Today's card shows a few teckies I saw online.

The first teckie that I wanted to try was the bubble window.

There is a bubble thinlit set available through Stampin' Up! that I really need to purchase....

especially with the Big Shot special going on right now.

I used the large oval punch first and then used the star from the Circle card thinlit and my Big Shot with the magnetic plate to create the point for the large bubble window.

Then I Black embossed the robot from Boys will be boys clear stamp set.

I colored the image with Coastal Cabana ink pad, Basic Gray ink pad and an Aqua Painter.

I created a frame using a Basic Gray marker and the random dots with the Basic Gray

and Coastal cabana marker.

I placed the layer on top of the card base to see the area I need to add the sentiment and color the background. Removed the layer and heat embossed the sentiment with black embossing powder then colored the area with Coastal Cabana over top of the sentiment.

Used dimensionals to place the layer onto front of the card base.

(Inside: black embossed)

Love how this turned out....great dimension.

U S A ...... celebrate today!!!

Let's celebrate 'cause we are having a hop!!!!

I tried to do the traditional red, white and blue colors......

but I just couldn't wrap my head around a design.

But I did stay with the USA theme.

The new poly stamp set called "Calling all Heroes" was callin' ME!!!!

I wanted it to look more spectacular than just a simple card sooooooo....

............. I made an easel card.

Deets of some of the items on the card:

I used watercolor paper to create the sunset sky with Real Red and So Saffron using my water brush.

White embossed the stars on So Saffron card stock and fussy cut them out. Used a small piece of window sheet to help the stars stay in the sky.

Stamped the skyline with Basic Gray and fussy cut it out.

The "USA" stars were simply stamped and then fussy cut.

Added some dimensionals to the stars create the "stop" for the easel.

Added a sentiment from a hostess set....called "Life's Adventure"

In case you get blinded by all the spectacular creations you can get back on

track with the list below.

June Blog Hop

Glad that you could join us for this months hop.

You will lots of new and exciting things.

I don't have any new products to show you, but I have a new technique that

I'm sure you will love to learn how to do.

Can you guess from the pic what the technique is???

Well, can ya????

Hmmmmmmmm.......

That isn't DSP you are looking at.

I created it with a new tecky idea called Bandana stamping.

I {heart} this new tecky.

Here are the deets:

I chose Coastal Cabana card stock.

Used Coastal Cabana classic ink and chose a line design stamp from

Mosaic Madness and stamped randomly.

Then I chose a few more stamps from the same set and

stamped them with Black Staz-On, again randomly.

Using a Signo white gel pen, I added some dots and lines....and

waaa-laaaa I have a bandana.

It would be hard to wear this bandana so I made a card instead.....Bwahahahahahahahaha!

I stamped the chair from The Great Outdoors using Baked Brown Sugar ink and then stamped the

sentiment from Really Good Greetings with Coastal Cabana ink.

I made the bow with the 3/4" punch and the bird punch (trimmed a little).

Hope you liked this new tecky idea!!!!

I know I will be using it again and again.!!!!

Here are the list of blogs for more great ideas!!!

Spring & hop......spring & hop!!!

I love spring time....everything is fresh and new.

Everything comes alive and blossoms.

Can you guess I made a springtime card?

Yep, my Mama passed away in 1984 and she is missed dearly!!!!

I digress.....back to my card.

I wanted to use Gingham Garden DSP because it just screams SPRING to me.

You are seeing front and back of the same piece of DSP....is that not delightful.

I also used So Saffron card stock for a layer and I distressed it.

I stamped the coffee cup from Perfect Blend (The cup is two pieces....I stamped the lid section and flipped it upside down to create the inside of the cup with water in it), the flower from Happy Watercolors and

the greeting from Really Good Greetings clear stamp set with Black Staz-on.

I colored all the images (very lightly) using the ink pads: Baked Brown Sugar and

Strawberry Slush and my aqua painter.

I love how this turned out...it reminds me of
when my kids were little
and they would bring me the first flower (or weed) they found outside and I
would always take it to work and put it on my desk in my office.
Most of the time I didn't have a vase so I would just use a coffee cup.
It was more gorgeous than even the most beautiful bouquets
from a high end florist.

Here is the list of beautiful flowers you need to see in this hop
in case you get lost. I'm the caboose, but you may want
to go back and see them again....right?
