{ The Crafter’s Workshop/Balzer Designs Blog Hop }

Hi and welcome to our blog hop.

Today I am sharing two projects I created using stencils and matching stamps.

Each stamp set works independently.
Each stencil works independently.
Each stencil has a matching stamp set.  Each stamp set has a matching stencil.  And they work together.

Here is my card.

For the card I stamped the butterflies, from the Butterflies stamp set, first and then used the stencil to spray Caramel Latte Smooch Spritz. The sentiment is from All Occasion II stamp set.

Here is the layout.

For the layout, I stamped Circles stamp using Banana Custard Pigment Ink. Then, I positioned the stencil over the stamped area and sprayed using Sea Kiss Smooch Spritz.

The chevron, from Tickets stamp set, was stamped, first, using Charcoal Chalk ink. I used the stencil over the stamped image and a stylus with a foam tip to apply Pink Sky Chalk Ink. The ink goes on really smooth with the foam tip applicator.

I stamped one of the tickets using Charcoal Chalk Ink and cut it out. The numbers, from the Tickets stamp set, are stamped using Banana Custard Pigment Ink.

Please visit all the blogs today and leave a comment for a chance to win all 6 stamps and matching stencils in this series.

{ June Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop }

Welcome to our June Studio AE Blog Hop.

Today we are featuring projects made with the Studio AE - Life Right Now by Ali Edwards - June 2012 (starts shipping June 10th).

Here is my layout.

I first saw the phrase in this print and then found out it’s a name of a song from a musical Oklahoma! I cut the phrase with my Silhouette Cameo. I adhered pink cardstock behind the cut.

The flowers are from Thankfully – The Elements by Polka Dot Pixels Digital kit. I traced them in Silhouette Studio and cut them out with the Cameo. The flowers are painted with watercolor crayons.

The phrases from the stamp set are stamped on white cardstock and cut out. I painted them with watercolor crayons.

The butterfly is from Take Flight stamp set. I stamped two, painted them with watercolor crayons and adhered them to the page using Zots Adhesive Dots by Therm O Web.  The background is sprayed with Smooch Spritz.

Make sure you check out all the blogs because we are giving away a $25.00 gift certificate to Technique Tuesday. That means you can get anything you want. The winner will be announced on the Technique Tuesday Blog on June 13th.

{ Technique Tuesday June Studio AE }

Hello June! Time for our June Studio AE stamp set called Life Right Now. I love this set. Love the words, love the font.

Here is a layout I created with the set.

I created the circles in my Silhouette Studio and cut them with my Cameo. Did I mention I love my Cameo? I recently updated to the Designer Edition and I love it even more.

The sentiments are stamped with ColorBox Mix’d Media Inx in Denim and heat embossed with the same color. I cut out the sentiments.

Be on a lookout for more creations from our Design Team.
