Okay, now let's get to some stamping fun! Today's card is another in a series of the Ombre Technique.
So aren't they the cutest things ever!!! Looks kind of like the Roaring Twenties! Let me show you how easy it is (f you are viewing this from your email, click here to see the video)…
Supplies:
Stamps: A Dozen Thoughts and Happy Watercolor
Card Stock: Pool Party, Island Indigo, Midnight Muse
Ink: Island Indigo and Black Stazon
Accessories: #133325 NEW Fringe Scissors, #129393 Creped Filter Paper, Linen Thread, Pool Party Seam Binding
TUTORIAL:
1. Start with a cardbase that is the same color as your lightest color in your layers (I used Pool Party). Cut the card base 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".
2. Cut three pieces of Pool party at 2" x 4 1/4", with the short side on top, score ONLY two of these pieces at the 1" mark – leave one unscored.
3. cut two pieces of Island Indigo at 2" x 4 1/4", with the short side on top, score these pieces at 1".
4. cut two pieces of Midnight Muse at 2" x 4 1/4", with the short side on top, score these pieces at 1".
5. Using your NEW Fringe Scissors, on the long side, fringe all six scored pieces up to the scored mark (it's okay if you go over a little bit, it will be covered with the next piece).
6. Starting with the darkest card stock (in this card it's the Midnight Muse) adhere that piece to the base card with the fringe lined up on the bottom opening.
7. Next piece of Midnight Muse, go up about 1/2" and adhere that piece. Continue to do this with 5 of the 6 pieces of fringed layers, then STOP!
8. On the piece of card stock that is NOT scored, stamp your sentiment. Adhere THAT piece to the last piece (that is not attached to the card yet) of fringed card stock. Take that layer and adhere it to your card.
9. Now yo have all the fringed pieces, it's time to embellish! There are so many things you can do. Go wild!
10. Sit back, put your feet up and enjoy your creation!!! You did great!
Hidy Ho Stampers,

Hidy Ho Stampers,
I stumbled upon this technique which is not new but it was to me. So I wanted to research and do a video history of all the ways you could use it. So this card is the first in my series of Ombre cards. First thing I did was look it up in the dictionary. It sounded Spanish to me but it's actually a French word. This is what it had to say "having colors or tones that shade into each other – used especially with fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark." Okay, no where did they mention PAPER!!!! Well, Webster, you haven't met Stampin' Up! so I'm here to show you what we can do with Ombre and card stock! :0)
soooooooo cool!
So here is how I did it… If you are viewing this in your inbox, click here to see the video (grab some popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy – then go try it!)
Isn't that so cool? I used colors from the Neutrals Family but
you can use different colors as long as they go from light to dark!
Then it can be called OMBRE! :0)
REMINDERS!!!!!
Remember to put April 21st onto your calendar!!!! That is the day that Stampin' Up!'s RETIRED list will be out. YOU NEED TO SHOP ON THAT DAY on my website www.stampladee.stampinup.net as things sell out fast. Once they are gone, they are gone. This goes for STAMPS AND ACCESSORIES!!!!

Hidy Ho Stampers and Gooooooooood Morning,
This past weekend I had my monthly stamping get together with the guys and gals in our stamping group. They are so much fun! Remember the highlights from last month? We had our "Oscar Party". We eat, we share, we stamp (of course) and we just have so much fun EVERY month. One of the things that we do is a "card swap". If you want to participate, there is a theme. This month it was all about Punch Art. If you participated, you had to make 24 full cards, stick to the theme and you have to use all current product. My downline is so talented that I wanted to showcase just a a few of the swaps they brought! (I just love my group).
How stinken cute Marie Tollisen. She used the Fringe Scissors for her hair
So adorable and what great detail Monica Poitras
(you guys KNOW how much I love my Minions)

Hidy Ho Stampers and gooooooooood morning!
ha ha ha…aren't you glad it's Friday!
some days are just slower than other – right?!
it's been a long productive week!
I'm so excited to show you my project for the day. I've been waiting to show you this until after I taught it at my classes. I'm sure you've seen one of these Cards-in-the-Box. I've gotten a lot of inspiration from a lot of very talented stampers out there. Hopefully this version will help you streamline this project. So thank you to WHOEVER started this Card-in-a-Box craze it's so much fun – here is Deb Valder's Version!
yep those are real dollars!
we are going to get right into it. Click here if you are viewing this from your email.
So what did you think?
Here are a few more samples.
Used Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper

Used Wetlands Stamp Set and
Zoo Babies with Gorgeous Grunge

These cards are so much fun and so addicting. You can fill them with anything!!! I've done one for a wedding, I've done one with a bouquet of GIFT CARDs for a bridal shower. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
As promised on my video, here are the measurements! the 2-4-6-8 box has been around since the Caveman days, it's so easy and it's one of the first things I ever did 15 years ago (we just had a bottom to it which meant there was one more score line). It lent itself to this project!
MEASUREMENTS:
Box:
Cut piece of cardstock at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (it's a half sheet of cardstock)
Score this piece with the 5 1/2" side on top at 2 3/4"
Turn and with the 8 1/2" piece on top you are going to score to the MIDDLE LINE (at the 2 3/4" mark) and cut the rest of the way down
Score at 2" then Cut
Score at 4" then Cut
Score at 6" then Cut
Score at 8" then Cut
That's IT!!! then put it together.
Insert:
Cut a piece at 2 3/4" x 8"
Score at 1/2", 2 1/2", 3", 5" 5 1/2" 7 1/2"
Fold into a Z with a flare (the ends of the Z are going to be going the opposite way) and POP it into your box.
Layered Pieces:
Back pieces – Cardstock 1 7/8" x 5 3/8" and the DSP is 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"
Small Panels – Cardstock 1 7/8" x 2 5/8" and the DSP is 1 3/4" x 2 1/2"
