3 techniques for the Delicate Dahlia’s stamp set with video

I featured the Delicate Dahlia's stamp set on Tuesday's FB Live.  This stamp set is free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion happening now.  See it here. There are three pretty cards using different techniques on each. 

Delicate Dahlias Save

This first technique is called Watercolor Ink Spread. The colors are Magenta Madness & Mango Melody.  I was going for bright & happy colors,

This technique involves heat embossing an outline image and adding water & ink.  It is recommended to use watercolor paper but it worked fairly well on our Basic White.  However for larger petals or leaves I suggest you use our watercolor paper. Check out the video below for tips.

This next set of cards is basic 2-step stamping.  In the video I share a helpful tip on lining up two step stamps.  The Stamparatus can be best for most applications but I was stamping all over the panels and did not use it.

All of the images are in this beautiful stamp set. The colors on the left card are Coastal Cabana, Black, White & Vellum.  The right is Basic Bray, White, Bumblebee & Vellum. 

I did use our Black glittered ribbon on both.  I did heat emboss a flower on vellum and fussy cut it. It's colored with Blends markers.

And here is the video; I hope you enjoy watching it to get tips on these two sets of cards plus one more on Poppin' Pastels!

  • I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

    I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

    This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

    My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

    Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.

    Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

    For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

    The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

  • 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

    Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

    I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

    Details:

    • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
    • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
    • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
    • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
    • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
    • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

    Here's how:

    • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
    • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
    • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save
    After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

    You can see a video on this technique here.

    • The PDF tutorial with step by step instructions, measurements, supplies & photos
    • It does not include stamped images or stamps.  You can add it on either the Good Feelings or Nature's Thoughts.
