Fun Watercolor Background Technique: Smooshing

8/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
I have another watercolor technique to share with you today - smooshing! It's as fun as the name. In this short video, I shared how I did this technique. Don't worry - it's less messy than it looks! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
BONUS: Click to check out my other blog post with an additional sample that I made with one of the backgrounds created in the video. 
Picture
For each of these cards, I created the background on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and used Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point re-inkers. 

My first sample uses the Forever Fern stamp set and dies. After stamping the leaves in Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy ink, I sent over them with a Water Painter to pull the color through the whole leaf. The Granny Apple Green card base is embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
My second sample uses the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I added a few branches at the top with Night of Navy ink. I stamped the greeting with Pacific Point ink and cut it into three pieces. I mounted the pieces to the front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. The Pacific Point card front is embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.

For the last card, I stamped the stripes from the Pattern Play stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink. I attached a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I cut the letters using the Playful Alphabet and then adhered the negative image to my card front. The smooshed backgound is mounted on Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green cardstocks.

Two Cards with One Quick and Easy Fun Fold

7/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Last night for Mystery Stamping on the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook Group, we created this quick and easy fun fold card. Well, actually, we created two cards. Because this fun fold creates two cards! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
​
​Cutting Dimensions:
Cardstock:
  • 1 full sheet 8 ½” x 11”
  • 2 pieces (layer) - 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”
Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock:
  • 2 pieces (stamped image) - 2” x 3”
Patterned paper:
  • 2 pieces - 4” x 5 ¼”

Instructions:
Score your piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock at 5 1/2" on the 11" side and 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. (This is where you would normally cut your cardstock for card bases or fronts.)

Picture
Cut diagonally from one corner of your cardstock to the opposite corner. If your cardstock won't fit diagonally in your paper trimmer, use a ruler and pencil or bone folder to mark the line and cut it with scissors.

You now have two card bases. Fold the flaps in on each card base. Lay your two card bases in front of you. 

Lay your two pieces of patterned paper in front of you with the designs you want to show facing up. Cut these pieces diagonally as well. Go in the same direction as your card bases. 

Adhere a triangle of Designer Series Paper to each of the triangular flaps on your card bases. 

Stamp an image or greeting on your Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock. Mount it on a layer of colored cardstock and adhere it to the front of your card. Be careful to only adhere it to one flap or your card won't open!

Rooted In Nature: 1 Card, 3 Styles

2/5/2020

2 Comments

 
Picture
Whether you're new to rubber stamping and card making or you're a seasoned pro, Rooted In Nature is a gorgeous stamp set that is perfect for making elegant cards for all occasions. Because I'm stuck on plaids right now, I used with a blue plaid patterned paper from the Country Club Designer Series Paper pack. I created three cards that use the same basic layout and go from simple to oh là là!
​
Picture
Simple
Ink: Night of Navy, Garden Green
Cardstock: 
  • Night of Navy: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
  • Seaside Spray: 3 5/8" x 2 1/2"
  • Whisper White: 3 13/16" x 2 11/16", scraps
Country Club DSP: 5 1/2" x 1 3/4"

Tips: 
  • Stamp the tree with Night of Navy ink.
  • Stamp the sentiment with Garden Green ink on Whisper White cardstock, then trim each phrase leaving a small amount of white showing around the outside.

Chic
Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Night of Navy, Early Espresso, Garden Green
Cardstock: 
  • Night of Navy: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half
  • Seaside Spray: 3 5/8" x 2 5/8"
  • Whisper White: 3 13/16" x 2 13/16", scraps
  • Garden Green: Scrap
Country Club DSP​: 5 1/2" x 1 3/4"
Picture
Tips:
  • Stamp the tree with Jet Black Stazon. Color the tree by getting Garden Green and Early Espresso ink on separate clear blocks. Use an Aqua Painter to pick up the ink and watercolor the tree.
  • Wrap the card front twice with Linen thread and tie in a knot. Fray the ends. 
  • Stamp the leaf with Jet Black Stazon on Garden Green cardstock then trim. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Stamp the greeting with Night of Navy ink on Whisper White cardstock. Then trim each phrase leaving a small edge of white. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals except where the words overlap the leaf. 

Picture
Oh là là
Ink: Versamark, Garden Green, Early Espresso, Night of Navy, Whisper White
Cardstock:
  • Night of Navy: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half, 5 1/4" x 4", scraps
  • Smoky Slate: cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies 4" x 2 5/8" , scrap
Country Club DSP: 5 1/4" x 1 3/4"
Tips:
  • Emboss the piece of 5 1/4" x 4" Night of Navy cardstock with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.
  • Stamp the tree and leaf with versamark ink. Then heat emboss (directions here) with black embossing powder. Put white ink on a clear block, then use an Aqua Painter to paint the tree and leaf. Color over it by watercoloring with Garden Green, Early Espresso, and Night of Navy. Cut out the leaf.
  • Heat emboss the greeting with white embossing powder. 
  • Wrap linen thread around two fingers three times. Trim and lay on the card front. Attach the leaf and the greeting over top using Stampin' Dimensionals. These will hold the linen thread in place. 
  • Add silver pearls around the greeting.
