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!

  • Snailed It; fun, colorful & adorable


    This is another card we made at my March Card Clubs.  I featured the Snailed It Bundle seen here.  

    This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns.   I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here. 

    That cute envelope comes in the set of Snail dies. And quite a few of these dies coordinate with the Snail Mail designer paper too! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base (Daffodil or Bermuda Bay) 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
      Real Red 3 1/2" X 10 1/2" scored at 4 3/4"
      Whisper White 3 3/4" X 5"
      Scraps of Snail Mail DSP and White for punches & die-cuts 
      Bermuda Bay scrap for die-cut envelope

    Here's the video; watch to catch the many tips and tricks on this card.

    What colors do Hydrangeas come in?  Lots!  I have a white one in my yard; it's blooms are huge and beautiful every year.

  • Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!


    I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you.  This background is called the Bokeh technique. 

    Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.  

    We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it!  I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.  

    Measurements:

    • Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
      White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
      White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
      White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"

    I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots.  You can see the video below.  It's so easy and amazing!

    The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too. 

    Here is the video; I hope you watch it.  This technique is so fun and unique every single time!  Think of the colors you could use!
