Cuttlebug Highlights in Autumn
TSSC41: Witches Brew
Since my photography on this was not spectacular, here is the recipe for Witches Brew (from the stamp), if you are so inclined to cook today:
Witches Brew:
Three Purple Tadpoles
Two Pinches of Ghost Dust
A dash of Creole
Frog Warts (add to taste)
A split hair from a Queen Bee
One cup of Camel Spit
Two tsp. of Frozen Rainbow
*Mix thoroughly, simmer over low heat for 4 hours. Serve Ice Cold.
Hope you enjoy your brew!
Science Fiction ATC
Camouflage Camping..
I originally bought these stamps to scrapbook pictures from my son's Boy Scout camping trip. They are just too cute to let languish on my shelf, though. They seemed a perfect match for the Camouflage Technique from the October 2008 issue of the TJ Newsletter, too.
I love my Bear card!
Stamps: Close to My Heart
Blogger's Challenge: Gift Giving
I have a little confession: I struggle with this kind of thing. I usually approach them with a moderate level of dread, since I know that 3-D stamped things usually end up looking like a Kindergartner made them when they are crafted from my hands. I actually like this one, though.
The leaves were done using the Stamp Rolling technique from the Technique Junkie Newsletter's 1st Edition CD. Stamps are from Close to My Heart.
I hope my SIL likes this little gift...
Wonderful Wednesday Giveaway -- Shimmerz Paints
- They're already mixed. No recipe, no mess
- They're ridiculously shimmery
- They dry on glossy or non-porous surfaces, so they're perfect for use on acetate or metal
- They come in 35 spectacular colors
- They're non-toxic
- They're water-based
One thing I discovered while working with them is that when I wanted a different color, I simply colored my image with marker underneath, then painted over that with the Shimmerz Butter Cream -- it was like having custom colors at my disposal!

A Rockin' Skull - Designer Tile Card
The card uses the Designer Tile Technique from the August 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I especially love this skull -- after stamping it I covered it with VersaMark, covered it with glittering translucent embossing powder, heat set it and cut it out. I love the shimmer of it! I have a close-up below.
I hope my partner likes this card!
The stamps and paper are all from SU.
TSSC: 40: Faux Handmade Paper
I just love this Santa from Rubberstamp Avenue. It is my all-time favorite. To me, this IS Santa. I couldn't resist using him for the Technostamper Sketch Challenge (#40) this week!
I stamped my Santa in black, then colored him with chalks. i edged him in gold, layered in white, then put him on a rich piece of Faux handmade paper (August 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter). That is layered on a piece of blue embossed paper, over a white card. The snowflakes are felt, and I added glitter to them.
Doesn't it just leave you wishin' for December 24th?
TSSC 39 - Glitter Masking and Cuttlebug Highlights
The front panel on this card uses the Glitter Masking Technique from the October Issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. The Spiders, and Circle and the orange square are all glittered! That panel is layered over a spiderweb piece of Cuttlebug Highlights, also from the October issue.
The Boo stamp is from The Angel Company.BC: What's the Word, Bird?
