Waves of Inspiration

Comments: 0

This card showcases both sides of the DSP; the patterned paper is used for the card front so when you open the card, you see the reverse side of the paper.

Stamp Set – Waves of Inspiration
Cardstock – Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point, Basic White
Ink – Soft Suede, Pacific Point
Accessories – Waves Dies, Stampin’ Blends, Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stamping Tip:

  • Card Base – 4-3/16″ (a little less than 4-1/4″) x 5-1/2″
  • Designer Paper is cut 5-1/2″ x 6″ and scored parallel to the short side at 1/2″ & 4-3/4″
  • Adhere the 1/2″ fold to the back of the card base
  • Fold back at 4-3/4″ to cover the card base and showcase the reverse side of the patterned paper.  I adhered a 1/2″ x 5-1/2″ of Pacific Point under the edge of the DSP

This is one of the cards we’ll be creating at my card class next week.

If you are a regular visitor to my blog, you may have noticed that I have not been posting regularly.  Unfortunately, I have been laying low again with a lower respiratory infection.  This is my second in 6 weeks and has zapped my energy once again.  Ugh!  Lots of pollen in the air from lack of rain + red tide.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

Nature’s Prints with Acrylic Block Background Technique

,
Comments: 0

Here is a card we are creating at my card classes this week.  Simply elegant, don’t you agree?
Change the sentiment and it will fit a variety of occasions.


Stamp Set – Nature’s Prints
Cardstock – Basic White, Basic Black, Shimmery White
Ink – Tuxedo Black
Accessories – Stampin’ Write Markers, Acrylic Block, Stampin’ Spritzer, Linen Thread, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Seal

Stamping Tip for creating background using an acrylic block:

  • Use Stampin’ Write markers to color on Acrylic Block C (I used Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron, Pear Pizzaz)
  • Lightly spritz the block with water using the Stampin’ Spritzer
  • Tip the block slightly so some of the water drops run together
  • Stamp the block on your cardstock, holding block in place for a few seconds (I like to have a cushion under the cardstock – Stampin’ Pierce Mat, Annual Catalog, etc.)
  • Let cardstock dry before stamping images on top of the background (speed up drying time using the Heat Tool)
  • Try different color combinations of Stampin’ Write Markers.  Do not use Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers.  They will not work the same.

Save 10% when you purchase the Nature’s Prints stamp set & dies as a Bundle.
