Watermark Technique For You Card


I have been busy stamping as I need to plan for my upcoming club this weekend.  We will be doing the "Watermark" Technique.  This is a really easy technique with not a lot of fuss.  The kind of technique that I like!  I could see myself using this technique whenever I am stumped on what to put on the card.  A simple faded pattern with vibarant color....WOWSA! I hope my club ladies like it.  I also like this card layout too.  It is clean, simple and doesn't use alot of supplies.  Give it a try!

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:
Stamp Set: Elements of Style
Paper: Calypso Coral card stock, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin' Pad, Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Pad, Primrose Ripple Classic Stampin' Pad

Whoo Whoo For You Card

This card is made up from new products that are in the Holiday Mini catalogue.  The Early Espresso card stock is really neat as it has two tones to it.  It is called Core'dinations Card Stock (found on page 6 in the Holiday Mini Catalogue).  To get the lighter color first I embossed the card stock by embossing it with the Big Shot Die Cut Machine and the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Then I took a sanding block and sanded it until it was the result that I wanted.  Too cute!  For more information on this Core'dinations card stock please look at page 6 in the Holiday Mini Catalogue.  There are even other colors too!  The leaves at the top of the tree were made by using the new Autumn Accents Bigz Die (found on page 33 in the Holiday Mini Catalogue).  Fall is probably my most fav time of the year and I can't wait to make some projects featuring the new fall products in the Holiday Mini.  The owl is so easy to make with Stampin' Up!'s Owl Builder punch, everything that you need is all right there on this amazing punch.
