Greatest Journey

Have you ever fallen in love more with the dies than with the stamp set?

That is how I felt when I first saw this suite. It was the dies that drew me to them. Maybe because my family is very outdoors and we love to camp, hike and bike and I thought these would be perfect to make cards for them and scrapbook pages. When I started to play with this stamp set I really wanted to use the blending brushes in a unique and different way. I chose to use the dies to cut out a template that I held to create a layered effect on the card. Rather than having a blended look by using the template I was able to create depth to the background without adding more layers. I finished it off by layering cardstock that I embossed the saying on with white embossing powder and the used one of the die cut images as a focal point.

I originally created this card as a swap with my Stampin’ Up! team and I’m happy to report that I was one of the winners of the swap with this card. Here is a close up picture where you can see the detail better.

After creating the card for the swap I decided I wanted to see what I could come up with using some of the other images and sayings in the set. Here’s what I came up with. What do you think? I still like the first one the best, but I like these as well. I know I’ve said this before, but I’m sad this one didn’t carry over from the mini catalog as I think it’s a great set and I love the dies.

Paradise Palms Stamp Set

Today is the last day of Spring break yet for us here in Utah it has been more like winter break with record breaking snow fall. I’m craving a bit of the sun shine so I thought I’d share a beachy project today.

I created this card a while back when I was watching my friend Rose Coleman’s Facebook live. She was demonstrating a card for the Global Design Challenge #384. It was a challenge to case a design layout. I wanted to try the challenge myself and while I didn’t get it posted to be included in the challenge I was happy with the results. I used the blending brushes to created the background and the dies rather than the stamps for the shadows. You might be surprised to find out that the trees are actually cut out of basic grey card stock and then colored using the blending brushes. I wanted them to have different levels of darkness rather than them being all the same.

Daisy Garden Stamp Set

Want a quick and easy card?

The Daisy Garden Stamp set is the perfect solution. You can use any combination of colors just simply stamp the background and add it to your card base. Throw in a little ribbon for texture and your choice of greeting and you have a quick and easy that can be made in minutes. Remember this set is retiring so get it before it’s gone.

155079 – Daisy Garden (R)
155052 – Biggest Wishes (C)
Colors – Left Card – Pale Papaya (R), Evening Evergreen (R), Basic White (C)
Colors – Right Card – So Saffron (R), Blackberry Bliss (C), Basic White (C)
155573- 3/8″ Open Wave Ribbon Evening Evergreen (R) – Left Card
159194 – Rose Gold & White 5/8″ Striped Ribbon (R) – Right Card

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying over

Quick Tip – Instead of removing my background stamp from the case I ink it in the case then put my cardstock over the part of the image that I want to stamp. I then place the largest block over the cardstock and use it to apply even pressure when stamping the image.

Just a thought – This same technique could be used with the Butterfly Brilliance set that I showcased yesterday. I would love to see your samples of this technique using any background stamp. Please feel free to share them in the comments or on my Facebook page.

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

Butterfly Brilliance

After creating my video for my recent post on duel embossing techniques I wanted to try using the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set that I mentioned my friend Alisa Tilsner used. I wanted the colors to be brighter those so I decided on more of a rainbow look. The card on the right uses the same wet embossing technique I showed how to use in the video.

The card on the left however is slightly different as the set doesn’t have an embossing folder but instead has a matching set of dies. The set has a set of dies that will cut out all the stamped images and it also has lined butterflies. For this project I used the blending brushes the same way to create the background and then used both dies to cut out the butterflies and place them over the background. I will be honest I love how this turned out.

I created this before I found out about the retiring list, however once I found the set and dies were retiring I new I need to share it right away. I’ve included a list of the retiring items so you purchase them before it’s to late.

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.
