Bleach Stamping Card and Technique and Holiday Card Idea

Bleach is not only for cleaning... you can use it with your stamps.  Bleach stamping works well with dark colored card stock.  Here is picture of a card and technique page using bleach stamping.  I also added some shimmer to this card and technique page. Subscribe for the month of November to get the instructions and details at Craft Project Central. 

Bleach Stamping Card and Technique page designed by Zeva

Normally, I have a holiday stamp-a-stack, but this year, I've been really busy with work, kid activities, and volunteering.  Hopefully, this will help those who will miss my class this year.  This card is almost exactly the same as the one created with the bleach technique.

Stampin' Up! Supplies (unless noted):

• Card Stock: Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red, River Rock
• Stamp Set: Lovely As a Tree, Snow Swirled
• Ink: Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red 
• Accessories: 3/8" Riding Hood Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Another Faux Tin Ceiling Card

August Projects at Craft Project Central

I can't believe we're halfway into August and it will be back to school soon.  The last couple of days have been cleaning and piling up items to sell or giveaway.  I'll update my "For Sale" later this week.

I know I'm behind in posting all the fabulous August projects at Craft Project Central. Here are the latest projects.  The faux tin ceiling tile technique creates a great background for cards, and I'm actually starting to think about the holidays early this year instead of waiting till the last minute.

Naoko designed the beautiful handbag and wallet. The handbag can hold cards and the wallet can hold gift cards, stamps, and other small items.

Black Magic - sounds pretty mysterious?  This is the technique page/card project I designed for Craft Project Central.  This technque is a great way to bring a WOW to your card.  If you're going to the Stampin' Up! convention, you might see this card. This is one of my swap cards (sadly... I'm not going, but my friend, Nancy, will be swapping for me).

Two-step Stamping Technique at CPC

When I first became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I found how easy it was to use the two-step stamping technique to create great cards, especially with Stampin' Up! exclusive stamp sets.  If you want to learn more about this technique, Jacque has created a technique page for Craft Project Central.  Remember, there are stamp sets on sale right now till the end of April that are great for this two-step stamping technique.  Visit my website under promotions for details of the sets on sale.

Technique Page and Card Holder - Last two projects for Feb CPC

Check out the last two projects for the month of February at Craft Project Central.

The "Reflection" technique page is designed by Jacque. The instructions will tell you how to create a reflection and a card. You can learn more about this technique when you sign up for the month of February.  If you want to start your technique book, don't forget in the January, you can learn the "Spotlight" technique (you can also sign up for the month of January).

Here's another February project designed by Shelby. It's a card holder with matching cards.  Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper (DSP) is used for this project.
