Stampin' Up! Black Ice

 Black Ice Hot New Technique

If you are on Pinterest or YouTube you have probably already heard about the hottest new stamping technique. BLACK ICE!  It is all the rage. Most Stampers are crediting Melissa Kerman of Melissa Crafting Treehouse as the creator. And that's how I found out about it. 

I created multiple panels with this technique because I was having so much fun

 I try color some of the images with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Ink markers

and then I started making the panels into cards.

 I combined two of the ribbons from the Shimmer Ribbon pack that is only available during Sale-A-Bration 2018

 I really enjoyed playing with this new technique. It was a lot of fun

I used silver foil paper but you could also use copper or gold for a different look.

If you would like to try it there is a complete list of products below. Some of them are only available for a few more days because they are Sale-A-Bration 2018 exclusives and Sale-A-Bration 2018 ends March 31, 2018

Happy Stampin'

Stampin' Up! This Little Piggy

Lunch Box Love Notes

Put a little Love in their Life

It's amazing what you can create from your scrap box. When I am working on a project and score something incorrectly I always put the cardstock in my scrap box. This week I pulled out several pieces of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock while I was looking for something else. As soon as I saw them I  had several ideas pop into my head

My first thought was to make a peek a boo piece for a full sized card but my daughter suggest a small card that fit into the smal 3 by 3 envelopes. I loved the first card so much that I made another one with a just a few changes. These little card make great lunch box notes for a child or adult. Just write a quick message inside and stick it in their lunch.

 These little piggies are adorable. They always bring a small to my face.

I created this card first and I love the window frame but if you color with Stampin' Blends you will need to add a piece of cardstock or DSP to the backside because the blends bleed through and will show on the inside.

I left one spot bare so I can add a little note.

This Piggy does make me happy and she deserves so bright sunny colors!

This card opens from the top and also has a bare spot for the note.

These little cards are designed to fit in our 3 by 3-inch envelopes.

Measurements

Cardstock base 9" x 3". Scored at 3" and 6"

Cardstock for panels are 2 3/4 " by 2 3/4 "

Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper and Epic Celebrations Stamp set are only available during Sale-A-Bration 2018 which ends on March 31, 2018. And they are only available as a FREE with purchase gift .
