Post-It Note Book

     Here is the other Post-It note holder I mentioned in yesterday's post.  This is the one we made at my May Stampin' Nite class.  I thought this would make the perfect Mother's Day gift.

     I CASEd this idea from Angie Kennedy Juda.  She has a wonderful tutorial on her site.  It's so simple and quick to make.  I spent more time decorating it than making it.

Here is what the inside looks like:

A Cute Thank You Card

CASEd from Sarah Wood - found on Pinterest

     The minute I saw this card on Pinterest, I knew I had to make it.  I not only made one, but we made this card in my Stampin' Nite class in August.

     When I saw this card, I knew the Pretty Print Textured Embossing Folder would make the perfect background for this card.  I love the color combo of So Saffron, Pool Party, and Whisper White.

So Saffron card - 3 x 3 size

Pool Party card - 3 x 3 size

     I used the Envelope Punch Board to make the matching envelopes.  I first cut the paper to size, then I stamped the flowers all over the paper.  Once I was done stamping, I then used the Envelope Punch Board to create the envelopes.

RECIPE

CARD STOCK:  Whisper White, Pool Party, So Saffron

INKS:  Pool Party, So Saffron, & Baked Brown Sugar

STAMPS:  Flower Shop & Express Yourself

TOOLS:  Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits, Pansy Punch, Pretty Print Textured Embossing Folder, matching buttons, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid Glue, Stamping Sponges, Bone Folder, & Envelope Punch Board

Highlighting Technique

     I ♥ LOVE ♥ techniques!!!!  I love to find new ways to use all my Stampin' Up! products.  So what is a girl to do?  Get on the Internet, Pinterest, and blogs, and find new and exciting techniques to try.

Here's a new one for you to try: the Highlighting technique

     I found this technique from Gina K.  It's so simple to do and it's such a huge WOW!  Everyone loves it!

MINI TUTORIAL

Pick a light colored card stock.  Rub your Embossing Buddy over the entire piece of card stock.  Stamp your image in Versa Mark ink.  Use white or black embossing powder and heat emboss your images.

Use a marker or a Blender Pen and ink pad in a dark color than your card stock.  Color in the open areas of your embossed images.

**NOTE**  I used a Blender Pen and ink pad - this way I could control the intensity of the color inside my butterflies.

     I hope you give this technique a try.  It was so much fun to make this card.  Of course the picture does not do it justice.  It's so pretty in person!

RECIPE

CARD STOCK:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, & Pink Pirouette

INKS:  Versa Mark, Blushing Bride, & Strawberry Slush

STAMPS:  Best of Butterflies & Express Yourself

TOOLS:  3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim in Strawberry Slush, White Embossing powder, Heat Tool, Blender Pen, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Stamping Sponges, & Dimensionals
