Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap. We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap. These swaps are super fun to make! The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Isn't it amazing!? We had enough people to make two! I'll share the other one tomorrow.
I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper. This texture style paper is on sale right now in October! But there's just two days left to get it! Go here to order yours.
DETAILS – Makes 1 album with 28 pages – Album size: 7-3/4″ x 7″ x 1-7/8″ – Page size: 6.5″ x 6″ – Colors: Blueberry Bushel, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger – Sentiments printed in English, French, and German

Here’s the flyer for the next 3 months. It describes each kit in detail.
What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!
Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.
On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.
I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.
I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.
