Flirty Flamingo Part 2: Color Markers

Good afternoon!! This is a part 2 of the Flirty Flamingo technique. Follow along with the tutorial and post comments. Each comment gets you added into the raffle pool. At the end of the week, I'll pull out one name and the winner gets an ink pad for free!! 



This technique goes over how to get different colors on a single stamp! Wouldn't it be great if stampin up had stamps broken up how we'd like to use them. Like the pineapple in this stamp set is one stamp! So, if I used an ink pad, I'd get green or yellow! 

Well, there's an easier way! 

Step 1: Mount the stamp onto the block! Hardest part, I know! Sometimes those buggers don't want to stick. 

Step 2: Take your green markers and color in the top green! 


Step 3: Color in the bottom yellow! 


Step 4: Stamp away! 



This is the part 2 of the tutorial that makes the Flirty Flamingo Card. So, now you have the marbled paper, cut out some ovals, stamp your flamingo and put it all together!

Bugs and Kisses Birthday Party theme!

Today, I went to a fun birthday party of a 7 year old boy who loves bugs. He's a very sweet kid and I wanted to help make his birthday special. So, I made him bug themed party decor.  I made little favor bags using the Bag punch board filled them with plastic bugs ( yes, I'm not even coming close to touching a real one. I had my husband make sure there weren't even fake lizards in there). I also added hershey kisses in the bag mixed in. I made him a bug themed birthday banner and  a cake topper as well. This,by the way, is my favorite pic I've ever taken using my phone. I just love the blue of the door popping out.  Once the bag was punched out using bag punch, I used the Bugs and Beetles retired stampset, which I borrowed from my sweet upline, Holly Stene. (Holly, thanks a lot for letting me borrow this stampset). Then I used the different color combos to make the bugs pop right out of the bag.  There were some fun gummy worms and f

Organized Card Giver Goal

You are driving home from grocery store or work, you stop by the mailbox and open it. You try to pry every single piece of mail from in there. You quickly try to scan the mail you got…and it’s mostly bills, advertisements, random credit card approval applications. Because…that’s ever worked!! You sigh, because its normal, routine and boring!! Then you realize you see a teeny tiny envelope, with a handwritten label. Not the fake cursive kind that some organization uses to ask for money, but the real kind! You open it, and it’s a greeting card. Handwritten greeting card that says Happy Birthday or Just thinking of you, and it put a huge smile to your face. I love that feeling, and guess what? I want all my loved ones to feel that feeling. Even better, I want to be the one to put that smile on their faces. I never truly understood the importance of getting cards in the mail until my husband Ray went to the hospital. He had surgery and was in the hospital recovering for almost 2 m
