I’m playing catch-up too! I’ve been invited to join the Blogger’s Challenge - what a great group of women. Many of these ladies I’ve already become long-distance friends with and there are several who I’ve yet to really meet (at least through the cyber friendship link). I can’t wait to meet them and rekindle friendships. Stay tuned, the challenge primarily for me will be to update my blog every Friday…..to check out the other bloggers see the heading and links on the right sidebar? So with that being said…. I’ll see you here again tomorrow. Enjoy, Lila
