Julie Nutting

Julie Nutting was the guest teacher at Everything Scrapbook & Stamps this weekend.  I think this is her 3rd visit.  Julie has a lovely line of doll stamps and beautiful scrapbook papers.  I so very cleverly forgot to take photos from the class.  This is my norm, sigh.  I have great intentions but always get busy and forget the photos.

I will have to make sure to take photos of her projects when I am back at the store tomorrow

Cards using paint and reinkers

I like to make cards that have interesting backgrounds.  Here are two cards that I made recently using Paint and Archival Ink reinkers.

First the card made with Adirondack Paint Dabbers

I placed Sunset Orange and Sunshine Yellow paint onto my craft mat and spritzed with water.  I dragged my cardstock through the paint mixture.  I then spritzed the card with more water allowing the paint colors to mix.  I dried the paint and then repeated the steps till I was happy with the look.  The paint “glows” on the background and looks really rich and saturated with color.

I stamped using Dylusions Love Struck Lucy stamps and Black Archival Ink on the card.  I used a Black Pitt Pen to connect the hearts and circles . . . .and then I used Glossy Accents to highlight the stamped images.

Here is another view.  The paint looks washed out in this view but I wanted to show a close up of the texture.

The randomness of what you get makes this card fun to make and would make a perfect masculine card

The card front was popped up on top of a coordinations cardstock that had been embossed using an embossing folder and then sanded to reveal the kraft core.
