Happy Fourth of July Card

Leave a reply
Handmade Happy Fourth of July Card created with Dandelion Wishes.

Here is my Happy Fourth of July Card for you. When you don’t have star stamps or dies, you have to be creative to make a Fourth of July card. This stamp set is Dandelion Wishes (151345) and the dandelion seed heads look a lot like mini fireworks to me. I stamped the image in Versamark…no, I first used markers to color the stamp and then stamped it in Versamark. Big mistake! I should have stamped first in Versamark and then colored with the markers as my Versamark pad got red, blue, and yellow ink on it. Anyways, I then put retired Iridescent Ice embossing powder on the image and heat embossed it. I also did this with the greeting. The glitter from the embossing powder doesn’t show up in the above photo but check out this close-up one.

You can use a similar technique to emboss an image in any color you want. First ink the stamp with Versamark and then ink with your desired color. Stamp the image and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Supplies To Make This Happy Fourth of July Card

  • Night of Navy Cardstock 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″ and folded for card base
  • Retired red glimmer paper 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Whisper White Cardstock 5″ x 3 3/4″
  • Dandelion Wishes and retired More Great Greetings stamp sets
  • Versamark Ink and Pacific Point, Real Red, retired Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Write Markers
  • retired Iridescent Ice embossing powder, heat tool, Well-Written Dies (151816)
  • Stampin’ Seal, Stampin Dimensionals

So here’s to a great Fourth of July! Stay safe, keep your distance and mask up!

The Peony dies also include dies to cut out the stamped images.

Taking Good Care of Your Stampin’ Blends

Leave a reply
Photo of some Stampin' Blends

Taking good care of your Stampin’ Blends is of utmost importance if you love them as much as I do. Since the Stampin’ Blends are alcohol-based inks, they will dry out much faster than a water based- marker when exposed to air.  That is why the tops are extremely tight.  When you are closing your markers, make sure you hear a “click” which will assure you that your marker is closed correctly.  You may even want to press the end that you closed down on the table to be extra careful.

The caps have an interior well which is designed to keep the marker wet as long as possible.  Make certain you have inserted the marker tip straight-on into the top.  If not, you may mash the tip of the marker and blunt the tip.  So, take time to close your markers correctly.

Do not leave your markers open for long periods of time.  When coloring an image in which I am switching colors, I slide the tip loosely into the top case so they are not exposed to the air when I know I will be using that color several times.

There are two ends to your Stampin’ Blends.  One end is a brush type nib and the other end is more like a pen to create find lines.  There is a white line on each of the caps.  One has a thicker line which goes to the brush type end and the thin line goes to the thin, pen type end.  Make certain you are adding the correct top.  There is also a picture on each end of the marker showing the thick and the thin ends of the marker.

When storing your Stampin’ Blends, make certain they are stored horizontally.  The barrel is rectangular shaped to keep them from rolling and helps keep them from rolling away.

By taking good care of your Stampin’ Blends, they will have a much longer life.

Another World of Good Graduation Card

Leave a reply
handmade graduation card created with World of Good suite of products

Here is another World of Good Graduation Card I created with the World of Good Suite (154140) of products. I had to make seven of these so this design is less intricate. Actually, I had the cut out portion of the card I posted on Saturday lying on my Big Shot table and decided to make good use of it.

The World of Good Suite is found on pgs 24 – 26 in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog. I love this suite for a couple of reasons. You can quickly create exceptional cards with the stunning World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper that has several designs embossed with Brass foil. Brass foil sheets are part of the suite. These foil sheets coordinate perfectly with the dsp. The Beautiful World stamp set has great sayings as well as a vintage look to the images. Finally, the World Map Dies perfectly cut out the images eliminating the need of hand cutting.

These are the supplies I used to make Another World of Good Graduation Card:
-The card base is the lovely new Misty Moonlight, one of the new 2020-2022 In Colors 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
– The second layer is the misty moonlight pattern of the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper 5 1/4″ x 4″.
– The next layer is the Cinnamon Cider map pattern die-cut with the largest shaped die of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
– Stamp the greeting from the Beautiful World stamp set with Memento ink and cut out with a rectangular Stitched So Sweetly die.
– Adhere this with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a small Gilded Gem.

Three Faux Watercolor Techniques

Leave a reply

Today I am going to show you three faux watercolor techniques. Yes, there are three ways to achieve a water-colored look without actually pulling out your watercolors.

handmade greeting card using Faux Watercoloring Technique 1

In the card above I used the first of three faux watercolor techniques.

  • Color directly on the rubber stamp with markers. You can use different colors in different spaces if desired.
  • Lightly Spritz the air above the stamp with water and allow the mist to fall on the ink. For a more detailed water-colored look, use just a little water. To have a less defined image use more water.
  • Stamp onto your cardstock and allow to dry. You can gently blot image with a paper towel if there is too much bleeding and water.

This next card demonstrates the second of Three Faux Watercolor Technique,s a watercolor wash. The background has been created with this type of faux watercolor.

handmade greeting card using the faux watercoloring technique that is a watercolor wash
  • Scribble on an acrylic block with one color of marker.
  • Above that scribble a second and third color. You can even blend them at the color junctures.
  • Lightly spritz the air above the block with water allowing the mist to fall on the block. You will want the block to have enough water on it that the colors start running into each other.
  • Stamp the block on a piece of cardstock.
  • Blot excess water and ink with a paper towel.
  • When cardstock dries, stamp an image over the watercolor wash.

This is the third Faux Watercolor Technique.

handmade card created with a third faux watercolor technique
  • Lightly mist cardstock, preferably watercolor paper, with water.
  • Stamp image with a water-based ink.
  • Mist the cardstock again so the ink starts to run. When it has run as much as you want, blot excess water with a paper towel.
  • When cardstock is dry, stamp greeting below the water-colored image.

To recreate these cards yourself you will need the following products:

  • Misty Moonlight, Soft Seafoam and Just Jade cardstock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and folded for card bases
  • Thick Whisper White cardstock scraps for first two cards
  • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper scrap for third card
  • Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper 5 1/4″ x 4″ for the first two cards
  • Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper on third card
  • Forever Fern stamp set
  • Inks – Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz ink pads: Stampin’ Write Markers – Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Granny Apple Green
  • Accessories – Misty Moonlight 1/4″ Ribbon, Stitched Nested Lables Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Most of these supplies are new to the 2020-2021 Annual catalog which will go live on June 3. If you live in the United States and don’t have a current demonstrator and would like your own copy of the new catalog, contact me and I’ll be happy to mail you one.

Easy Faux Silk Technique

Leave a reply
Handmade card using the Faux Silk Technique and Timeless Tropical Stamp Set

I made this beautiful card using the Faux Silk Technique. This technique is easy to do and gives a lovely texture to your background. You can stamp on the faux silk portion of the card or leave it a solid color.

How to do the Easy Faux Silk Technique –

Supplies:
Stamp set of your choice’
Ink colors of your choice
Piece of cardstock of desired size
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
tissue paper either white or colored about 1/2″ larger on all sides than cardstock

Instructions:
1. If you want a design on your faux silk, stamp it now on the piece of tissue paper. Then crumple the tissue paper into a tight ball.
2. Open the ball up and lightly smooth the tissue paper out leaving lots of wrinkles still in it.
3. Apply glue all over the cardstock using the broad end of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
4. Lay the tissue down on the glue pressing it down into the glue wrinkles and all. Allow to dry.
5. When dry, trim off the excess tissue paper and use this for a layer on your card. You could use a larger piece of cardstock and tissue paper and create a lovely paper for a small gift box.

To Make Card

Supplies:
Stamp Set – Timeless Tropical (151497)
Inks – Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers, Memento Ink Pad, Combo Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends
Cardstock – Crumb Cake 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″ for card base, Old Olive 5 1/4″ x 4″, Whisper White 4 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ plus scrap for greeting, Soft Suede scrap
Accessories – Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690), Multipurpose Liquid Glue, white tissue paper, paper snips, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin0 Dimensionals

Instructions:
1. Ink the palm tree stamp with the markers and randomly stamp all over the piece of tissue paper.
2. Follow the instructions for the Faux Silk technique as above.
3. Adhere the Old Olive CS to card front and the faux silk layer to the Old Olive layer.
4. Stamp the greeting and the plumeria flower on scraps of Whisper White CS with memento ink. Color the flower with the Stampin’ Blends and cut out with the paper snips.
5. Die-cut the greeting with the third from inside Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die and use the next size up to cut a layer from the Soft Suede CS. This leaves a fairly large border around the white label so I cut the Soft Suede layer down a bit. I show you how in the video.
6. Layer the labels together with SNAIL and then adhere them to the card front. Add the flower with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Now it’s your turn to do the Faux Silk Technique. I’d love for you to share your end results with me. Email or text me a photo of it.
