Tone on Tone Stamping with the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I’m working with Queen Anne’s Lace today and you can get this set for FREE when you join Stampin’ Up! during September! Follow the link at the bottom of this post…

I chose to work with a tone on tone technique, using Gray Granite and Basic Gray.

A pop of Petal Pink and white lift the layout and give the card a feminine feel.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

The sentiments in this set are amazing too!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Double Heat Embossing with the Today’s Tiles stamp set

Hello Everyone,

I trying out something fun with heat embossing today, I’m calling it double embossing!

Step one, heat emboss with clear powder.

Step two, heat emboss with coloured powder.

In this example I chose silver, this could also have been white!

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I ended up using Rich Razzleberry card stock, but would have preferred to use Blackberry Bliss.

This is the original sample using Very Vanilla, Terracotta Tile and Cinnamon Cider.

I used gold powder for step two!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Peacock Duo

Hello Everyone,

This week I’m doubling up! Two cards each day with the same or similar products!

Today, it’s the Royal Peacock stamp set and matching dies with Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel retiring In Colours.

For the first card, the peacock was stamped with the assistance of the Stamparatus, first with Blueberry Bushel for the head and body and Call Me Clover for the tail.

The details were heat embossed with copper powder, (also retiring), and then die cut.

Some additional feathers were die cut to embellish the sentiment. This was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The second card is completely different!

Four large feathers were die cut from Blueberry Bushel card stock and adhered together to form an oval-ish shape.

Stitched Square dies were used to cut the green frame and the stamped sentiment.

A few rhinestones added some extra interest to the background.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

In My Heart

Hello Everyone,

All the projects I am sharing this week will feature at least one retiring product.

Today it is the Modern Heart stamp set.

I kept it simple heat embossing the image with clear powder.

The facets were coloured with watercolour pencils, though I think a “real” watercolor effect may have been more successful to achieve the rainbow look.

The sentiment was added with black Memento ink.

Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would share this non traditional Christmas card design with you today.

The colour combination I used is Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry.

Whisper White card stock was coloured through a decorative mask using Stampin’ Sponges.

Before removing the mask, versamark ink was pressed over the panel. (The ink pad will get stained, so using an older pad might be a good idea).

I applied some clear embossing powder and heat set this to give a shiny design. This was adhered to a white card base.

A sentiment was added using Rich Razzleberry ink.

The stars were heat embossed with silver powder and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Glittered Winter Woods

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would revisit the festive stamp sets in the Annual catalogue for today’s project.

The trees were stamped with Early Espresso Ink onto a Very Vanilla card layer.

Dabs of glue were added to the image which were covered with Ice Glitter. The excess was was tapped off and allowed to dry before adhering to a Crumb Cake card base.

The sentiment was heat embossed with gold powder and added below the trees with dimensionals.

Silhouette Deer

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I used a combination of mask and ink blending to create a background.

Using post-it notes, I masked off a section of card stock.

With sponge daubers I applied ink starting with Balmy Blue.

Pacific Point was added next along the top, then Highland Heather along the bottom.

The deer and sentiment were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Shimmer Black powder.

A Stitched Rectangle Die was used to cut the panel. This, was adhered to a card base that had been stamped with snowflakes in Silvery Shimmer Ink.

Wrapped Wrapped in Plaid x3

Hello Everyone,

Here are some more cards using Perfectly Plaid bundle and Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper.

The paper has three main colours in collection, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy. It is these colours that I have used for my card bases.

To make a card base cut an A4 sheet of card stock lengthways at 4-1/8 inches (10.5cm), turn and score at 5-7/8 inches (15cm).

Each card base was layered with a piece of coordinating DSP measuring 4 inches (10.2cm) by 5-3/4 inches (14.6cm).

The smaller panels measured;

3 inches (7.6cm) by 4-3/4 inches (12cm) for the coloured card stock;

2-7/8 inches (7.3cm) by 4-5/8 inches (11.7cm) for the white card stock.

On this piece, the sentiment was stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with gold powder.

The embossed panels were adhered to the corresponding card base.

Scrap coloured card was used to stamp and heat emboss the trees which were cut with the coordinating punch. These were added to each card using dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Starry Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

This week I’ll be sharing some super simple cards that can be made quickly and easily.

For this card, the star is the most complicated element, but this can sped up using the Stamparatus if required.

For the two tone look, the decorative image was stamped first with Real Red ink.

The outline was stamped next with versamark and then heat embossed with gold powder.

The coordinating dies were used to cut the image.

The sentiment was added to a white card base with Real Red ink and the star adhered with dimensionals.
