Chalk Marker Stamping

Hello dear crafting friends,

Thank you for joining me today,  I love to learn new techniques, polish up on old favorites, and be inspired by the creativity of designers from around the crafting world, and today I am going to share with you a new technique using chalk markers.

Look at this beautiful bright almost florescent card isn't it beautiful? 

This is using the Swallowtail Stamp.

This other one is using the Flower Patch Stamp set.

I used the new chalk markers from Chalk Ola, they come in 5.5 mm and 15mm, I used the 15mm, because of their large tip they work great for this project.

Tea Box

Hello friends!

I have been having so much fun with the "A Nice Cuppa" stamp set and coordinating framilits and papers that I decided to make another little box.

These are the supplies I used:

·         A Nice Cuppa stamp set #140683

·         Cups and Kettles framelits dies #140624 or Bundle & save 15% #141074

·         Enamel Dots #140554

·         Delightful Dijon ink pad #138327

·         Scallop Oval Punch #119856

·         Small flower from the Itty Bitty Acc3nts Punch Pack #133787

Measurements:

Base Card stock of your choice 10" x 8.5"

Designer paper of your choice 2 pieces each:

3" x 2 1/2"

3" x 1 3/4"

2 1/2" x 1 3/4"

1 3/4 square

To make the box use the Gift Bag Punch Board and use the measurements to make a small bag. 

Score the horizontal line first on the 10" side; then use the measurements to make a small bag scoring only on the S and the side (don't score on the triangle side); next use your score board and score at 2" and 4" on the 8 1/2 side and then turn your paper to the 11" side and just finish scoring the box on the areas you were not able to score on the punch board using your previously score lines as a guide.

Here is the video tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by!
