Searching....

Been looking and reading many, many blogs [louise emily ala pause Connie Babbert]... a few have caught my fancy... left a few msgs... Looking for SU stamps, finally found out what SU was [heee], dang was it like time consuming! Anyhoo, downloaded the Stampin' Up Catalogue... Now I need to find where to freaken' purchase all those goodies from! OMG! totally fun! These suckers will be used for stamping my clay... oooh goodies...

Still haven't used my really expensive cutter... Want to use the diamond tip on engravings, soon... Can't wait... But I'm all over the place... Damn, woman that I am... Geeze-louise! OOh, saw some free templates [which come with my cutter's software but still] worth it @ MirkWoodDesigns [flower card]. All thanks to the Mel Stampz blog post.

Haven't really done much today except look and look, watch videos... OOh, learned how to make a pastry bag and pansies from Martha Stewart! :) Oh, the cute umbrellas are great... Watched a few cake making and icing decorations videos, too... Gots to get on the claying and make some of those pretty cakes in miniature size!

Reading about how to care for your stamps @ BlockHeads via MelStampz:CheapTricks. saw this on a forum "DIY faux-stitching Template & Middle-sized Mirkwood flower" it's not the first time I came by it... :) She also, talked about ATG gun which had to google it to find out what it was and it reminds me of the tape gun [much bigger] that my bf has to tape boxes... That is a nice baby to have... :) I wonder where to get my hands on one. that'll be another 2-3hr search...



Found a distributor of 3M Scotch tape called NHS but don't know for sure if they sell to the public or to companies... Need to call them... :) Sweet they ship to CANADA! Nice! Sometimes those are the downfalls of living here and not following the fam down under... heee...

I also found a place to buy Shrink film... Had found a place but they only sale to big companies... :( bwaaa, I wanna cry... I wanted to buy that big-ass roll!! Want to start using it... Apparently Wal-Mart may have it... I'm going shopping soon... heee...

Crap, need to find that Origami book I got in SanFran... :)

Things to remember:
Scor Pal $39.95


Get me some Reinkers from SU! :) There's also this site A1 Stamps, I love this "A Woman Owned/Operated Business!"

Flower Tutorial

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

1. Materials you'll need:


* Punches
* Paper [color or white]
* brushes
* Gloss Varnish
* Pearl-Ex Powders [your choice of colors]
* Fine Glitter [optional]
* Containers [for varnish n water]
* Cardboard [for protection]

2. Set up your work area


3. Add varnish to containers and would be good to have some water and some paper towels for blotting brushes... :)


4. add pearl-ex powders and glitter to varnish


5. Mix very well...


6. Brush on paper let dry...


7. Apply as many coats as you wish. I usually apply 5-10, depends on how thick you want. If you don't want to apply to many you can use a little bit of acrylic paints to it. Always dry between applications.


8. Once dried, now you are ready to use your punches... :)
