Cardstock - White, Handsome Hunter, Rose Red.

Craft - Sponge Wedges

Someone came up with this brilliant idea! I love it! Before this, I had sponges all over the place, not having any idea what color I had used them for. The Stampin' Sponges are just the right tool for sponging ink around the edges of your card stock.  Works perfect for me! 

Supplies:  Stamping Sponges, Round Tab Extra Large punch, Card stock, Scissors, Stapler.

There are three sponges in the bag of Stamping Sponges from SU!.

 

Cut each sponge in half. Cut each half into thirds. This means you can get up to 18 sponge wedges from only ONE PACKAGE of sponges.

 

To keep them organized, take the Stampin' Up Tab Punch and punch cardstock to match the color of each sponge.

 

Fold cardstock label in half and staple to the point of the wedge.

 

Write the color name on the cardstock. Now each sponge wedge will have its own designated color.

 

I store mine in one of these craft containers.  I need it to be just a bit bigger though.  I like the idea of it being see-thro. I will keep my eyes open for just the right container!

 

Dawn has a video HERE of how she made her Spongin' Wedges.

Craft - Unmounting Rubberstamps

I enjoyed this video by Cindy for unmounting rubberstamps.  Thought you might too.  Still think I need a piece of wood in my hands to convince myself that I am stamping!

SU193 Just For You

I wanted my Chef to have colored pants so I had to mask. I did this by first stamping him in Black on white cs. Then I stamped his lower parts on a post it note. From my experience with masking, you do have to cut the black lines off of the post it note to get your image to stamp close to your main image. I masked off his shoes too since I wanted to color them black. Place the mask on your image and overstamp. 

 Stamp Sets: Viola, Looks Like Spring, Oval All.

Cardstock: Black, Only Orange, White, Frosty Day/Ski Slope DPS (Holiday Mini 2009).

Ink: Black, Only Orange.

Accessories: Black marker, Only Orange marker, Post it Note, Scallop oval punch, sponge, mounts, ¼” hole punch, Crystal Effects for Faux Brads, Wide oval punch.

 

I stretched the Top Note Die by folding it in quarters, cut it apart, added some inches until I got this look
