Sizzix Pro Cuts and C.C. Designs

Hi Everyone. I’m Stephanie and this is my first post to Stamping Scrapping. I’m excited to be here and to share my project with you.

Did you know that Stamping Scrapping has the wonderful Sizzix Pro? This is a die cut system that has all of these wonderful dies, you order which item you want, Cindy runs it through the machine and it comes to you all ready to be assembled. You have your choice of color and she uses a heavy, pearlescent paper that is suitable for sanding. There is also a discount for multiple items! For my bag I chose the Bag with Heart Handles. My image is the cute little Heidi from C.C. Designs. I used copics to color her and placed her on a bed of flower soft. I used Prima fairytale roses. On the other side of the bag I used my Just Rite stamper and the flower stamp from the Thinking of You large oval set. I really like the Just Rite stamper and now they have clear acrylic stamps and stamp holders so you can see where you are stamping. Cindy has them up for pre-order here but be careful, once you use them you will be hooked!!

Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central- Wedding Challenge

Hello everyone, I am pleased to be posting my first project for the exciting new challenge blog- Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central! One reason I am so excited about this new challenge blog is that it allows you to use a variety of stamps and other products, it's not product specific like some challenges (which I love too, don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of all kinds of challenges). The first challenge is to create a wedding project. I decided to mix and match all kinds of stamps in this project. The more the merrier, right?

The background of this stamp is Romantic Sunset from the new Magnolia wedding collection. I did the sunset part with my copic airbrush using y35, y32, and YR 16. After I airbrushed all the colors on, I put my blender pen in the airbrush and sprayed a little of that over it as well. To do the cloud, I just used the blender pen to take the color away. The little couple that I used for the wedding couple is actually Spring Couple from CC Designs. I think this stamp is absolutely adorable! For this card I have dressed Emma up a little bit by adding pearls and stickles to her dress, but they could be made to look more casual as well. The sentiment for the card is from Bildmalarna and is part of their new wedding release. Now, what beach wedding would be complete without the sand? This is one of my favorite new products- Mudpuddles. It comes in a little jar kind of like flock or flowersoft and you spread it on your card or layout and let it dry you don't need any kind of adhesive. It dries and stays on the project perfectly- no chipping or flaking off. I love it!!!!!
It's much easier than trying to use glue and real sand-
I know I've tried that before.
