How to Color Jumbo 5/8" Brads
These brads are really easy to color with any of Stampin' Up!s Craft Inks. All I did was take the brad and smoosh it into the craft pad (get a good coverage) then immediately dip into the Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder, using the tweezers from the tool kit to hold the brad while you heat with the Stampin' Up! heat gun to melt the E/P. You may emboss the brad a couple times if it seems like it needs more.
I am also submitting this card in the Late Nite Stampers challenge #7 for use of "one die and one punch".
Other products used were; Pink Flamingo DSP, Whisper White Card Stock, Apricot Appeal , Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Summer Sun Classic Inks, Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon, Sizzix Texture Pad (w/ Real Red), Top Note Die and the largest circle punch (1 3/4"), Thank You Individual Samp and the Embrace Life Stamp Set

This is one of the papers from the Flamingo DSP and I used the Flower #2 die from Sizzix to make several layers, sponged with Summer Sun and Almost Apricot, used a Build-a-Brad for the center and used 2-Way Glue Pen to highlight and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds also used Apricot and White 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbons

Stamp Camp ~ New Catalog Kickoff
These are the five projects that were made during last weekends Stamp Camp. They completed 2 cards, 1 accordian card, 1 vase decorated with vinyl, tag and filled with kisses, and a tumbled marble tile decorated with a two step stamp "A Rose is a Rose" and Classic Inks. Everyone loved how nice it all turned out. The following is a photo of the inside of the accordian card.
Inked Texture Plates
I inked the Sizzix texture plate with Pretty in Pink Classic Ink then topped it with a piece of Pink Pirouette Cardstock finishing the sandwich off with the silicone mat and ran it through the Big Shot machine. I love the effect that the ink and the plates have on the cardstock! I also used the Tea Party DSP and the Stem Sayings Stamp Set.
Movers and Shapers Diecut Card
I used the new Stampin' Up! Movers and Shapers die to make this card. The window was from a die I already owned, but the die was used to place the movable window in and cut out the card. I then used textured Bashful Blue cardstock to back the window after applying the bird and branches that I had cut out with the extra long sizzlet. It turned out better than I had expected for my first attempt. Now I'm off to play with some vinyl and the Big Shot.
Since this is Valentine's Day, I thought I would post a photo of this year's mailbox. I found them at Target in the dollar bins. They are a metallic pink that matched real well with the Raspberry Tart DSP, which is what I used to cover the box then used the Big Shot and cut out several layers of different sizes and colors of hearts and adhered to the box. I thought it turned out quite nice.
