Art 'n Soul's August Inspiration Station features the "Handwritten Quotes" (MDR44475) stamp set by Dina Wakley from Ranger. This was a great selection by Carolyn Gough and the display is up at the store. You must come in and enjoy the art candy!
Those who are the 'early birds' at the store will be
able to purchase this stamp set at Art 'n Soul.
This is the card that I made. All of the quotes are so terrific that it will be easy to use every one of them for this month's Inspiration Station!

- Dina Wakley Media Stamps "Handwritten Quotes" (MDR44475) by Ranger
- Memory Box Die - Paper Cut Tulips Circle (98828)
- IMAGINE Crafts
- Vertigo Film in Taffeta
- StazOn Midi in Blue Hawaii
- StazOn Solvent Ink in Sunflower Yellow
- Stick It! double-sided adhesive sheet from Ken Oliver
- Hanko Linen Paper - Tsumugi in Bright Orange and Blue
- Curious Metallic Card Stock in Mandarin
- Italian Handmade Paper
- Glue Dots, Enamel Dot, MISTY stamp positioner
- Die cut the tulip circle twice - once with the Italian paper and again with the Mandarin metallic card stock. Apply a piece of Stick It! to the backside of the orange card stock where the die will be placed.
- Using the ink pad direct to paper method, apply the yellow StazOn to the backside of the vertigo (label side); allow to dry completely.
- After the StazOn has dried on the Vertigo, adhere the orange die cut to the top center of the Vertigo film (on the side that wasn't inked) with the other side of the Stick It! adhesive sheet. Then adhere the Italian paper die cut on top, offsetting the position just slightly. I used a dab of glue on each of the tulip flower and the center circle of the Italian paper so I could 'smoosh' the position of the tulip blossom to a slight offset position.
- Stamp the sentiment to the lower center (I used a stamp positioner because I can never stamp a sentiment straight by myself!).
- Adhere the orange linen paper panel to the blue linen paper card base.
- On the backside of the Vertigo panel, adhere glue dots underneath each tulip flower and the center circle. Adhere to the base card.

I hope you'll purchase Dina's stamp set because you'll be able to use it for all sorts of projects, i.e., cards, art journaling, mixed media, etc. Because of a trip out of town tomorrow, I won't be able to bring this card into the store until Wednesday. I can assure you, though, that there will be much more beautiful and creative cards by Carolyn, Pam, Dianne, Marj and Susie.
Speaking of Memory Box, here are two Halloween projects from their blog to get you started with those ghoulish fun cards.

If you weren't at Art 'n Soul this last Saturday for Play Day, you missed out on a great demo by Marj with IMAGINE Crafts' Creative Medium and the stencil pastes and embossing enamels from Dreamweaver Stencils that is now owned by Stampendous. The new Creative Mediums are all iridescent colors; the metallic colors will rise up when the medium is dry. The Stencil Pastes are opaque in several colors that you can also combine to make your own color combinations.

She always put so much work into whatever she does,
and that includes the enormous amount of prep time it took
for Saturday's Play Day. We really appreciate you, Marj! |
The 'players' were enjoying their time and were very anxious to try out what Marj was showing them. The photos are of their practice work which turned out very nice.

I asked Karen to allow me to photo part of the
process . . . Marj showed folks how to add glitter to
their paste after the stencil is removed. |

(This was the fan stencil from Dreamweaver Stencils;
I thought the added glitter colors made it look like
a floral tapestry.) |

As I said, Marj is always so well prepared for whatever she presents to customers and students at Art 'n Soul. She kindly prepared a tip sheet and I believe there are some leftover sheets at the store.
These are the stencil projects that Marj demo'd at the store on Saturday, as well as those that she had prepared for Play Day, and some projects she had completed from before.

Be sure to stop in soon to see some of these cards in person. I know Marj left some of these cards so folks can be inspired. Several orders for the IMAGINE Crafts' Creative Medium were taken . . . you might to check with the store asap to see if you might be able to add to that order because most, if not all, of the Creative Mediums were sold on Saturday.
That's all for now. Carolyn will be at the store all day and would love to show you this month's Inspiration Station display. And don't forget that Memory Box is open catalog right now.
I'll hope to see you Tuesday or Wednesday after I return from my quick trip. Thanks for stopping by!
