Just some things to think about as you play along with us this week:
  • You may flip or rotate the card sketch, change or replace the shapes, but please make sure the general layout is recognizable.
  • Share a direct link to your creation, not just your blog, using the InLinkz feature at the end of this post. If InLinkz is down, please add a link with your comment.
     
  • If you don't have a blog, don't worry!  You can still use inLinkz by linking to your photo posted on a social media site.
  • All members of the Paper Craft Crew Design Team are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and as such, we LOVE to see a minimum of 3 Stampin' Up! products or stamped images used on your card but don't let that stop you from participating. Whether or not you use Stampin' Up! products on your card, we still want you to participate and know that you are still eligible to be a Featured Artisan.
  • When posting to your blog or other social media, please use keyword PCCCS090.
     
  • POSTING END TIME:  If you'd like to be considered as one of our Featured Artisans, please be sure to link your project by Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 11:55 PM EST

Create a watercolor effect with a spritzer - Super easy!



Don't you just love the look of watercoloring?
But it looks like a lot of hard work....NOT!



Learn how you can create a watercolor effect using Stamps and the Stampin' Spritzer. 
Brian (who works at Stampin' Up) shows you just how simple it is.
 

Products used:
Watercolor paper
Spritzer
Two colors of Stampin' up inkpads
Your favorite stamp(s) - get your faves on the retiring list before June 1st
And water, of course!

When you become a Stampin' Up demonstrator, you can go to the annual Stampin' Up convention in July (held in Salt Lake City) and go to many educational seminars and workshops.  I have gone to several of Brian's and they are always fun and informative - he really knows what he is doing!

Thanks for the short video tutorial Brian!

Check out how you can join Stampin' Up in my online store!

Last day of FREE shipping; fave Stampin' Up items that are retiring

 

You can see all of the retiring products in my online Stampin' Up store and today is the LAST day to get free shipping on them.  You can order anything in the Clearance Rack (a few retiring items here!) and Deal of the Week and receive the FREE shipping too! 

Plan out your future projects for holidays, etc. now and save on having them sent directly to you.  That shipping and handling $$ you save now will allow you to get a few more items, right??  Sometimes I just can't believe how much shipping/handling costs...


Here is the last of my fave picks that will be retiring...
