Shaving Cream? For Real?

Shaving cream and card making you say?



Finished card project
Why, yes I say!  I love trying new things...especially new techniques and mediums.  Being new to paper crafting, there are soooo many things I still have yet to learn about this crafty outlet of mine.  In one of my Facebook groups (yes, I'm in many Facebook groups--card making, jewelry, Pampered Chef, Thirty-One...you name it), the shaving cream technique was posed as a challenge. 

At first, I looked at it and was like...doesn't really float my boat, plus I don't have any shaving cream in my house (who says that, right)...who doesn't have shaving cream at home you ask...well, that would be me.  Anyway, I rose up and accepted the challenge. 






Materials:
- Shaving cream (must be the foam type--NOT gel)
- Reinkers (I used Stamin' Up! Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango)


I used two different techniques:  "smooshing" (absolutely positive this is not a "real" term", but it's what I hear everyone else refer to) and the other with stencils.

I haven't made the cards yet, but here are 2 additional patterned pieces I made...definitely more to come using this technique.

Hello Fall Y'all! - Pretty Pumpkins

  Welcome and Happy Fall Y'all! Thanks for stopping by Sweets' Stampin' Creations, where I share card  projects created using Stampin' Up! products.  It's time for another Stamping With Friends blog hop!  I'm hopping with some awesome paper crafters and stampers from the Stamping With Friends Facebook Group.  For this post, it's all about Fall. I love this time of year...although I live in Texas and don't get to experience the changing of the seasons as dramatically as my college years when I lived in Worcester, MA...I still remember the colors of the season and the changing of temperatures from hot to cool (not cold).    Fall, the time of the year between Summer and Winter (usually between September and December) heralds in pumpkin season (pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie...you get the drift), soup season, leaves changing colors, cooler weather, apple picking (I've never done that), etc. T here are so many ways to celebrate this season of the year.  ...
