Hello Friends,

Have you tried the Eclipse Technique? The Large Letter dies are perfect for doing this card making technique.  Sadly, the Large Letter Dies landed on the Stampin'  Up! Retirement list which means that they are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.  Scoop them up before they are gone for good.  I have 5 cards plus a video tutorial to show you today using the Large Letter dies and the Eclipse Technique.

Learn How to Do the Eclipse Technique.  You'll be glad you did.  The card in the video was made with the retiring Hedgehugs stamp set.

Here's a Side view.

Here an Eclipse Card made with the Large Letter Dies and the retiring Ready for Christmas stamp set.  Find out more.

 
It's also fun to personalize cards with a name using the Large letter dies.  Get the Full Scoop. 

Animal Outings and Large Letter dies make a fabulous name placard.  See More.

Only one stamp set from today's 5 Cards is carrying over to the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Catalog.  That's the Animal Outings stamp set.  The other stamp sets are going away.

Hello Friends,

If you are looking for a Wow Technique that's simple to do, try the Eclipse Card Making Technique the next time you make a card. It's a technique that's sure to impress your friends and family.  For today's Easter Card I used the Bloom by Bloom stamp set and the Cross of Hope Framelits Dies.  In the past, I've used word dies, alphabet dies, number dies and punches to do the Eclipse Card Making Technique.  Learn more about this easy technique in this video tutorial that I made last year.  

I love the bright spring flowers with the inlaid cross.  Its such a bright cheerful combination for an Easter Card.  I used Pineapple Punch, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, and Calypso Coral Inks to make today's card.

Hello Friends,

This is first time for me to ink up my Home to Roost stamp set.  I know that the colors of my rooster are probably outrageous, but after what I saw yesterday, anything is possible.  Besides, I think he looks handsome and I had fun coloring him.

You can imagine how perplexed I was when I saw this guy meandering across my yard yesterday afternoon.  I live in Ohio and it was only 30 something yesterday.  Who knew that peacocks could adapt so well.  For being so proud, this guy sure did not want his picture taken.  I followed him all over my yard before I was able to capture this shot of him.

I watercolored my handsome rooster with a wide array of colors.  The blues are Pacific Point, Blueberry Bushel and Night of Navy.  For the greens, I used Old Olive and Mossy Meadow inks.  His comb was colored with Poppy Parade.

When I think of roosters, I think sunrise and loud Cock-a-doodle-doing, so I sponged a sunrise with So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Balmy Blue inks.

Did I mention that the Home to Roost stamp set is available for Free during Sale-a-bration (now through March 3, 2019) with a qualifying purchase?

Have a fabulous day,
