Is it "cream" or "creme". Either way, you have a lot of fun with this fun technique. AND you won't get messy or have to put up with they smelly shaving cream. Here's a copy of the darling card that we made with the Faux Shaving Cream technique at the Tech Club last Wednesday.
Stamps: Fabulous Flowers
Cardstock: Real Red, More Mustard, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, More Mustard, Basic Black
Other: Dazzling Diamonds, two-way glue pen, rhinestone brads (fire circles)
When our Technique Club meets, not only do we have fun and fellowship, we also make a 6" x 6" technique card that explains how to do the technique so we can do it again with other stamps and more colors. Here's a sample of the card we made for our Technique Album. Again, we used the Happy Blessings stamp set by Stampin' Up! The colors for this technique are Bravo Burgundy and Pumpkin Pie.
Our Technique Club met last Wednesday and made this adorable little happy thanksgiving card. I cased this card from another beautiful stamper whose name i forgot to write down. :=( If this is your card, please contact me so I can give you credit.
Stamps: Happy Blessings
Card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Kiwi Kiss, 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" Tangerine Tango, 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" Very Vanilla
Ribbon: Chocolate Chip grosgrain
Ink: So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink pads and Chocolate Chip Marker.
The original card used the Canvas Background stamp on the Kiwi Kiss Card stock and she also used a layer of chocolate chip card stock behind the very vanilla to add even more "pop". I kept it real simple for tonight's class.
I CASEd (copy and share everything) this technique from Sheryl Dickson. It's simple and so very elegant. Thanks Sheryl!
Ink your image in White craft Ink and stamp on card stock. Set aside to dry or heat set.
Stamp the same image on the Stamp-a-ma-jig clear sheety using the same color ink as the card stock.
Place the stamped image from the clear sheet over the white image on your card. Move the clear image sheet just slightly to the left so it's off center.
Ink up your image again. Leaving the jig in place, remove the clear image sheet and stamp over the previously stamped image.

White Brad (Retired SU!).
Where have U been? Pretty busy, huh? Here are a couple of shots from the last Technique Club. I'll post the details and more pictures later!
This was done with the polished stone technique using the Inspired by Nature stamp set.
The next picture provides the directions. Sorry that they're blurry, I'll post directions in writing, tomorrow.
I didn't think that Dreams du Jour could be used without the Bella Rose designer paper, but Stacey proved me wrong. I almost totally cased her card. Her work is much better. Thanks, Stacey. You can see more of her art work at her blog.
Stamps: Dreams du Jour, Inspired by Nature
Paper: Choc. Chip, Baja Breeze, W. White
Ink: Choc. Chip, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze
Other: Brads, sponge, Blender pen, CAD, 1-3/8" square punch.
A Bag-a-Lope is an envelope turned into a little gift bag.
To get the pattern, I just took apart one of our standard sized SU! envelopes and traced the pattern out on our new Bella Designer Series Paper.
The topper is made with the BigZ Top Note die. (I just love playing, creating new things with the new Big Shot.) Use the crop-a-dile (CAD) to punch through all the layers of paper at one time -- easy-peasy.
The matching ribbon is the Riding Hood Red taffata.
The inside is stuffed with home made raffia and chocolate -- Of course!
This is your chance to win $35 in FREE Stampin' Up! products just by doing what you already love to do.
Here's how it works. I have a board with 35 squares on it and each square is numbered 1 through 35. Everyone earns a spot with any order of $35 (before tax & shipping). Orders of $70 earn two spots and so on. If you are emailing an order, and it’s $35+ , just pick your favorite 3 numbers between 1 and 35. The first square available gets your name on it.
For the winner ~ at the event where the board is filled, the hostess of the event, or me if it is a class or stamp camp, draws a number from a baggie with little numbers in it. We all hoot and holler for the winner, even if she isn’t in attendance! The winner is also announced on my blog and customer e-mail list.
To redeem, it works just like cash. 
The winner writes up her order, it's totaled and I deduct $35 from the bottom.
