Being on the Design Team for Stamp Fever meant that I participated in the preparation of Shop Hop 2012. This year I designed the 6x6 scrapbook pages. I was also incharge of making 500 of them :-)!! as you can imagine that look quite some time. Here is the designs I came up with. Our theme was a secret garden so the page reflected the theme. <br />

When I wasn't making page kits or working at the store, I was able to spend the day Shop Hopping with my fellow SF Design Team member Katie and my daughter Jordan. Here are some pictures of our adventure. We went to 15 store I think, in one day. I even made a shirt for Jordan to wear. She and I were twins!</div>

To get through my meeting a HAD TO drink a 5 hour energy (I hate them and NEVER drink them). My husband went to his basketball game and my kids were off at my moms so I figured I'd rest and fall asleep around 8pm. But NO I was wrong! I relaxed for a few hours then got the crafting bug. So at 8pm when I thought I'd be sleeping, I was making a card. <br />
<br />
Here is the drawing I made during my Board Meeting lunch...<br />

I've been wanting to use this Penny Black cling stamp "Posies" since I bought it. I used memento markers to color the flowers and leaves then HUFFED on it with my hot air :-) and stamped it. A little distressing and some Martha Stewart punched Butterflies and this card was created. Hope you like it. Next Wednesday is my Design Team Wednesday on the Stamp Fever Blog and I'm going to make a tutorial on how to color your stamps with ink markers. I'll post it here as well when I'm done. </div>Gina Alferezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04435291081350942838noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887683306442596727.post-88742009929388578262012-06-20T15:05:00.001-07:002012-06-20T15:05:23.453-07:00Card Samples for my Coloring class<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Seems as though I haven't posted anything in a while. I have been taking a little time off (a month and a half) from my classes due to the memorial day holiday. So we've spent more time outdoor with nice weather and I've had less time to craft. I do have 2 classes coming up. For my regular class I have this idea of creating cards with a scene. I have a friend, baby shower and Birthday card planned. The first 2 I've created already and I'll work on the final b-day card tonight and I promise to post all 3 here tomorrow. Once I finish that one, I'll get creating for my coloring class. My idea is to teach about adding texture. We'll see what I end up with :-)<br />
<br />
On another front, I'm excited to share that on June 28th I'll be attending the Intermediate Copic Certification class. I can't wait to learn new things and work more on my coloring skills. It's an ALL DAY class from 9am to 8pm!!!! I'm going to be tired at the end of the day but good thing I have the following day off work! We leave for a short family summer vacation to Palm Springs for a few days that Saturday. So between coloring and vacation, I'm going to be one happy camper! <br />
<br />
Stay tuned tomorrow for pictures! <br />
<br />
Happy Crafting,<br />

The stamp is Hero Arts Hydrangea. I stamped the image with Browm ink and colored it in with Prisma water color pencils and used a blender pen to blend and spread the color. When using pencils, you just need to add spots of color and then use a blender pen, water brush or paint brush with water to spread the color. There is no need to actually color in the whole image with the pencils. I used a spellbinders die to cut out the card as well as the frame and center image section. The butterfly is a Martha Stuart punch and the sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp. </div>

These samples are colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. I haven't colored the copic versions yet. Hope you like them, they still have a possible Mother's Day card feel to them. I kept the base white to show off the coloring this time.<br />

<br />
I've been very busy making tons of invitations but finally got around to making my card samples for my next class at Stamp Fever on Tues. April 24, and Sat. April 28. Here they are with a little description of what stamps I used. I made these with Mother's Day in mind but designed them to be used for any occasion. All 3 cards use the same pink and green tones and all pieces used are Kraft Cardstock. This way, it can also make the perfect set of cards as well. Hope you like them. They have had a great response on Flickr so far. <br />
<br />
First lets start with my sketches. I actually thought these up and drew them in a staff meeting. I pay more attention when I doodle :-)<br />

While I worked away at my wedding invitations, she took out my Spectrum Noir marker and made this adorable card using "The Stamps of Life" stamp set called "Bunny4Easter".<br />

My makers just kept falling over. So after much search online I got inspiration to make this. <br />

I bought this penny Black stamp set "Tom and Tily" a month or so ago and never got around to coloring it. So when I got to leave early last week from work I went home and layed in bed and colored it. I made it to represent my husband and I when we are older. It is colored with copics and if I can find the paper I wrote the colors down on I will update this post with all the colors. I created the Sentiment using Lawn Fawn alphabet stamps "Sally's ABC's"</div>

This is where I came in. Once the invitations arrived and were dropped off to me I had only 1 week to beautify 150-200 wedding invites as well as make the reception cards. This is a challange I took on. Christina the bride to be gave me direction, a color palette and let me do my thing. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the outside of the card. The only part you can see that I added was the small purple strip going down the middle. That was a result from what we added to the inside. The front needed nothing from me to make it beautiful since it already was. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the inside of the card opened up. I added the purple panels on each side and added the photo corners to make your attention focus on the details. I love the way it turned out and it really did just give it that simple addition of color.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the matching reception card I made to go inside. It too matches the theme. I added a digital rose from SU and changed the color to light blue and added that to the background like a watermark to tie in the rose from the front of the invite. </div>

The first card I made using Lawn Fawn's Judy Blooms Stamp set, and the sentiment is from their Crusing Through Life set. To make this card I first stamped the middle image. Once on the card stock I was going to color on and once on a spare piece of paper to cut out and use as a mask. Then I put the mask over the center flower and stamped the side flowers. The stamp itself has some swirls on it which I didn't want to I wiped those off with a wipey before stamping the images. Then I removed the mask and colored my images. I used the new Spectrum Noir markers in the Pinks. I then cut out the entire image and matted it on a piece of black cardstock then Kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment. </div>

The second card I made using the new and just adorable Penny Black stamp set called Big Wish. I colored her in again with the Spectrum Noir markers then cut out the image with a Nestabilities die.

Did I mention it was scary? HAHA I dont always go through this process but I find myself drawing out an idea more often for my class cards then just for regular cards I need to make. But again it really just depends on if I can go make it right away or if I want to remember the idea. I needed to make my samples for my next class on Feb 25th and I wasn't able to sit and make them so I grabbed some paper and drew a few ideas. Below are the drawing and the final sample card for class. Don't be scared :-) <br />

There is so much hype around going but it is really for retailers to see what they want to order for their stores. I got to walk around with Linda (Stamp Fever's Store Manager) and we had a blast. We went by the Faber-Castell booth and I was explaining that my Idol Jill Foster makes lots of videos with their color pencils. So Linda suggested I see if they have a make in take where I could try them out. We went to sit down and as I was putting all our bags down, Linda leaned over and whispered in my ear... "did you see who;'s helping us?" I quickly looked up to my surprise to see my Idol miss Jill Foster!!! I just love Jill's videos and all the beautiful work she creates. I swear all of a sudden got all giddy! I even asked for a picture!!<br />

Now I wasn't always a crafter so store bought cards were always handy. But now that I spend most of my free time crafting, it's only right he gets a handmade card. But after many valentines, bdays, anniversarys etc it becomes harder and harder to think of a good concept I haven't done yet.<br />
<br />
I was cutting hearts from my last card class shaker card in mid January and the idea and memory came to me. You see many many years ago my darling husband bought me a dozen roses. They were red and just stunning! In the middle of the red roses was one white rose (Me) He said his love surrounded me. I've never forgotten about that and decided to make him a card to show him I still remembered. Here is what I came up with...<br />

I cut the hearts out with the Nestabilities heart die in Real Red Cardstock from Stampin Up. Then I cut one heart with Kraft Paper so it would be brown *My husband is Latin :0) I used Lawn Fawn stamps to create my own sentiment. <br />
<br />
I REALLY loved how it came out and he loved it too and even noticed that I made (him) brown :-)Gina Alferezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04435291081350942838noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887683306442596727.post-49663424865631134922012-02-15T12:34:00.000-08:002012-02-15T12:34:06.507-08:00Coloring ClassesWell I taught a beginner Copic Coloring class 2 saturday's ago at Stamp Fever. I was very excited when my first class filled up, then my second, then my third and I even ended up teaching a 4th for those that didn't get to take the others. We took it from a Copic coloring class and added the new Spectrum Noir markers from Crafters Companion which we started carrying at Stamp Fever. I was able to take a workshop at CHA and learn all about them. <br />
<br />
I had so much fun at my coloring classes and got to meet so many new ladies that are just getting into coloring with Alcohol Markers. All in all I had 33 lovely ladies join me for my classes. I was so touched by the support they gave me after class. We've decided to continue on with the coloring classes and do them once a month. Many if not all the ladies bought some new Spectrum Noir markers and planned to go home and color. So at my next class even the beginners would of had a month to play around with these great markers. I cant express enough how blessed I am and how excited I am for my next classes. <br />
<br />
Here are the cards we made. <br />
<br />
This card is made with Penny Black's "Floral Story" and the Background is stamped with Penny Black's "Zen Background" <br />

I used the new stamp from Penny Black called Rose Heart and broke out my distress stains to give it that water color look. Hope you like it. I demo it at the store this Saturday :-)<br />

Sorry I've been busy and didn't get around to posting my 3rd class card. Here it is. I used the Penny Black Poinsettia Stamp and distress stains to get this effect. I really loved how it came out and I got a great response in class and in the Penny Black Flickr group.</div>
