Happy New Year!

2013 is now upon us and we can look ahead to new beginnings as we leave 2012 behind. I am starting a Memory Jar this year where (hopefully) my family will write little notes, memories, successes and challenges they face throughout the year onto slips of paper and place them into the jar.  Over the holiday season next year, or even possibly New Year's Eve, we will empty the jar and read these snippets and reflect on 2013.


To make the tag on this jar, I primarily used products from the upcoming Seasonal Catalogue, which most of you will have received in your mailbox already.  If you haven't received one, and would like to be on my mailing list, let me know!  These products will be available beginning Thursday January 3rd (which also means that tomorrow is the late chance to get any of your favourites from the Holiday Seasonal catalogue).

Also, to celebrate the New Year, Stampin' Up has released a digital freebie; it's a Calendar Kit - get it here.  Happy 2013!!

Collage stamping - technique swap

I recently hosted a technique swap amongst fellow demonstrators and included the card below as the 'Collage Stamping' technique.  I learned so many new techniques that I can't wait to share with you!

To do the Collage Stamping technique, I took my Whisper White piece and started with the lightest colour and the Travel Journal builder wheel and ran it over the paper a few times to create the hint of 'words' as a background.

Then I took the Music Notes wheel and inked it up with Crumb Cake and half ran it across the paper in a couple spots, allowing the ink to be darker in some spots and lighter as the colour wore off the stamp.  I didn't re-ink it until I moved to the next card, just to create some dimension. 




I also stamped randomly a couple of the small elements from the Tiny Tags set in Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade.  I added the 'celebrate' postmark stamp from the Priority Mail hostess set and then the flower from Mixed Bunch in Elegant Eggplant.  Since the flower was so bold with that ink, I actually used a second generation image to soften the ink a little.




Supplies used:
Stamp sets:  Tiny Tags, Mixed Bunch, Priority Mail (Hostess), You're Amazing (the Happy Birthday is also available as a Single Stamp)
Stamp wheels: Travel Journal Builder, Music Notes 
Ink: River Rock, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant
Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Elegant Eggplant
Embellishments: Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Silver Mini Brads, Bitty Buttons 
Other: Apothecary Accents Framelits, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder
