Festival of the Trees

Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation Festival of the Trees was last weekend, December 1st & 2nd.  The SALSA gals donated a decorated tree for the fundraiser.  All our tree decorations were hand made using Stampin' Up! materials.  We had a great time!  Here are a few pictures of the tree and ornaments.  The tree skirt is quilted and uses SU!'s fabric. We were asked to donate a tree next year!  WooHoo!  It is awesome to be able to contribute to such a great cause.  Thanks for looking!

DIY: Glittered Napkin Technique

Glittered Napkin Technique:

There are several "napkin techniques" out on the web -- I thought I would show you how to do the napkin technique the Stampin’ Up! way! The idea was demonstrated at the Denver Regional in October.  I hope you like it! Kathy

Items you will need:
A cute, store bought paper napkin
Stampin' Up!'s Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, item #120805 $14.95 for a set of 12 sheets.  Each sheet is a 12 x 12.
Vanilla or White c/s
Versamark ink
Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and heat tool 

General Directions for applying the napkin to the cardstock piece: Choose a napkin with a great design that you like. Cut it ½” larger than the size you want it to end up. Take the white backing layer off of your napkin so that you will use only the napkin part that has the image.

Cut a piece of Vanilla or White c/s to the size you want.  Cut the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet the same size as your piece of cardstock.  Peel one side of the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet backing off and place it on your cardstock.  Peel the backing off of the other side of the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and add to your napkin to this side. You will have extra napkin hanging off of your c/s, so trim the sides flush with the cardstock. This is the first step to a beautiful card! 

Stamp Versamark ink all over the front of the napkin and add Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and tap off. Heat set until done. You have your glittered napkin image! I hope you have said "WOW!!"

Decorate your card as you want and you are done. You can also use this technique with designer paper. Here is a card using this technique!  I hope you like it.  Kathy

 

 

 

Salsa Stampers! DIY Time -- Autumn Cards and a Blender Pen Recipe: Tweet Leaves and Gently Falling

Note:  All page numbers refer to the 2012-2013 Idea Book and Catalog unless otherwise indicated.

This technique is great to use with the Naturals White or Ivory c/s (pg. 160) as it has a heavier weight and will take the water color spritzing well.   

Tweet Leaves Card:

Ingredients: 

Stamps:  Tweet Leaves pg. 31 in Holiday catalog, Lacy and Lovely, pg. 99

Ink:  Early Espresso

C/S:  Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive

Extras:  Woodgrain embossing folder, pg. 33 in Holiday catalog, Autumn Accents die, pg. 33 in Holiday catalog, Oval punch, pg. 184, Circles #2 die, pg. 193,  1 ¾” circle punch, pg. 184

Directions:

·         Fold Daffodil Delight card base and set to one side.  Emboss Soft Suede c/s using the Woodgrain Embossing folder.  Sponge with Crumb Cake ink and layer onto the Daffodil Delight base. 

·         Stamp Tweet Leaves stamp onto already cut out leaf using Early Espresso ink.  Allow to dry and color in.  Stamp another image onto the Very Vanilla c/s and punch out the bird using the 1 ¾” circle punch.  Color in the bird and layer onto the larger Daffodil Delight circle.  Layer onto the leaf using dimensionals. 

·         Take the Crumb Cake piece to the Big Shot and die cut the oak leaf.  I’ve done the rest of the leaves for you.

·         Take each leaf and crunch up, then lightly sponge over the crunched areas with Crumb Cake ink. 

·         Attach leaves to the card using adhesive.  Attach the Tweet Bird image using dimensionals.

·         Stamp and punch out sentiment using Oval Punch.  Add to your card using dimensionals and you are done!

Gently Falling Cards:

Ingredients: 

Stamps:  Gently Falling, pg. 86,  Blooming with Kindness, pg. 87,

Ink:  Chocolate Chip

Markers:  Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red, Wild Wasabi

Extras: Naturals Designer Button pg. 176, linen thread ,pg. 173, Stamp-a-ma-jig, pg.7, Color Spritzer Tool,  pg.179, Stampin' Spritzer, pg. 179

Directions:

·         Apply markers on the solid leaf image using 3-4 markers in various shades of autumn colors. Spritz just a little with a fine mist of water.  Stamp onto the surface of your paper and allow to dry.  Do this technique again and stamp another leaf onto your card with the stems crossing. 

·         Using Stamp-a-ma-jig, stamp line design over the previous image using Chocolate Chip ink.

·         Spritz with Chocolate Chip and Riding Hood Red markers and Color Spritzer Tool

·         Stamp sentiment on the front and inside.
