Welcome to our first of many Guest Designers for So Suzy Stamps! There are so many fabulous designers out there using our stamps and I thought it would be fun to spice it up a bit and introduce you to a few people out there who would enjoy nothing more than to share their love of So Suzy Stamps with you!
Our first Guest Designer is Karen Hasheck from Karen's Kreative Kards Blog and she is going to be showing you how to make a couple of fun cards using our Moon Fairy and Believe stamps!
I chose to design with Suzy's Moon Fairy and Believe stamps. To
make the card above, I heat embossed both stamps with black embossing powder on
watercolor paper. Then I sprinkled yellow and turquoise Brusho Colour Crystals
on the watercolor paper and spritzed with water. The water activates the color
crystals and the colorful background is the result. I cut the piece to 5"
x 3 3/4" and layered on a yellow piece and then onto a black A2 card base.
I added a couple punched stars (Tonic punch) to complete the card.
I was having way to much fun with So Suzy's beautiful stamps to
stop at just one card! I masked off 4 edges of a white card front with
temporary tape and sponged several shades of blue Distress Ink in the center
rectangle. After I removed the temporary tape, I simply stamped the Moon Fairy
and Believe with black Archival Ink from Ranger, added a couple sequins and
layered onto a black card base.
Here
is a link to a few more cards I have designed with So Suzy Stamps. I
highly recommend you go to the So
Suzy Stamps website and check out her whole line of stamps and other
products.
I
discovered stamping in the spring of 1999 and have been totally addicted to
this awesome hobby ever since. I am recently retired and am having so much fun
sharing card making ideas on my blog almost every day and in classes I teach in
my home. I am a frequently published author of articles about stamping in Scrap
and Stamp Arts and on line stamping magazines, and have had hundreds of my
cards published as well. I am on several design teams including a charitable
blog I own called Send
a Smile 4 Kids where we collect and distribute handmade cards for children
inpatient in 14 children’s hospitals.
Beautiful cards! The background goes so well with this beautiful stamp! They are just dreamy!
