Today I'm sharing a few card swaps made by gals in a long distance swap.
First is a card made by Selene Kempton. She is someone I've recently become friends with and I cannot say enough about her huge heart and fun personality.
I love her color choices of Petal Pink with Crumb Cake, White & Early Espresso. Cute layout too! Her cards are often among my favorites. The textured background is made with the Dashing Designs embossing folder seen here.
She used the Marbled Elegance specialty DSP for the background and as a layer under her main image.
You can find this adorable Perfect Pairs stamp set here. It's in our online exclusives but that just means it's not seen in any printed catalog. Anyone can order these items!
Here's another sample seen online in the SU store. Did you know that when you're looking at our product you can find multiple ideas from their samples?
That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here. I also have a free project sheet with directions.
Here are the steps:
Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green.
Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture. Swipe with an embossing buddy.
Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.
Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all. This is called 'Direct to Paper'.
With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area.
I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes.
The card below features an emboss resist technique. Same colors but the steps are different.
First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green. *This must be water-based ink!
Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done!
The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).
Below is the video on how I made this card along with a few resist techniques featuring new Annual Catalog products. I hope you watch it AND subscribe to my YouTube channel too.
