Stamping with Sweetened Condensed Milk: My Very First Guest Design!!


So there I was. Just staring at my computer screen when up pops a message from the amazing Shery Russ of STAMPlorations. She asked me to Guest Design! After jumping up and down in glee (thanks, Shery, for helping me burn off some of the Christmas cookie calories) I gladly accepted!

If you have followed my blog for any length of time, you know how much I adore the sketchy, gorgeous designs Shery and her team create. The girls over at STAMPlorations are some of the best in the business and have left some amazing encouragement on my designs. 

For the STAMPlorations Blog, I produced a tutorial on how to stamp with sweetened condensed milk, an old technique my grandma taught me. 


Not many people have heard of this technique and it creates the most amazing, textural cards. 





If you guys wouldn't mind popping by the STAMPlorations blog to leave me a bit of love today, I would really appreciate it. I promise you'll learn all about a GREAT new technique!



Thanks for following! And if you're new to my blog, thanks for stopping by! Leave me a comment and follow my blog and I'll be sure to return the favor. :)

  5. I've got to give this a go Becca, not sure how much will end up on a card though as it may get eaten!! I've just recently discovered Stamplorations and joined their stamp club so look forward to joining in their challenges next year. Carol x
