Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps with Alcohol Inks

Hi Everybody,
time to showcase a few of the older Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps. Those flowers were created by Olesya from the DT and they are just gorgeous.


My stamp supplies:

Curious how I made this card? I made it with alcohol inks on Yupo paper
I started out with some clear alcohol - you can also use blending solution, but its a lot more expensive. I use 99% alcohol, you can get that much cheaper on the internet.


Used my heat gun to blow out the ink (butterscotch)


Added 3 drops of yellow.


Waited until it was almost dry


Sprayed it lightly with alcohol


Stamped with Catherine Pooler ink. It looked a little feeble, so I heat embossed it in black. You have to be careful with the heat embossing, as the Yupo paper warps easily.


Added little accents with blue ink and then added splatters. I heat embossed the sentiment using paint chips and mounted it with foam tape.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
