A Special Technique

The first card was featured at one of my club events.  I wanted the background to stand out, so we die cut a two-step stamped flower and placed it so you could see the background.

THIS card.  When I saw this technique - WOW!    When I first saw this card it looked like the butterflies were inlaid on the background.  They're not.  Each butterfly is popped on top of the colored background with dimensionals. 

This technique uses blender brushes!  I made a stencil from this single-die cut that cuts out all six of these butterflies, then layered Calypso Coral, So Saffron, and Daffodil Delight with a swirling motion so each butterfly had a bit of each color. 

The greeting comes from the Many Messages stamp/die cuts.

Blossoms in Bloom Congratulations!

One of the teacher assistants I work very closely with won Support Person of the Year at my school campus!  I'm thrilled for her - she works so hard and helps me out more than she knows.  I'm very grateful to her and tell her often.

I actually had the card base stamped, and just added a few fun things for her and will present this to her when we're back at school.

I actually made 6 or 7 of these panels.  I just love our new In-Colors so much!  I set up the largest blooms stamp on my Stamparatus and then after the main image was stamped, added in the smaller images with their individual colors with smaller blocks.  The greetings are popped with dimensionals and the ribbon is adhered with a glue dot.

Whimsy Card Zebra! 2021 Stamp Club

The ladies in my club have asked for more whimsy type stamping ideas.  I actually had the zebra stamps, they just needed to be used.  I also had a request for more ideas using the In-Colors DSP.  

The Magenta color isn't showing well here - it's a really nice bright pink.  I'll work on photographing it so it shows better.

Here we go!

  

I hope you like this little guy.  He's so cute!  The zebra stamps have lots of different options.

For the greeting on the front, I used a new die from our Mini Catalog that runs from January 5th to the end of June.  You'll see many references to it!
