Delicate Dahlias with Poppin’ Pastels technique


This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making.  It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique. 

The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order.  It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive.  This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created. 

The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store. 

Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers.  I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately. 

Measurements:

  • Poppy Parade 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Beautifully Penned DSP seen here (free now during Sale-a-Bration) 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White 3 " X 3 1/2"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 
  • Black 3 1/4" X 3 3/4"

  • Great sketch to create fast cards with Woven Textures


    On last week's video I shared two more projects made with the Textured Notes bundle which is included in the entire Botanical Textures suite seen here.  

    This lovely card features Pecan Pie with Early Espresso. I stamped directly onto the designer paper – a soft linen sheet included in the Woven Textures DSP seen here.  

    I die-cut the three rectangles with the new Textured Notes dies which is included in the Textured Notes bundle seen here.  I cannot stop using this bundle!!

    This layout was inspired by this sketch.   

    I love using sketches for my inspiration!  Think of them as a starting point.  Noticed I added a greeting layer & linen thread. 

    Did you catch the texture on the diagonal Early Espresso strip?  That's the new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here.  I tell you this suite is incredible!  I love every single thing in it!

    Below is the inside view.  Like I said yesterday these leaf stamps are wonderful to play with. Easy, beautiful cards.

  • I just love this project I'm sharing today!  Have you ever made a 'Bendy card'?  

    This card features the beautiful Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I just love this stamp set!  The leaves are so easy to create with.  And the black & white DSP in the back is called Botanical Textures seen here.  

    This stamp set is in a bundle with the wonderful Textured Notes dies.  See the bundle here.  

    This Bendy card is super simple to make.  The back is scored in the center plus the center white and the lower black have scored tabs on the side that allows the entire card to bend.  Be sure to check out the video & free project sheet below. 

    Below is one of the ways I stamped the back. Watch the video below to see another version.
