A New Series - Tips For Tuesday - How to Refill Your Stampin' Write Markers

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! I really hope you're off to a great start where ever you happen to be.

Today, I want to introduce you to my new weekly series; Tips for Tuesday. It is where I will answer your questions regarding products and how to's. So, please feel free to continue to send me your questions and I will get them answered each Tuesday.

For our first Tip for Tuesday, I want to explain how to refill your Stampin' Write Markers. To begin, you will need to gather up a few supplies. You will need your marker that you would like to refill; the coordinating bottle of reinker; a pair of tweezers; and a bowl or container.

You will start by pulling the brush tip from the marker barrel using the pair of tweezers ( this is the end indicated by the thick white band going around the marker barrel). Just pull straight up and out. Place the brush nib into the container and drop a couple of drops of reinker directly onto the brush nib; then squeeze a couple of drops down into the barrel of the marker and tamp down slightly onto the table to move the ink down the barrel. Once the ink has been absorbed into your brush nib, pick it back up with your tweezers and place it firmly but gently back into the marker barrel until it is firmly seated. Your marker is ready to use again.

I hope you found this helpful and again, keep the questions coming and I will get them answered for you each Tuesday. In the meantime, Happy Stamping!

Colorful Seasons - Thinking of You

Good Morning and happy Tuesday! Wow, can you believe June is almost over? It seems like it has just begun but here we are, in the final week! Anyway, I know for many of you, it has been pretty busy with graduations and graduation parties to attend. This year, I have only one so far, although, I'm sure there will be more grad parties to come.
Today, I want to share with you a cute card I put together using the Colorful Seasons Bundle. I love this bundle because it can be used all year round and has some really amazing images. And I just adore the Adirondack style chair thinlit! (Yes, I have a pair of the real thing sitting on my front porch!)

Directions:

To create this card, I used the Thick Whisper White cardstock, cut 4.25" x 11" scored and folded at 5.5". I stamped the sentiment in Dapper Denim ink at the bottom of a piece of Whisper White cut 4" x 5.25" and adhered a piece of the Color Theory paper trimmed 1" x 4" (I just trimmed off a strip from the Ombre Berry Burst piece using the lightest shade). I then cut a piece from the Dapper Denim "crackle" piece 2.25" x 3.25" and adhered that at an angle. I cut a piece of Berry Burst cardstock 2.25" square and ran it through the Big Shot with the Seaside TIEF and layered it onto the card. I then ran the Adirondack chair Thinlit through the Big Shot with a piece of Dapper Denim and added that to the card front using the mini Stampin' Dimensionals. These are the perfect size to fit in the widest part of the chair arms and legs. To finish the card off, I added 3 shades of the Berry Burst Glitter Enamel Dots, these are self adhesive and add a bit of charm to the card.

(See below for a complete list of supplies used)

I hope you enjoyed today's card. Feel free to leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts; and if you have any questions, please feel free to fire away.

Happy Stamping,

Katrina

We Love Our Hosts Blog Tour

Hi there and welcome to our June 2017 blog tour. Our theme today is, "We Love Our Hosts". And boy do we ever love these host sets! You may be just getting started on the hop here on my blog, Stampin' n Scrappin' From the Heart with me, Katrina Wolfe, or you may have made your way from a link in the previous blog in the list, either way, if at any time you get off track, the full list is below and will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the wonderful projects. Currently, you are visiting Katrina Wolfe.

Today, I chose to share with you my favorite host set, Tranquil Tulips. I did use the sentiment from my other favorite host set, Background Bits and of course I used new In-colors as I just can't get enough of these colors. They are just so yummy I can't stand it!

I love the watercolor look of this stamp set. I also played with the embossing paste in this card, which is also a fun medium to work with and it provides a lot of texture to your card without a lot of work. When I cut out my image using the Layering Circle Framelits, I first figured out where my circle would "end" and I trimmed out my stem and laid that over the top of the framelit and then ran the image through the Big Shot. It's a pretty cool technique. I then added the circle to my card front right over the embossing paste using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thanks for taking part in our blog tour, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss. Remember, you are currently on my blog - Katrina Wolfe, so check the blog tour line up below to see who is next up on the list.

Happy Stamping,

Katrina Wolfe

Balloon Adventure Pop Up Card

Hey guys, long time no see! I completely missed my Tuesday post, oh what a day that was! You know those alarm clocks with dual alarms...yeah, those ones! Well, I accidentally turned on the wrong alarm Monday night and needless to say, Tuesday morning I over-slept! I turned on my husbands "I worked a double shift, got home at 8am and need to get up and back out the door for the next shift" alarm which is set to go off at noon instead of my alarm that is set to go off at 4am. No, I didn't sleep until noon, but I did not get up until 6:45am (I should have been pulling into the hospital parking lot at that hour!)So needless to say, I was all messed up all day. I think the lack of coffee and the high speed in which my day took off, totally threw me off my game. So, as a result, I never made my way to my blog. Hopefully, it is worth the wait as I created this card by casing the new Occasions catalog. I just love this catalog and I love this set. It makes birthday celebrations so fun!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Balloon Adventures
Paper: Crushed Curry 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"; Party Animal DSP cut 5 1/4" x 2 1/2"; Whisper White cut 3 3/4" square and another piece cut 8 1/4" x 5 1/4" scored and folded at 4 1/8" (this is for the inside pop up) Scraps of Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point and Emerald Envy.
Ink: Pacific Point; Crushed Curry; Tangerine Tango; Emerald Envy
Misc: Emerald Envy 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits; Big Shot; Stampin' Dimensionals; Fast Fuse

Directions:
Adhere the DSP to the center of the card base, stamp the sentiment onto the Whisper White 3 3/4" square with Pacific Point ink, add the party confetti image using Crushed Curry to the bottom of the piece and stamp the balloon and string using the Tangerine Tango. Using the Striped Balloon thinlit, run a scrap piece of Tangerine Tango through the Big Shot and adhere this piece over the stamped Balloon image. Wrap the card base with the Emerald Envy Taffeta Ribbon and adhere the Stamped piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.
For the inside, Take the folded Whisper White piece and open it up, align the Balloon pop up thinlit arrow up on the fold mark and run through the Big Shot. This will create the pop up. Now, stamp the balloons lining up the stamp to the die cut images. I did Emerald Envy, Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point. Then cut a polka dot and a stripped balloon from scraps of Emerald Envy and Pacific Point cardstock and adhere them to the corresponding balloon. Stamp the banner and sentiment with Tangerine Tango ink. Adhere this piece to the inside of the card and attach the 2 1/8" square DSP pieces to the bottom of each Whisper White panel as shown in the photo below.
