Stamping With Kristen

Donuts and Hot Cider

We began a tradition last year to make donuts on our front porch on Halloween.  We also have hot cider.  This way we are able to visit a little more with the parents.  We made over 150 donuts this year.

Michael had to work this year, so our parents came to help make donuts and to take the kids trick or treating.

Michael worked on these with the kids before work.

Abigail chose a dove.

Can you believe this candy?  I must admit, I took one from Charles and Abigail's piles.  I will take one from Isaac's tomorrow to be fair:)

Card in the mail

Yesterday I received this card from Sharon Miller.

I love our Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper.  You do not need to do much to a card when you have such great paper!  This is a great card to make when you have extra strips of paper.  Thanks for the card Sharon!

Mario Card

I made this card for our neighbor who is having a Mario Birthday Party.  I used 8 different punches.  If you want to make a card using punches, there are many great designs out on the internet.  If you go to www.splitcoaststampers.com you can do a search and find punch art for all different themes. 

The punches I used are:

1 3/4" circle

1 3/8" circle

1/2" circle

1/8" circle

1/4" circle

1 3/8" X 5/8" oval

1 3/4" scallop circle Extra Large

Modern Label Extra Large

 

If you would like to order any of these punches go to my website: www.kristenbryant.stampinup.net

 

Fall Card

We made this card at the Advanced Card Class.  We used Watercolor paper and scribbled 3 different colors of Water Color Wonder Crayons on it.  We then took the Aqua Painter and made the water color look to it.  We stamped the Tree with Early Expresso once it dried.  To get the splattered look I had them spray the Log Cabin Smooch Spritz.  When using Smooch Spritz, make sure you use the Color Catcher so you do not get it all over your table.

Let me know if you would like to buy any of these products or learn how to use them.

Aqua Painter Fun

When I had my advanced cards class we made the above card.  To make the flower, you need to start with Shimmer White card stock.  Emboss the flower with white.  I sprayed the card stock with water, and then took a couple re-inkers (Regal Rose and So Saffron) and put a couple drops on a stamp set case.  I ran my aqua painter through the drop of Regal rose and applied it to the wet Shimmer White Card stock.  The color runs since it is wet.  Add So Saffron to fill in.  Let dry.

My friend and fellow demonstrator Lyssa Zwolanek taught me this technique, and also how to make your own colored ribbon.  Start with White Taffeta Ribbon.  Run a So Saffron marker down one side, and then Regal Rose down the other side.  Run the Aqua Painter down the middle to blend them together. 

What color combinations do you think would be good on ribbon?

80% off many items!
