SU's art Stencils

This is my first attempt at the Stampin' Up!'s Stencils. Wow what fun! I learn a lot. First off I bought spray aheasive to use on the stencils and I learned you don't want to spray that stuff a close range with your fan on in your stamp room.. I have spray aheasive everywhere! Even on my computer keys that was across the room when I sprayed it! I was also stuck to the floor! I'm free now. I used acrilic paint and it dries fast so was unable to move it around like I wanted, but pleased with my first attempt. THis is on a piece of canvas. I did a couple more and will post them soon. I sure hope SU comes out with some stenciling brushes 'cause the ones I bought loose their hair! and I was picking that out too. Going to try some with our die inks on paper and make a card.. I'll let you know how that goes too. Thanks for looking.

Tart and Tangy

Love this set. IT's a set of 4 "Tart and Tangy" if you look it up in the catalog you will see where I got the inspiration for this card. I added some crystal effects for the dimension and shine. I've learn to use the SU Idea Book and Catalog more often.. It is filled with over 300 ideas! Pick you one today and Make a Card! Thanks for Stopping by and Stay tuned as the retired list aka Last chance list will post June 1st.

What a cool technique

My Friend Cassie sent me a card that had this technique on it. Not sue that I can explain it.. I'm a "Show me" person.. Probably why I love what I do.. I get to share what I learn. I'll be showing this technique at our Demo meeting on the 1st, along with my technique club in June. The Brown paper started out as very vanilla...It is an embossed resist along with another technique that Cassie shared with me, but I forgot the name... so When Cassie sees this on this blog I bet she could post a comment to explain. I'm so excited to be able to share it in person with you girls. Thanks for looking and I also appreciate you sharing my blog with your friends.
Jan.....BTW Organic Outline is my favorite stampset! Sure hope it doesn't retire.

Spring Flowers

I went to my friend Elizabeth's tonight and she cooked me a yummy supper and we sat around her kitchen table and made paper flowers! these are so fun. If you were at my camp last Saturday you also learned how to make these. The bottom right corner is a photo of the Occasions Mini catalog where Stampin Up! featured these flowers. Thanks to my Friend Linda from Stampingschool.com she taught me to make these. Some of mine are better than others but FUN was had making them! Hope you'll get some of our yummy designer papers and make some too!
