Hi everyone! I recently hosted a group of little 8 and 9 year old girls at my house for a birthday party and one of the things we did was make jewelry out of shrink plastic and stamps. They made all sorts of things like the butterfly pictured and hand drawn images and other stamps. It was so much fun that I thought I would do it again at Stamp Camp with my group. Here is the card we made.
I used the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set. It is a good size. You have to remember to take into account how much the image is going to shrink when you work with Shrink plastic. Even the hole shrinks, so we used a 1/4 inch circle punch to add a hole in between the antenna so that we could attach the butterfly to the card.
At stamp camp we colored with Stampin' Write Markers, but the girls at the party used markers, as well as the watercolor pencils, which worked great. The Orange and Yellow butterfly was make with the pencils.
They made hearts and pandas the most.
I made a video to show you how to use the shrink plastic with Stampin' Up! products. It has lots of tips and tricks to I suggest checking it out...
I hope you will give it a try, it was lots of fun!

Hi Everyone! Today I am playing with Brusho Crystal Colour! This is such a fun product. It gives a different look every time and can be used in many ways. Today I am using it with the Beautiful Day stamp set.
For this card I used the Sheet Music background stamp first, stamped in Archival ink to withstand the water. Then I stamped the butterflies.
Next I shook some Brusho onto the butterfly and spritzed with my Stampin' Spritzer. For this sample I then used my Aqua Painter to push the color around to fill in the wings. On other samples further down I just let the color stay were it landed and left it, for a different look.
Here is a video showing you step by step how to make this card.
