A Quick & Simple Fun Fold Featuring You Always Deliver

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Today, I have another quick and simple project for you. It's a fun fold card, but it's so quick and simple you'll be able to knock off a bunch of these in no time at all. Today, I am featuring my product pick for the week, the You Always Deliver stamp stamp set by Stampin' Up!. I think this little mailman/UPS guy/FedEx guy is just too cute for words!

Seriously, he can be whatever delivery person you want him to be, just change up your coloring scheme and voila...he's a postman or FedEx delivery guy! Today I went with the monochromatic look with just a pop of the Pretty Peacock and Real Red. I'm pretty happy with the results. 

For a complete list of supplies with links to my online store, see below. I also have a downloadable PDF with all of the measurements, just use the link below.

Wondering what you receive? Every retreat attendee whether in person or to go, will receive a goody bag of product valued at $30, you will also receive project "kits" for 5 projects along with an  instructional PDF. You will also receive some fun "pillow gifts" just for hanging out with me. For the live event, lunch will be served as well as a candy snack bar and the FUN Hot Cocoa Bar!
Early Bird pricing is $40 for the live event and for the Retreat To Go it is $35 + $14.95 shipping. But after 8/20 price goes up to $50 for the live retreat and $45 for the Retreat to go.

Pigment Sprinkles 3 Ways with the Modern Heart Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!

Hello and Happy Monday! I hope you're  week is off to a great start! Today I want to share with you 3 cards I made during my Facebook Live last night featuring the awesome Pigment Sprinkles and the Modern Heart Stamp Set.
I love the versatility of the Pigment Sprinkles watercolor. There are so many ways and so many uses for these richly pigmented watercolor crystals that they are a must have in any craft room.
First, there is the direct to paper watercolor. With this technique, you sprinkle the dry watercolor crystals onto your project and spray with water to explode the color.

In this particular example, I did an emboss resist by stamping my image in Versamark clear pigment ink and added clear embossing powder to heat emboss my image. I then sprinkled it with Bermuda Bay, Mellon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape Pigment Sprinkles, spritzed  with water and heat set the color.
For this second example, I used the "smooshing" technique by sprinkling the watercolor crystals onto a piece of Saran Wrap, spritzed with water and then smooshed my watercolor paper into the color. Here I used Mellon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.

In the 3rd and final example, I painted with my Pigment Sprinkles. I added the crystals to wells in my watercolor pallet and added water. I then used my AquaPainter to pick  up the color and paint the geometric shapes within my heart. I then fussy cut the heart and added  it to my project using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Another great use for these Pigment Sprinkles would be to color White Embossing paste, or glue that you may  want to add color too.  You can also use them to color White acrylic paint or White enamel paint. The the options are endless! Want to die ribbon? Add some Sprinkles to alcohol and soak your ribbon for a bit, then remove and  allow to dry...fast drying dye!
What other mixtures might you color with Pigment Sprinkles? Share your thoughts in the comments below. I'd love to hear!
