Call Me

Its still March Madness at Dreamweaver Stencils and you can get in on our challenge for the next two weeks still!  Make it over the top, beyond the page or anything wild and fun!

Today I have a double glitter card technique for you...seems to be my favorite technique, right?  Its not really a hard technique but this stencil was a bit of a challenge!

The Telephone Stencil was pretty straightforward, just turquoise glitter then add the Clear after removing the stencil.  But the Pop Rectangles Stencil took me a bit of time, adding one color at a time to small sections then brushing that color off and moving to another section.  But the effect is so fun and well worth the time!  All Glitters are from Art Glitter.

Be sure to check the Dreamweaver Blog for links to more creations from the team!

March {Fishy} Madness

Its time for the March Madness challenge at Dreamweaver Stencils and that means anything goes!  But its also the more out of the box or just more is more!  For today I have a summery card for you, cause I'm itching to be rid of the snowy weather!

I used the Letterpress technique for the background using the Large Scales stencil, Blue Martini Memory Mist , and my cuttlebug.  Papers are from Graphic 45.

My Open Fish was stenciled with versamark ink and then I added Metallic f/x  mica powders.  I then cut this out and adhered it to my tag on the card base.

Have a fabulous day and thanks for topping in!

Dreamweaver Stencils Challenge

You still have 2 more weeks to play along with the DWS challenge this month...February Flutters!  A quick post from me...moving day was 2 days ago and I still can't find anything!

Today I'm sharing a card that I created with the new Zen Flower stencil.  I used the double glitter technique and Tim Holtz's dry stickles glitters.  Fast and easy card because thats how I wish my life were this week...easy...

February Flutters

Are you ready for a new challenge from Dreamweaver Stencils for this month?  How about February Flutters...its open wide to interpretation, anything that flutters: a heart, wings, something in the wind...

Head to the Dream It Up bog for all the details on entering and a chance to win!

My card this week is one that I never posted from the last release for some reason, LOL.  It uses one of the new fabulous dies that coordinate perfectly with the stencils!  I used the Apron die all on its own for this card, cutting it 4 times with 4 coordinating pattern papers.  All the edges were distressed with Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap distress ink (Ranger).  I then carefully pieced it back together.

So why an apron?  Well the strings flutter of course!

Now head over to see what my teammates have created for you:

Dreamweaver Stencils CAS Challenge

Happy Thursday! I am back from an incredible week at CHA...lots of fun new products, loads of networking, and tons of hugs!  I helped out a bit at the DWS booth and we went out for a couple of dinners as well.  I have some shots of the booth on my FB page.

This month, if you recall, the challenge at Dreamweaver Stencils  is "Loose some weight, AKA Clean and Simple cards.  So today I am sharing one of the cards that I sent in for the booth using the Letterpress technique and one of the newest stencils released this week.

I sprayed the Pop Rectangles stencil with Blue Martini Memories Mist and then ran that through my Cuttlebug.  The result is a fun and easy letterpress background, the embossed areas remain white and the background areas pick up the color.  I added a couple of Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers and some May Arts ribbon for a super fast card.

Happy Birthday Lynell!

We are having an early birthday celebration for our Queen of Stencils, Lynell Harlow!  Its also time for a new challnege for the month and this month is all about loosing weight...CAS cards!

My card for Lynell uses the new Corner Flowers stencil and the double glitter technique (using Stampendous' micro glitters)  The sentiment is from the Birthday Words stencil.

So happy birthday sweet girl!  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Holidays in a Hurry

Its Thursday and time for another round of this month's Dreamweaver Stencils' Challenge: Holidays in a Hurry!  In between rushing around and wrapping why not do a bit of doodling while sitting with the family?  Here's a card that can be completed almost anywhere in no time at all:

I used the Jumbo Merry Christmas stencil on green ptterened paper and traced through it with a 0.3 Micron pen.  Then I removed the stencil and colored some letters with my Pitt pens and made some stripes with a 1.0 Micron pen.  Finally I added some accents with a Sharpie white paint pen.   Fast and simple!

Joyeux Noel

Its the first Thursday of the month and time for a new challenge from Dreamweaver Stencils.  No one has a ton of extra time during the holiday season, yet we all find a few minutes here and there to create.  So this month we want to see "Holidays in a Hurry".  It could be a quick gift or gift wrap or even a fast card!

I have a quick card for you today using one of our newest dies, Leafless Tree.  I cut it out in brown cardstock and then gued that over the pre-pasted sister stencil Leafless Tree.  I've also added a touch of glitter to the tops of some of the branches.

Noel was stenciled in brown ink with the Joyeux Noel stencil masked off.

Mysterious and Magical

Its all about the magical and mysterious time of Halloween and Fall at Dreamweaver Stencils this month.   Have you joined our challenge?  You still have 2 weeks to enter to win!

I am pulling one from the archives for you today.  We have had a doozy of a virus go through our house.  I've been feeling better the last few days but I'm still seriously dragging and keep taking long naps after work.  Sigh.

This dragon card is from a long time back and still one of my favs.  And what's more magical than a dragon? I used the Dragon stencil and applied versamark ink then after removing the stencil I added red, orange, and gold embossing powders to him.

Here's today's list of players so go leave everyone some love!

Beware!

Good morning!  I am back from a long weekend of fabulous classes from some of the best teachers/designers in the industry and I have photos to share another day.  But today being the first Thursday of the month means a new challenge unfolds at DWS!  This month our challenge at Dreamweaver Stencils is about everything magical and mystical.

I have created a simple Halloween card for you combing a relatively new stencil destined to become a classic and its matching new die.  I first pasted the Leafless Tree stencil with Matte Black Embossing Paste.  While that was drying I cut the matching Leafless Tree die with patterned paper.

After the paste is totally dry I adhered the tree diecut over the top and slightly off set which gives a wonderful shadow effect.

I also added a quick sentiment by cutting out a piece of coordinating paper.  Both papers are from We R Memory Keepers.

Be sure to see what our other designers on Team A (and our special October guest Alison) have created for you this week:

Stampendous Fall Peek

Good morning!  Fall is almost here and when I think of fall a colorful array of leaves comes first to my mind.  This new  Leaf  background stamp  is the perfect way to add leaves to any background or to use as the focal point!

I stamped the  leaf background  three times, twice onto Bazzill calligrahy patterned paper and once onto Brown cardstock.  Both were stamped in Versamark ink.  The one on the Brown cardstock is embossed with Aged Hunter embossing Enamel, and the one on the Caligraphy paper is embossed with a combo of Aged Hunter, Aged Spice, and Aged Scarlet.

Stay tuned all this week for more peeks of Stampendous' newest fall images!  Be sure to check the Stampendous blog for links to our designer's creations.

I went with a Halloween color theme this week and incorporated the adorable Open Owl stencil with one of our brand new Dreamweaver dies!  My Owl was done with the double glitter technique using Art Glitter Crystal as well as colors from the Court Jester and Glitter Garden kits.

Here's a closer look at the cute little Halloween Owl:

He's perched on a branch that I created by cutting the Large Leafless Tree die and then snipping off most of the branches so I could turn it sideways to make a branch.  I also added a touch more glitter to the branches with my Quickie Glue pen.

My background paper as well as the sticker words are from Echo Park's Chillingsworth Manor Collection.  (Note I managed to add some glitter to the stickers as well!)

Check out this week's awesomeness which includes our super sparkly guest designer and previous Dream Team member...

For my card I used a couple of new-ish stamps from Stampendous.

The focal image is Pajama Cat colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  This was layered on a panel that was stamped with Birthday Block which I then cut into 4 pieces.

Last week to play in Dreamweaver Stencils Christmas challenge

You have a few more days to play along with our Christmas in August challenge so don't be late!  Head to the Dreamweaver Stencils blog to find out all the details!

Today I created a card for you using the new adorable Dog Die that matches the Dog stencil!  I pasted the stencil with Matte Black paste and let that dry.  Then I cut my dog with pattern paper.  The pasted area then gives you the perfect foundation to paper piece you dog back together!

I added some paw prints from the Dog words stencil using an ultrafine black marker.  Then I stenciled the Merry Christmas stencil using the same marker.  Ribbon is from May Arts, Pattern paper from Bazzill, and Dotted cardstock from Bo Bunny.

Summertime Challenge

Hi friends!  I know its been a while since I blogged, two weeks in fact!  There's been a lot going on here including top secret design work, but I've also been in a creative slump.  I wish I could order some mojo online :)

Today is Dreamweaver Stencils Thursday challenge: Summertime, Sparklers, and S'more!  I had a card in the works and its just NOT coming out how I want so I thought I'd pull one from the archives.  When I get my latest project done I'll share that too.

For this card I used the double glitter technique and the Retro Standing Cat stencil on the main panel.  I know a cat isnt necessarily summery but my colors are!  Plus my cats all love sunbathing :)

The background panel is with the same technique and the Paisleys stencil.  All glitters are from Stampendous.

Please join my fellow Team A mates today and leave them all some love!  Also we would of course love for you to play along with us this month and you can view the details of how on the Dream It Up blog!

Summertime Challenge at Dreamweaver Stencils

Its all about Summertime, Sparklers, and S'mores for the Dreamweaver Stencils challenge this month!  Won't you play along with us for a chance to win?  

My card today uses the Mosaic Stencil (one of my new favs can you tell?)  It always looks like water to me so I used Oceanic glitter colors for the Double Glitter technique for a wave effect.  I used Tim Holtz Dry Stickles glitters in Lagoon, True Blue, Turquoise,  Lime Green, and Stardust.

This was a very CAS card for me, but the glittered panel was so pretty that I just wanted to leave it alone!  My sentiment is from Stampendous.

Be sure to catch what the rest of team A is up to this week:

Dreamweaver Stencils Pinterest Inspired Color Palette

Its Thursday and time for another round of this month's Dreamweaver Stencils challenge!  Be sure to join us this month for a chance to win...its super simple...just create a project inspired by something you found on Pinterest!

Today I have a card for you using one of the newest stencils...Shasta Flower.  I love flowers and this one is just fabulous!  A little retro, a little funky, and ton of things you can do with it!

I started with a red paper that I sprayed Fruit Punch Memories Mist through the Large Flourish Stencil onto.  The Memories Mists are awesome if you haven't used them before...a bit thicker consistency than other sprays and great for transferring ink from the stencil onto paper for the "negative" image.

After that was dry I stenciled the Shasta Flower in White Glossy paste directly over the top.  I let that dry as well and then reapplied my clean stencil back over the top.  I added Versamark ink through the stencil with a giant dauber and then rubbed on Metallic F/X powders with a q-tip (I used Moonstone, Ivy, Kimono Red, and Pink Poppy).

HERE is the pin that inspired the color palette:

Thanks for popping by and be sure to go leave some leave at my fellow teammate's blogs this week!
