Thanks to everyone who took time to leave a comment on my blog post last week.  I posted a tutorial about all of the different things you can find on my blog and asked people to comment about something new that they had learned.  By leaving a comment each person was entered in a drawing for a FREE GIFT.

There is a wealth of information on my blog and I wanted to be sure that you could get the most out of the resources I offer.  If you didn’t see the original post “Get the Most Out of My Blog”, you can  see it here.

Julie C. is the lucky winner of a package of Basic Rhinestone Jewels.  Congratulations!  I’ll get them out in the mail to you.  Julie commented “Wow! I didn’t realize I could search your blog for cards you’ve created using various card sets! I’ll definitely need to check it out!”  

I hope you take a quick look at my post, “Get the Most Out of My Blog”.   You might learn something that will be of value to you!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

Forever Fern with Acrylic Block Background

The Forever Greenery Suite of Products has been getting a workout in my stamping studio.  I love everything about it!  The sentiment on this card comes from another new stamp set, Lovely You.

Create a unique background using an acrylic block – directions below.

Stampin-up-Forever-Fern-stamp-set-Lovely-You-stamp-set-Debra-Simonis-Stampinup

Stamp Set – Forever Fern, Lovely You
Ink – Shaded Spruce, Pretty Peacock, Early Expresso
Cardstock – Pretty Peacock, Whisper White
Accessories – Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Pear Pizzaz & Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Spritzer, Acrylic Block, Snail Adhesive

Stamping Tips: 
  • Color on an Acrylic Block using Stampin’ Write Markers – I started at the top with the lightest color and worked my way down Clear Block “D” with the darkest at the bottom.  Use side of brush end on the marker or you will ruin the tip.
  • Lightly spritz the block with water using the Stampin’ Spritz
  • Tip the block slightly so some of the water drops run together
  • Stamp the block on your cardstock, holding block in place for a few seconds (I like to have a cushion under the cardstock – Stampin’ Pierce Mat, Annual Catalog, etc.)
  • Let cardstock dry before stamping images on top of the background (speed up drying time using the Heat Tool)
