Storybook Friends notecard

It has been a long and challenging few months that kept me from posting any of my cards.  But I am feeling better and am getting a better handle on my new computer.  Though I still am not skilled with the photo taking and editing, I want to get back to sharing with you some of the joy of stamping on a regular basis.

During my absence from blogging, I have really taken a liking to simple, quick and easy cards.  Stampin' Up! Note Cards  & Envelopes (131527) are ideal for this technique.   Such as in this card for today:

I love this little dog from the Storybook Friends set.  Stamped in black, and color-highlighted with ink color of your choosing and blender pens, you can whip out a whole set to have on hand for all sorts of occasions in a short amount of time.

Note Cards come 20 to a package, with 20 envelopes to boot.  Though somewhat smaller than an A2 card, they do not require additional postage, and are a real bargain at only  $5.95 a package.  I highly recommend them!

Thanks for spending part of your day with me.
Happy stampin'!

Customize Your Ribbon

Creating Custom Ribbon

Our 7/8" Cotton Ribbon is so versatile. You can use it straight out of the package, dye it by spritzing it with Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (US/CAN) and a Stampin’ Spritzer, or customize it with our Stampin’ Write Markers (US/CAN)—which is what I am going to show you today.



Since Stampin’ Write Markers come in our exclusive colors, you can customize your ribbon with whatever color you need to coordinate with your project. (The colors featured here are Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, and Bermuda Bay.)



Here are some fun and easy patterns that I came up with for my custom ribbon. I used the brush tip for all three designs. As you can see, the ribbon picked up the ink color really well. (If you look closely, you’ll see that my free-hand lines and polka dots aren’t perfect. And that’s okay—the imperfections give projects a handmade look and feel!)
So pull out your cotton ribbon and markers today and start designing your own custom ribbon!
