Dual Embossing Techniques

Today I wanted to share a video where I show you how to create a similar card using two different types of embossing techniques. I’ve created the cards using a wet embossing technique called emboss resist and a dry embossing technique where the ink is applied to the embossing folder. What is cool about this technique is that I used the same process on both cards to get a different yet similar look. Which look is your favorite.

Curvy Snowman Card

I created this card to show case some of the products from the quite curvy bundle that is available now through January 4, 2021. The Quite Curvy Stamp Set and Curvy Dies will be in the Jan – Jun Mini catalog; however, if you want the Christmas stamp set that I’ve used or the paper you’ll want to make sure to get it before this promotion is over.

I’ve created a video with step by step instructions showing you how to use the dies to create your own card with this unique way of opening. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Please feel free to share your creations in the comments or on my Facebook Page.

For your convenience I’ve created a PDF of all the products needed to create this project. I’ve also include the PDF with all the information about the Quite Curvy Bundles and promotion. Remember you can order them on my website at www.candiceanderson.stampinup.net.

In the video I said that I would create a card with the piece that I cut out of the pool party. I’ve use the designers series paper ( #155969 for $11.50) from the Quite Curvy Bundle to complete the card. I’ve also created alternate samples using the Warm and Toasty stamp set from the current Holiday catalog. I’d love to know your thoughts. Please share in the comments which stamp set you prefer the Snowman or Warm and Toasty.

Additional products used:

Warm and Toasty stamp set (#152615 for $22.00) from the current Holiday catalog
Snowman Builder Punch (#150643 for $18.00)
Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon (153541 for $8.00) from the current Holiday catalog
Timeless Label Punch (#149516 for $18.00)
Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897 for $8.00)

Card made using the Birthday Cheer Stamp set and matching dies featuring the Cupcakes.

Birthday Cheer- Cupcakes

Card made using the Birthday Cheer Stamp set and matching dies featuring the Cupcakes.

Stamp of the Week set featured April 1st – April 6th- Birthday Cheer.

Today I’m featuring a quick card I made using the Birthday Cheer Stamp Set and matching dies.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Just a quick note I used the Cherry Cobbler & Pool Party blender pens to color in the cupcakes after I attached them to a piece of Whisper White Paper . I also used the Dot to Dot embossing folder that I think works so well with this stamp set.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Another card featuring the Birthday Cheer Cupcakes

Same card with a different color Combo using the Birthday Cheer Stamp set and matching dies.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

This card features the colors Flirty Flamingo and a mix of the light Bermuda Bay with the Dark Pool Party Blender Pens. I also used glossy white card-stock for the back instead of the normal white. I found that the blends actually don’t work as well on this paper as they do on the whisper white card-stock.

Remember that when you purchase the Birthday Cheer set as the stamp of the week for April 1 – 6th you can get a free card kit when you purchase before the 14th of April using the special hostess code RAFQT4TW . The stamp set is just $20 however I recommend getting the bundle for $45 so you can make cute cards like this one using the die.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Birthday Cheer Stamp of the Week Sneak Peak

In the Birthday Cheer stamp of the week kit. You will receive a kit to make 1 each of 4 different cards.

To learn more and get all the details check out the Birthday Cheer Page.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Be sure to check back the rest of the week for more samples using this fun set.

Valentine’s Day Fun

Hey everyone did you miss me?  Sorry it’s been so long wasn’t what I had planed but sometimes life gets in the way.  I’ll explain all of that in a post soon but today I wanted to share with you the cute Valentines we made for my kiddos classes.

Orange Monster Valentine

Pink Monster Valentine

I knew from the minute I saw this stamp set in the occassions catalog that I wanted to use it for valentines and my kids happened to pick the perfect treat to go with it.  I loved how they turned out.  It was really easy I used a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of paper and it’s scored in the center at 5″, 5 1/2″ and 6″.  I then folded it into the center to give it some dimension and room for the sucker.  I used a 1/2″ circle punch on the fold to create the whole for the succor.  Hopefully this photo gives you the idea of what I tried to explain.

Monster Valentine Base

I love that Stampin’ Up! gives me the opportunity to spend time with my kids while creating fun and unique valentines for their friends.  I enjoyed teaching them how to use the new watercolor pencils and watching their faces light up when I showed them the magic of blending the colors with the blender pens.  Just a quick note these are going fast they already sold out of the first shipment and had to put them on back order and they expect to sell out of the rest of them quickly so be sure to get your soon.

wp-image-1386685986jpg.jpg

Here the fun completed project I hope you think they turned out as cute as I did.  Just a note I used the framelites die from the Paisleys set to cut out the center I found it was easiest to attach my white colored monster first then run it through the big shot.  It cut through both layers with no problem and created the perfect whole for our succors.

Pumpkin Pie & Bermuda Bay Monster Valentines

Pink and Mambo Monster Valentines

If you want to create these cute treats here is what you will need:

Colors – Paper Pumpkin – Bermuda Bay – Basic Black – Whisper White

Colors- Pink Pirouette – Bermuda Bay – Basic Black – Whisper White – Melon Mambo

Remember that it’s also time for Sale-a-bration now is the perfect time to order and get free products.  Be sure to check them out.If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

#imbringingbirthdaysback

Many of you may have seen posts on Facebook recently with the hashtag #‎imbringingbirthdaysback‬ . I’m excited to join in this fun movement and hope you will join it with me.  First for those of you who don’t know the movement: bringing back a card in the mail rather than just a text or greeting on Facebook, while those are great it’s so nice to get a card in the mail.

If you want a hand stamped birthday card from me this year please comment with your Birthday and I’ll add to my list (if your birthday just past add it anyway and I’ll get a belated card to you.)

Next if you want to join in the fun then I have the perfect class for you and well as introducing my first ever STAMP WITH ME class.  This class is perfect for birthday cards and you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

STAMP WITH ME CLASS

It’s My Party -Birthday Card Class

This is a one sheet wonder class where you will use the amazing papers in the the “It’s my party Designer Series Paper Stack.” You’ll use one sheet to make these 12 amazing cards.  (Note picture shows 2 different papers so you can see that the design works with both the light and dark colors in the paper stack.)  You’ll have enough paper to create 8 sets and still have more designer paper left

As a bonus you will also get the materials to make this darling box.  If you have January’s Paper Pumpkin it works great to add the months of the year.  We also offer several month sets if you need one or write on them yourself whatever works best for you.

Check out how cute the front of this is.  This box makes it so easy to organize your cards so you can easily send them each month.  It’s even sized to hold your envelopes.
