Tarheel Stamper - Reinker Techniques - Custom Ink Pad

Click on photo for larger view.

I have shared two tutorial videos on reinker techniques on YouTube on my TarheelStamper channel and also embedded at the end of this post.  I show some variations of reinker techniques.  I am sharing a card today with the custom ink pad technique.  Of course you can use your reinkers for inking your pads, but there are so many techniques out there to try.

The card stock is Stampin' Up! Glossy White, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight card stock.  Stamp set is Circle Circus.  Basic Rhinestones are used in the center of the flower and the flowers in the Lace Ribbon Punch.  The butterflies are made with the Embosslit Beautiful Wings die. Punches used are Curly Label, 5 Petal Flower, Lace Ribbon Border, Fancy Flower, and one from the Itty Bitty Punches Pack. Color of reinkers are Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, and Melon Mambo.  I thought these colors represent sunny, bright days like we are having this summer.  It reminds me of happy times.  Hope you enjoy the card and videos.  I will be sharing other cards with the other pieces shown soon.

Below is the piece I used on the card.

Tarheel Stamper - Shaving Cupcake

Have you seen the Dairy Queen commercial with the shaving bunnies.   I thought it was strange and funny.  LOL  I used a faux shaving cream technique for this card.  So that is why I put shaving cupcake for the title.

This card is for one of my "daughters" birthday.  I loved making the accent strip for this card.  It is so easy and cleans up quickly.  I have added a video on my You Tube channel - Tarheel Stamper on how to do the faux shaving cream technique with Stampin' Up!'s Clear-Mount acrylic blocks. I used the largest one we sell. The video is embeded in this post at the end of the supplies list.   This was so much fun and not as messy as the original shaving cream technique, which by the way is gorgeous.

Tarheel Stamper - First Video - Sizzix Pillow Box Die Tips

I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted.  Almost one month without a post is too long!  I was very busy with wedding preparations for our oldest son and now daughter("in-law")!  Yahoo they were married Saturday March 12th.  I made the decorations for a shower, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding reception.  I had some great help from my other daughter("in-law"), my sister, and the bride's sister.  I am so thankful they helped me last week or I would never had gotten all the wedding things finished.  I will share pictures in the future, but I don't have my camera with me at the moment. 

My sweet aunt passed away early Thursday morning and we buried her yesterday.  So my past week has been a roller coaster of emotions.  The family was so kind to schedule family visitation and the funeral services for Sunday and Monday so the wedding could go on and my mother (her sister passed away) could attend the wedding.  The wedding was wonderful and some of the family told me it was a nice and needed diversion from the pain of losing a grandparent and mother-in-law.  I am thankful to know that she is with loved ones and the Lord in Heaven now. 

On to the video and enough of the personal life things for today.  I was making pillow box favors or the wedding rehearsal dinner and wanted to use each piece of card stock for as many pillow boxes as possible.  The video shows you how to get 4 out of one piece of card stock.  I wanted to see if I could make a video.  Please don't laugh too hard.  LOL ;-)  I hope you can get some tips out of this video.  I show the pillow box and some other tips I have learned about using the Sizzix.  I hope to make more in the future.  I used the Sixxix pillow box die from Stampin' Up!  It is so easy to make cute boxes with this.  I put 4 Robin Egg candies in each box.  The theme of the wedding was love birds.  The video is below and also on YouTube.  I have a channel titled Tarheel Stamper. 

Anyway  I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for reading all this!
