Where Has Summer Gone!

I cannot believe that it is already August 20th!! Where has the summer gone??? It seems like each year goes by faster and faster. It's a good thing I love Fall so much, it is less depressing to know we're headed into my favorite season.

The Stampendous design team is featuring Dreamweaver Stencils this week with a theme of Dreamweaver Double. We can interpret that however we want, so today I'm using not just two stencils (for a double, get it!), but three great stencil in my "Ode to a Summer Birthday".

The design team members were fortunate to receive a box of wonderful products from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko a while back. Their inks are fabulous to work with and the colors are gorgeous!


The Neon inks just screamed summer to me, so I decided to start with those, but how to choose which colors, hmmm.  All of them, of course! LX7011 Big Dots was the perfect starting place, all of them fit!

"Ode to a Summer Birthday"
Steps:
  • Tape stencil to white cardstock with removable tape
  • Place a piece of removable tape on the column next to the first column (yellow)
  • Use a 1/2" stencil brush to apply the first color down the first column
  • Remove the tape from the second column and move it over to the third column
  • Place a piece of removable tape over the column just colored
  • Color the next column
  • Keep moving the two pieces of tape over until you have all the colors!
  • Clean stencil
  • The colors are called Radiant Neon Electric Yellow, E. Orange, E. Coral, E. Pink, E. Purple, E. Blue, E. Green
  • Tape the Tiger slippahs (LM246) to white cardstock, use 1/4" stencil brushes and the Picasso (LL332) to apply color
  • Cut them out leaving a small white edge around
  • Mount them on Bazzill Limeade cardstock, and cut around them again leaving a small green edge
  • Color the happy birthday (LM248) with some of the colors
  • Layer on a mat of Limeade and Pink
  • Mat the dots on Limeade and Pink also
  • Use foam tape to add the sentiment and sandals

Happy Birthday Week 5!

Yup, that's right, January has 5 Thursdays! That means you get an extra bonus set of Birthday ideas from our Dreamweaver Design Team! We'd love for you to play along with us, and link your creations to the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post, or on the Dream It Up! blog, for a chance to win the stencil of your choice...and remember, using Dreamweaver products gets you bonus points towards an extra stencil!
I'm back in Cincinnati this week playing with my grandkids, but here's what I created for my birthday wish this week:

Chunky Art Tools - LG761, Splats - LJ801, happy birthday - LM248

This would be a great card for a child, or your artistic friends! It's easy to make too! 
  • Paste emboss the NEW Chunky Art Tools (LG761) stencil with Regular Embossing Paste, let dry
  • Put your clean, dry stencil back over the dry paste and add color using  small stencil brushes and inks (I used Memento)
  • Cut out the paint brush, mount on black and cut out again
  • Dry emboss the Splats (LJ801) stencil on white cardstock
  • Leave the stencil in place and add color with stencil brushes
  • Place the happy birthday (LM248) stencil on white cardstock and ink with red ink, add a few splats too!
  • Mount the happy birthday and Splats on a black mat
  • Assemble into a fun, colorful card!
