Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia

September 8, 2021

If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique. If not, check this out!

Save

You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too!

Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface. Outline images won't work as well here.

Here's how it's done:

Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock.
Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area.
Blow or dust off excess chalk. Done!

Great way to use the Extraordinary Washi Tape with video

February 23, 2026

We made this beautiful card at my February card clubs. It features the Extraordinary Washi Tape from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

Save

Aren’t they pretty? And because the washi tape includes two color combinations (all in one roll) I was able to offer two choices of colors. You can see this pretty Washi tape here.

Save

It also has a stamp & die bundle that matches it perfectly. I used only the single die seen here. What I love about this die is it cuts out all of one huge panel of flowers/leaves all at once! It’s a most amazing product, (well named) and incredible that you get 16 gorgeous flowers cut all at once!

Save

That neat embossing folder on the large Vanilla is called Beautiful Pattern and can be seen here.

Save

My colors include Old Olive and Very Vanilla, plus Calypso Coral with Petal Pink and Berry Burst with Fresh Freesia. We wrapped Old Olive twine around the Vanilla layer twice and tied it into a bow to anchor the flowers & greeting.

The other bundle I used is the Words of Beauty seen here. So many possibilities for greetings in this one.

Save

A few other dies used here are theTextured Notes dies seen here (which are retiring but unavailable right now) and the Label Me Grateful dies which just retired.

I also used the ‘With You in Mind’ stamp set for the inside: A thin 1/4″ strip of matching CS finished it off nicely.

Save

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on using these products and finishing the card. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there!
