My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Jan's Digi Stamps Anything Goes #4 Turner Syndrome Key Stamp Set

Last August, Jan Mahew wanted to do something special for the Turner Syndrome Awareness campaign Lori Kobular organizes.


Jan created a sweet stamp set that can be used not only for fundraising, but for conventional cardmakers as well which includes vintage keys and butterflies. Jan's set also contains another set of keys that have the TS logo on them, just in case you'd like to make cards for Lori's fund raising campaign.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the proceeds for this $2.00 set are donated to the Turner Syndrome Foundation.


It's time for our ANYTHING GOES Challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps where a $10 store credit is given to a winner every challenge!

Facebook - Shopping - Pinterest - Challenges

We hope you will enjoy Jan's TSF Key Stamp Set

First, I arranged the Key on my word processor, creating a background, using Jan's sentiment. With the opacity option of my word processor, the background was faded out:



Colored with Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 Color Pencils and Gamsol and Distress Inks, more goodies were aded to make a frilly-girly card:


Can you see the "Happiness is the Key to inner Beauty" throughout the background of the Key panel?




The key was then "colored" with VersaMarker and heat set with a pearly semi-transparent embossing powder (I had to get the light just right for you to see the metallic-pearly shine):



All Done!

How beautiful you clever girl! Yes, I can see the subtle background and it's very nice with the more prominent sentiment in the foreground. Lovely use of the dies, and the pearly embossing on the key is wonderful effect. A worthy cause, too! Hugs and happy holidays, Donna!
