TUTORIAL on CLEAR STAMPS

 

so my first tutorial I want to share with you is-

what you will do with your new clear stamps

 

When you open your beautiful little case - this is what will see inside

 

so you will first peel the back off a sticker

okay.... Now you pick up your rubber die cut stamp - you peel off the back

now apply the rubber stamp to the sticker - leave your sticker on the table and just put your stamp right one top - and don't seperate from the sheet - just leave it all in tacked 

like this!

 
now just pull off and you have a sticker on your stamp and we are ready to apply to our fabulous stamp to the NEW Stampin Up Acrylic Block

   apply to block

apply direct pressure for about 4 seconds............... now we are ready to stamp with our fablous new CLEAR stamps from Stampin Up!

------------------------------

okay let's stamp with this AMAZING STAMP

I used Versa Mark and clear embossed it

 

now for my next turorial.......... Did I mention that I had a LONG POST today LOL :)

-------------------------

Stampin Up Pearls Invented by Carole'Anne

tutorial

okay so we will start with Crystl Effect, Shimmer paint and a stylus

now we are going to apply the first dabs of Crystal Effects to our desired areas... with the stylus

let dry for a few minutes.

 
I am trying to capture the little drops that I did the Crystal effects

now apply a dab of shimmer paint on top of each crystal effects drop

let sit for a few minutes

now apply another coat of Crystal effects.............. and voila

You have BEAUTIFUL pearls invented by  Carole'Anne  he he :)

up close of the pearls - the shimmer on the paper is not from the shimmer paint - it's the NEW designer papper - it's so pretty

-----------------------

 

okay so now that the tutorials are done here is my card!

I loved learning how you do your pearls! I am definitely going to try that to dress up some of my cards.

[Mitzi]

This post is a day late as a friend and I spent the weekend stamping our Christmas cards and I didn't get online. I have 125 cards to make and "only" 50 more to go. I love your pearl idea. I'll have to try it. Another beautiful card. And thanks for all of your commentary. It is nice to hear about your family including your pet. After all, they are part of our families, too, arent' they?

[Dawn]

Wowsers! She's awesome! Thanks for showing us the steps and that great way to make "pearls". Max is a cutie too! :)

[Priscilla Grunes]

Awesome card Carole'Anne! I love your step-by-step commentary. It is really helpful. Those handmade pearls are amazing. I am going to try them. Thanks for sharing.

[Carey Rogers]

OK, first I have to say thanks for the great info on how to do your super fantastic pearls. Second, Max looks absolutely adorable (Roscoe says to tell Max he hopes Santa brings him all the chew toys and bones he wants). Third, I love your card (nothing different there I always love them). Fourth, (getting long winded aren't I) if I win this set draw someone else since I just won something. Fifth, I think that is enough for today.
