This was my favorite card from the Make & Take class at the Stampin’ Up! Convention.  For one it is one of my favorite new stamp sets called Just Believe.  And it used a water coloring technique that makes it look like your a real artist!  The stamp does all the work because it is such a nice image.  Using Stampin’ Write Markers you color your image.  Using a fine mist spritzer (like our Stampin’ Mist cleaner spritzer) – spritz the stamp with water and then stamp onto Watercolor Paper.  I hold it on the paper for just a few seconds before lifting it.  The water makes it look like a real watercolor painting.

We made this card in my hands-on class on Friday.  It looks harder than it is and turns out just beautiful every time.

Then I have a couple of catalog product updates.

The Play Date Rub-Ons (Item #118760) on page 184 in the catalog are now available to order.

The Punch Caddy on page 200 in the catalog are not going to be available at all.  I know I had them on my wish list and I was disappointed to here this announcement.  Due to serious production and quality issues with the product Stampin’ Up! has decided not to offer this product at all.  I’d much rather know that now that find out it is a bad product after selling it to someone.

Now it is time for Monika’s Blog Bingo!  Does anyone have all the called pieces so far?

I am continuing with Round 1 of Monika’s Blog Bingo.  Round 2 is full and I’m taking names for Round 3 right now  which is close to being full too.  See this POST for more details.

Here is piece #4 – the Owl image from the Cute by the Inch stamp set – hostess set- (stamped in Chocolate Chip).

I hope you are having a nice weekend!
