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. 


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!

  • 3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay


    Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle.  Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

    I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz.  Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.  

    The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut.  Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

    This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle: 

    Products used:

    • Delightful Tag Topper punch on the 2" X 3 1/2" White CS.
    • It's textured with the new Star Crossed embossing folder and added to a Basic Gray scalloped rectangle die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies seen here 
    • In Color 6 X 6" DSP, Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon seen here 
    • White embossing powder on the greeting
    • In Color jewels seen here 

    Measurements:

    • 5 ½” X 8 ½” Basic Gray; score at 2 1/8” from each side
    • 2 pieces Fresh Freesia In Color DSP at 2” X 5 ¼”
    • White tag is 2” X 3 ½”
    • Basic Gray greeting strip is 5/8” X 3 ¾”
