<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I brayered Cool Pool Paint on the Gel Press, added the Starburst Lines stencil and pulled 3 prints from it, this one being the last. I put it aside knowing I would add another print to it. A week or so later, I placed it over the third print of a Chevron stencil with a gradient look made of Sweet Berry and Cool Pool paints. <br /><br />I still wasn’t sure I liked this, but when I saw the Positive Life ATS, I knew I had to be positive and try it. Using Cosmic Grape cardstock really made it pop! I think it worked…how about you?<br /><br />It needed some sparkle, so what do you do? Of course you add some Sparkle Silk and Sparkle Dots!<br /><br />Everything I used is from Fun Stampers Journey and can be purchased on my website: funstampersjourney.com/karens<br /><br />AT-0312 Positive Life ATS<br />JM-0107 Gel Press<br />JM-0007 Starburst Lines<br />JM-0011 Chevron<br />JM-0020 Cool Pool Paint<br />JM-0025 Sweet Berry Paint<br />CS -0118 Cool Pool Cardstock<br />CS -0122 Cosmic Grape Cardstock<br />CS 0003- Black Licorice Cardstock <br />CS -0040 Whip Cream Cardstock<br />IP-0041 Black Licorice Ink<br />IP-0126 Sparkle Silk<br />AC-0022 Sparkle Dots<br /><br /></span></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span>Any comment is truly appreciated! </span></span></i> </span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wanted to give a friend, who loves chocolates, a little gift for listening to me one day when I needed to vent. I could have just handed her the bag of yummy chocolates and she would of been thrilled, but that wouldn’t do. I knew one of our Snack Boxes would be perfect. Can you believe it…you get 25 of them for only $8.95!</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I stamped the larger flower on the Whip Cream cardstock in Watermelon Fusion ink and also on a sticky note making sure it covered most of the sticky part. I then fussy cut it slightly inside the edge. For this masking technique, die-cutting would not work. I covered the large flower with the sticky note and then stamped the smaller flowers in Huckleberry Fusion and the greenery in Kiwi Slice. I made sure to press quite firmly when stamping so there was as little as possible of the white showing through. </span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Hi All!</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I love, love, love my FSJ Gel Press!!! I feel like a little kid with the freedom to create whatever I want. </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> Creating with our FSJ Gel Press is so much fun! You not only create one print, but can lift at least one other print, with what you have left on the Gel Press and/or the stencil. Two or three for the same price...I always love a bargain! </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">If I don't care for the print at first, I can add another layer or put it away to peruse at a later date. I've taken out creations I wasn't happy with at first and found them perfect to use with a different stamp or as a small decorative piece on a card.</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">During the next few days I'll be showing cards using the same ATS stamp, "Make a Wish" in similar layouts using different types of Gel Press prints.</span></i></span><br />

I kept the paints pretty much separate, only blending them a bit in the middle.</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Here's the first of my No Prob-Llama cards. I just llove our llama!<br /><br />I've used our FSJ Gel Press to create the cardstock for the llama.<br /><br />I placed small amounts of Buttercream, Pineapple Smoothie, and Oatmeal Cookie Acrylic Paint on the Gel Press. Using our Brayer, I pounced the paints across the Gel Press and then smoothed them to cover all of the 8 1/2" x 11" Gel Press. I then placed a piece Buttercream Cardstock on top of the Gel Press, smoothed the cardstock into the paint, and pulled it off. Then I placed another piece of Buttercream Cardstock on top of the Gel Press, and did the same creating the second, or ghost print<br /><br /><br />When dry, I stamped the Alpaca and die-cut it. (Be careful with the llama or any stamp the has a larger open area. Even if you stamp the ink to the stamp, as I always recommend, you can still get ink in the wrong area. You can either make sure you wipe those spots each time or cut that part of the rubber out of the stamp as I do.)<br /><br /><br />Everything I used is from Fun Stampers Journey and can be purchased on my website: funstampersjourney.com/karens<br /><br />BD-0282 No Prob-llama Bundle<br /><br />JM-0107 Gel Press<br /><br />TO-0087 Brayer<br /><br />IP-0041 Black Licorice Ink<br /><br />CS-0006 Buttercream Cardstock<br /><br />CS-0036 Tangerine Fusion Cardstock<br /><br />CS-0088 Beach Ball Cardstock<br /><br />PP-0030 Party Pop Printed Paper<br /><br />AD-0002 Journey Glaze<br /><br />TO-0118 Stapler<br /><br />TO-0120 Brush Silver Staples<br /><br />AC-0207 Sparkle Trim<br /><br />JM-0019 Buttercream Paint<br /><br />JM-0023 Pineapple Smoothie Paint<br /><br />JM-0022 Oatmeal Cookie Paint<br /><br /><br /><br />I hope you're enjoying my No Prob-Llama Llama cards. <br /><br />Any comment is truly appreciated!

I just love the Beautiful Wings stamp set...it's gorgeous! Here's how I made my card:<br />
<br />
1. Stamp top layer of butterfly with Whip Cream Ink on Grape Fusion Cardstock.<br />
2. Stamp Beautiful Wings Butterfly using Pool Party, Cosmic Grape and Black Licorice Inks on Whip Cream cardstock. <br />
3. Fussy cut wings only.<br />
4. Stamp top butterfly on Grape Fusion background in Black Licorice ink. <br />
5. Pop up butterfly wings place over Black Licorice butterfly.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I'm highlighting two of my favorite items retiring from the Fun Stampers Journey Collection, the Enjoy Coffee Stamp Set and Pocket Card Die. I love the versatility of both, so don't miss out. They, along with the all our patterned papers, are available at 40% off only until June 30th...then they are gone forever! <br />

I used the Ink Splat ATS and coffee stamp to make the background on the Pocket card using Oatmeal Cookie ink on Oatmeal Cookie card stock. I love the tone on tone look. I die cut a piece of Neutrals Printed paper in just the center section of the pocket card. Then I trimmed off 1/8" on both sides so it will fit without adding bulk to the folds. I fussy cut the coffee cup out of Whip Cream and the sleeve out of Oatmeal Cookie CS and popped it up. </div>

I<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">made this trio of Under the Sea creations for trades </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">at the "Celebrate You" Fun Stampers Journey Convention. The convention was absolutely amazing! Our new catalog, going live on July 1st, is over 300 pages and has so many new awesome items. Only a couple of weeks...</span></div>

<div>
It was a Trio Trade...three colors and three types of cards while using one set of stamps. We were to make a card, an ATC (artist trading card), and a pocket card.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love the Under the Sea stamp set and had fun creating the background paper, which I do for many of my cards. I use our most versatile stamp...the Ink Splat ATC.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I covered Whip Cream cardstock, stamping the splat in one color and then another, and another, etc., building depth and creating new colors where the splats intersect. I made three background papers of different color combinations since I was making 15 trio sets. You could make it on one sheet by varying the colors used in different areas. I then stamped and die cut the images.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To create the background of the card and ATC I embossed Pool Play CS using the Ink Splash EF. The main color I used was one of our brand new colors, Cosmic Grape. I love these new, bright, amazing colors which you can order on July 1st when our new FSJ catalog goes live. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used Turbo Teal (new color) Silk to accent the Note Pocket card. Blue Skies sequins were used on the card while Sparkle Dots were added to the ATC and Note Pocket card. I popped up a seahorse and some fish because "when in doubt, pop it out".</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been missing from the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for quite a long time. Hopefully I be around from now on. The stamps I used are from <a href="http://crackerboxrubberstamps.com/">Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps</a>. They are <a href="http://crackerboxrubberstamps.com/shop/popcorn-bowl">Popcorn Bowl</a>, <a href="http://crackerboxrubberstamps.com/shop/slimer">Slimer</a>, <a href="http://crackerboxrubberstamps.com/shop/popcorn-kernel">Popcorn Kernel</a>, and <a href="http://crackerboxrubberstamps.com/shop/monster-fingers">Monster Fingers</a>. </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I paper pieced a scrap of paper I made a lomg time ago using Tim Holtz Distress Stain for the bowl. Slimer, the monster, and the popcorn were colored with Copics. I colored the background and the edges of the sayings by using a sponge and green olive ink. </span></i></span><br />

I'm in Southern Wisconsin, hoping for a white Christmas, but it doesn't appear to be possible. Our one and only accumulation snow was fourteen inches; all of that is gone. I don't want a huge amount...maybe an inch or two. <br />
<br />
I used my favorite snowman stamp, Frosty Fun...he so adorable. Frosty, and the rest of the items I used are from Fun Stampers Journey. I used the Bubble, Bubble Stencil with Pool Play True Color Fusion Ink on both the Pool Play And Whip Cream CS. Silver Splash was used on the Black Licorice frame for the Snapshot Frames die set. Let it Snow and the snowflakes were stamped in Whip Cream ink are from the Snowflake Burst Stamps. The snowflakes were cut from the matching die set. Frosty was colored with Copics and his shadows were sprinkled with Journey Sparkle Dust. These items can be found on my site at funstampersjourney.com/karens<br />

Maybe you've noticed that Edna is looking a little perkier than usual. It's probably just the pink background...it brings out her best assets. <a href="http://snarkystampers.blogspot.com/">The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #44 is B is for Boobs</a> in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. </div>

Sister Chris and I must have been on the same wavelength since our cards are so similar. Hers was done first, but I didn't see it before I made mine. If I had I might have used some of the same accentuating features as hers! <br />
<br />
<br />
I decided to show my card using two different sayings...one is nice, the other snarky.<br />

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
It's Challenge #40 over at the <a href="http://snarkystampers.blogspot.com/2015/08/soss-40-u-is-for-ugly.html">Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers</a>. Get ready to dig deep because it is: U is for Ugly...Use the Ugliest Paper in Your Stash. Find that paper you can't believe you bought. Oooh, maybe the one that just happened to come in a pack...after all you hoard all your paper, no matter what! Edna, I guess, is a true paper hoarder. I'm one too, although I did get rid of a lot at a rummage sale three years ago.<br />

<br />
Welcome to the <a href="http://snarkystampers.blogspot.com/">Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge # 39: S is for Shaker!</a> This one was a real challenge for me. I had never made a shaker card before and wasn't sure what I was doing. It might have been easier if I found the foam tape I bought years ago when shaker cards were first popular. I made this shaker by die-cutting and stacking a lot of hearts. Gluing each layer was one thing, lining up the ampersand cardstock another, but gluing the acetate was insane. I kept getting glue on the acetate...five tries before I didn't mess it up too much. But after all of this, I'm betting once I find my foam tape, I'll try making a shaker card again.<br />

I made this card for a friend's wedding based on her colors of pink, green and silver. I decided to made the heart green so it would pop.

<i>Hello All!</i><br />
<i>It's a new challenge for us, over at the <a href="http://snarkystampers.blogspot.com/2015/07/soss-38-r-is-for-rude.html">Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers</a> ~ Challenge #38: R is for Rude or AKA, The New Profanity Challenge. </i><i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Check out Edna...her mouth is closed, but look what she's thinking! If you don't use profanity, here's your chance to share some of the thoughts you'd might like to scream at times. Your creation can be just rude to allover profane...you choose! </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I had a little trouble with this challenge...there was this perfect stamp I had and I just couldn't find it! <b>#$$@@##$%%@$%&$#&@#$#$!!!! </b></i><i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>While digging through my bazillion stamps I came upon this one, by Gary Patterson, from a long, long, time ago. </i><span style="font-size: small;"><i>I feel it works when I add a little narration. The free font I used is Junior and Stinky.</i></span><br />

Hi all, and welcome to Challenge #36 of the <a href="http://snarkystampers.blogspot.com/">Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers ~ D is for Dudes</a>! So get out out your dudeish ( is that a word? ) stamps and supplies and go for it. Father's Day is around the corner and you need to create a card or gift for someone. I created a gift card holder. My father has passed, so I made this gift card holder for a masculine thank you.</div>
