Stampin with Anita: Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop February 2019

Monday, February 11, 2019

Welcome to the Training Blog Hop for February 2019! We are all Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world working with Kylie Bertucci and her husband, Bruno to help us realize our potential.

There is no theme for this hop, just to use current Stampin' Up! products. I created an ink-blended background for another stamp challenge and created this card:

I had a half sheet on Shimmery White paper left which I had used to ink blend all the colors of the Sunday Stamps Challenge #197.

I sprinkled the half sheet with water droplets, pressed them off with a blue shop towels and I saw "stars"! I wanted to enhance that look so I watered down some Frost Shimmer White Paint on an acrylic block and swiped off drops to the half sheet with a paint brush. I made 2 cards from the half sheet.

Next, I used the stamps from the "Little Twinkle" stamp set and using the Stamparatus stamped several layers of each with Memento black ink. The card with the "heart stars" was quickly sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set for some added dimension.

The final touch was to back Silver Glimmer paper with a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet. I punch out stars with the "Twinkle Builder Punch". One card was layered with Basic Black card stock and both cards were die cut with the largest "Rectangle Stitched Framelit".
