Shop Around Queen

Hi there, Stampin' Friends.  The moment I saw the Shop Around Wheel in the 2013-2014 catalog, I knew I wanted it!  I personally struggle using the wheels...getting an even coverage of ink and getting it straight really frustrate me.  My solution is to 'unmount' the wheel and make it into a stamp.  This makes it usable and enjoyable for me. I use a craft knife to cut the seam on the rubber while it is mounted to the wheel. Once I have cut all the way through the rubber, I peel the stamp off the plastic wheel.  Using the Clear-Mount Cling Foam # 124236 on pg 197, I mount the stamp to the sticky side of the foam, and cut around the stamp and  Presto! A new stamp!!  I store them on an acetate sheet in a 3 ring binder.  They would also fit nicely in the Clear Mount Cases #119105 on pg. 197.

Here is what I created with the wheel... I used a Black Stampin' Write marker to ink just a portion of the stamp and then stamped it on the dress form. 

Here is a close up showing the dimension:

Emboss in Color: Loving Butterfly Thoughts of You

Hi there Stampin' Friends.  The butterfly I have created on this card is an example of what you can create with Versa Mark, Stampin' Write Markers and clear embossing powder...I inked the butterfly image in Versa Mark, colored it with Stampin' Write Markers, stamped it and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  You can do this technique with any stamp and any color.  Go ahead...give it a try!

 Here is a closer look at the embossed butterfly.
