Today I know it is late but I am going to show you a Valentine Card, but it is not using a regular Valentines Set. I am using the Incredible Like You set.
See anything Valentine related in this set? Well I didn't either until I turned one upside down.
So I made my 3 favorite people a Valentines Day Card, Don, Kayla and Meigan.
Let's see how to make this #simplestamping Valentine Card.
Using Poppy Parade with the smallest
leaf ink up and stamp 2 one next to the other. Creating a heart. 3 along each side.
With Blackberry Bliss ink up the
saying and stamp.
Did you know that you can use just one stamp set and do so many different cards adn projects with just one set?
I even have an on-line class for just that.
Every month we use 1 stamp set to make 3 - 8 projects using that one set. This month we are using Humming Together for all the projects including a Stain Glass Card and a Z Fold Card. You will receive all the instructions and photos for the projects. Also if you order the monthly Stamp Set from me and use that month's hostess code you will have your shipping reimbursed on your order. Cost of this great class? Only $15 a month but to try it out your first month will be $6. Sign up by clicking here.
Today I want to teach you a new technique, I call it the Ink Pour Technique. Have you the great Acrylic Pour Technique that is taking over the internet and crafters?
This is where you semi layer paint and then pour it over a canvas. I thought maybe we could do something like it with ink. Well I tried and mainly what I got was a brown yuk. I kept trying. I had done 1 pour and in the class we did a pour and then spun it on a lazy Suzanne, so I tried that. Worked OK but left a hole in the middle of the card stock. didn't cover like the above but still made a nice background. So I tried it again on Glossy Card Stock and just dripped the ink and moved the card stock so it would swirl and move. I think using something like a tooth pick or something similar that you could really do a full back ground. Instead of mixing the ink you have to put it on 1 at a time and then make sure it is dried between ink. I tried to let it dry on it's own and even after 48 hours it was not dry. I blotted between each ink application and that gave me another piece of card stock to use for back ground.
Here is what I got. This is the Glossy Card Stock.
This is the blotted card stock.
The blotted one bleeds since it is not dry between application so you have different coloring look.
Would you all like to see the video?
Instructions:
Drip your first color on the
glossy card stock. You can tip it to run
it or use a toothpick to make photos.
TIP if your re inker is to thick add a little water.
With the Whisper White Card Stock blot,
the ink dry. Make sure your colors are
dry before you continue.
Continue with other colors until
you reach the design you like.
On There's A Card Thursday I will show you a card made with this technique so don't miss it.

Today in #simplestamping I want to show a another use for our water color pencils. I will not be water coloring with them. I love to water color but sometimes you just can't water color and this is one of those times. I am using the Whisper White Note Cards and it really is not a great medium to water color with. So I just colored with them.
This is one of the #simplestamping cards I did for last month's Stamp a Month Club. Great class and you can join by clicking here.
