I used the  stamp set called Hello Blossoms along with the Brand new embossing  powder in  Fabulous colors

• Melon Mambo
• Tangerine Tango
• Wild Wasabi

Yes !! Embossing powder in color ..LOVE IT!!

I used all 3 clors in my card today with the main image.

I lightly sprinkled each color on one at a time  over the Versa Mark image making sure to tap off  remaining embossing powder before   you  continue  to the next color to avoid mixing them together.

I also added  some Pompom Trim in Melon Mambo # 123322

The base card  is Wild Wasabi card stock # 108641 which I stamped the same  image  on the back gound with Versa Mark  ink pad #102283 and then used the Wild Wasabi  embossing powder  again,  

  You can see the shine  from the embossing powder alittle better in the 2nd photo.

I used the 1/2" Circle punch #119869  to punch out the Hello Letters  and popped them up on Dimensionals # 104430.

Used the Photo Corners punch # 119878  with Melon Mambo card stock .Then added  a  Basic Rhinestone#119246 in each of the  photo  corners  for sparkle

Measurements  for the center layer :

• Whisper  White  3 1/8" x  2 1/4"
• Tangerine Tango  3 3/8" x  2 1/2"
• Wild Wasabi  3 5/8" x  2 3/4"

Computer issues ..

Hi Stampers :

I am so sorry   to report my Computer is in the shop and being worked on . 

They told me this could take 2-3 weeks to find out what's going on with it ..( could not get it to turn on this morning)  and since everything is on that computer ( video editing program/ photoshop etc...)  I will try  uploading projects /samples from my laptop which isn't the best ...

Thank you for your patience.

Please email me at stampingtilldawn@yahoo.com if  you need  to contact me .

I have heard  from some of you  re: my blog uploading really weird Typepad  has told me that it may be your browzer and you  should update  that and hopefully that will fix the problem ..

Typepad  used Firefox /Safari/ and IE ( Internet Explorer) to test my blog and they said there is nothing wrong ..

I will still keep you posted  and let  you know if I find anything else out ..

So sorry friends :(

Super cute owl ...

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Tuesday Friends !

Here is a swap I recieved  from  Mary  Rager .. Oh my goodness this is the cuttest owl I have ever  seen .

She used the matchbox die # 114890  which is what  the Top Note die #113463  and owl are  formed around

I am guessing on what else she used ...so here it  goes

• 2- step bird punch #117191 ( ears)
• Heart to Heart punch # 119881 ( feet & nose )
• 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch #119854  (3 for  breast of owl)  
• 1 3/8" Circle punch #119863 ( Baja Breeze /eyes )
• 1" Circle punch #119868  ( black / eyes )

Not sure what she used for the 2" circle  whisper white  for eyes

Hope this helps

Have a Terrific Tuesday friends

Until later... Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers : Happy Sunday Friends !

I was wanting to film Jessie  while she removed my Shellac  nails BUT I got the  dreaded "Mother"  so instead I snaped these photos  to  show  you a little  bit of the process this past Friday 4-8-2011 .

Jessie had me  soak my  fingers in Pure acetone   I am not really even sure it was a whole 10 Mins  it seemed  to go by very quickly . anyway

Then this is what Happened ... Eeeekkkk not  to pretty any more huh? 

Once Jessie  finished  cleaning my nails  this was all that was left of my French manicure .

I had purchased  the Purple Royalty CND Shellac nail polish  the last time I went to Salon Centric aka Malys  so I took that with me  to have her put  that on my nails since I didn't remember seeing a purple the  last time I was at Jessie's school  .. LOVE IT!

The color matches my jacket perfectly :) How cool is that ..

Plus look Bowzer got his nails painted too by Jessie, He didnt want to feel left out ya know   LOL!!!

No shellac  for Bowzer  though ~  after seeing this photo Gee Whiz I   need  to cut his nails poor baby   :(

Here is My Sunday Share video for you ..

 This is the cutest video it will make u smile today :)

 

Have a Fabulous Sunday !!

Until later... Happy Stampin!

My Shellac Nails update :

Hi Stampers :

 As of 2 days ago ( Tuesday April 4, 2011 )  I have offically  had Shellac on my nails for  (14 ) days .

Unbelievable  is what comes to my mind .

Holy Moly   No chip's ~No peeling ~ still glossy  too .

I took this  photo of my nails on Tuesday aka Day 14 .

The only  thing I have noticed is that my nails are growing much faster -vs- the Shellac to come off ( which is a good thing ) .  I have new growth showing under the french manicure and also at the cuticle line .

BUT  other then that they still look  great.  I think   in the future  10-11 days is when I will redo mine  since I think 14 days is alittle  to long for a French Manicure ( shows new growth to much )  .

I will be trying a  solid color called "Rock Royality" its purple ( Yahoo!)   and I think it will be  alot better looking after the 10+ days

As of today  Thursday I still haven't removed  the Shellac  but will be doing so this morning .

Removing Shellac  is at least a 10 min process you  will need  to soak  your nails in Acetone Nail polish remover  and then  from there I have no clue ( Jessie  will be doing that )

 Jessie said the Shellac  will either peel off or  you  need a orange wood stick to scrape if off after you soak them for 10 mins in Acetone  polish remover  .

Now I will be attempting to do Shellac on my nails myself 

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

 

Fun Flowers for Mother

Used Crumb Cakecard stock#120953  for the base  part of the card  then layered  Early Espresso#119686 on top of  that .

For the Beautiful  fun flower  I used Very Vanilla  card stock #101650 

The  greeting "Happy Mothers Day " is from the  Teeny Tiny Wishes  stamp set #115370

P.S I have only ( 1 ) stamping video for you this week which will be posted this Friday.

 

Have a Fabulous Day friends
