Irresistible Designs emboss resist technique with free project sheet & video

I shared this card on last week's Live video. I wanted to feature the new Irresistible Designs specialty paper seen here in the new Annual catalog.  It has printed/embossed patterns that are perfect for the emboss resist technique.

Which color do you prefer? Are you a yellow or a purple person?  

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. For inks I chose Lemon Lolly, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. 

I cut my strips first, then blended the inks on. I textured the center Smoky Slate layer with the Glass & Gardens embossing folders.  The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.

I stamped the greeting twice; first on the circle and again on a small piece of card stock.  I fussy cut the 'Celebrate' out and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals.  This was such an easy card!

  • Fun 4-Way Split Angled card idea; Live video tonight!

    We're making these fun but easy cards on tonight's Facebook Live.  It's at 7:30 pm CT here.  I hope you can join me!  If not it will be added to my YouTube channel here as well.  *Be sure to follow me on FB so you won't miss these lives! 

    Every 2nd & 4th Monday night's I host a 'Stamp with Me' live on Facebook where we create striking cards using Designer Paper or a fun technique.  If you're new to stamping you'll become more comfortable and efficient at it.  If you're a seasoned stamper you'll still enjoy it and get new ideas to create. 

    Tonight I'll share a version of this card; I'm calling it a 4-way Split Angled card. 

    Abstract Beauty Split Angled card Save

    The card above features the Abstract Beauty specialty designer paper in the 2022 January-June catalog by Stampin' Up!  It has splashes of color along with gold highlights.  See it here.  

    ABSTRACT BEAUTY 4" X 6" (10.2 X 15.2 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    If you want to make one of these you'll need card bases, DSP or stamps & ink and a greeting or die-cut like I used here. 

    • card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored in half at 5 1/2"
    • Colored layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP or stamped layer 3 3/4" X 5" (for a wider split use 3 1/2" X 4 3/4") 

    The Amazing Thanks dies have quickly become a favorite of mine.  See those here.

    The next example uses the Flowing Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight.  I stamped the images before I cut them in 4 pieces.

    You might wonder – 'how do you cut these into 4 angled pieces?'  Honestly I cut from the top to the bottom first, just estimating my angled cut. Then I held the two pieces back together and cut from the bottom left to the right side. 

    It does not have to be perfect!  Honestly; just wing it; I dare you to do this without measuring.

  • Quick & beautiful cards for any occasion with the New Horizon suite.

    If your style is clean and simple I have the perfect card layout for you! Look at these gorgeous cards!

    I stamped a few of the images from the On the Horizon stamp set here.  I used the birds a lot!  They add a peaceful 'movement' to the card.

    I used a version of my 5 at a time template for the card stock layers for these cards.  I use this often for the inside of my cards; especially if I need a white piece.  When making multiple cards it sure is nice to get 5 pieces from an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet instead of just 4.  I get a lot of people who ask me about this template.  If you like it I suggest you save it and either print it out or save on your computer for easy reference.

    If you look closely at the cards with the trio of trees on them you'll see a 'watery' reflection. It's so easy with this New Horizon Designer Series Paper.  I shared how in the video here. 

    The New Horizons paper is on low inventory at this time. If they run out the item will be shut off until they restock.  

    NEW HORIZONS 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    Here's how this simple reflection is done. 

    1. Stamp the tree on the horizon line using full ink.
    2. Do not ink again. 
    3. Turn the stamp upside down and simply stamp under the first image.  Easy, instant reflection.

  • Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques

    I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month.  When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!

    Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.
